Breakfast – the most important meal of the day, they say! However, my husband believes that the more you eat, the more you eat! So, that's why I’m CONSTANTLY hungry, and eating, while he is not. (Maybe that’s also why I’m packin’ on the lbs.)! But hey, I’ve also been either pregnant, or breastfeeding for like the last 4 years – so like, I’m feeding for 2, am I right?
Anyway.. I’ve compiled a LIST of my FAV go-to tried and true recipes! 3 for breakfast!! 3 for lunch, and 3 for dinner is coming soon, maybe some appies too? Let me know if you want to see those!
These are simple, delicious, and GREAT even for the picky eaters in the fam. Some are healthy, some are not, we don’t discriminate in our house when it comes to food! So.. let’s get into the recipes!
1.) Almond Flour Pancakes – Allrecipes is the original recipe! These pancakes are packed full of protein, they’re fluffy, and taste DELICIOUS. They’re super easy, take 10 minutes to prep, and 10 minutes to cook!
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups of Almond Flour - ½ Cup of water - 2 TBSP maple syrup - 4 Eggs - ½ tsp salt
For Cooking:
1 teaspoon oil, or as needed
Directions:
Whisk together all ingredients in a bowl until batter is smooth. Heat oil in skillet over medium heat, and drop batter onto the griddle, and cook until bubbles form, and the edges are dry, about 3-5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with maple syrup, or your desired pancake toppings.
2.) Bacon, Egg Casserole
This one is GREAT for larger crowds, or if you want to prep ahead, and then pop it in the oven the following morning for a quick, and healthy breakfast! This is a recipe from GiGi!!

Tips:
*You can sub pre cooked bacon, However, I find fresh tastes better!
*You can adjust the time/heat. I’ve been in a time crunch, and cooked at 375 for 25-30 mins
*You can sub PLAIN Greek yogurt for sour cream

If you want to eat: Cover and place in fridge overnight (You CAN eat it immediately, but it’s much better if you let it sit overnight). Cook at 350 for 45-50 mins
If you want to freeze: Cover with foil, and freeze. When ready, thaw overnight in fridge. Cook at 350 for 45-50 mins.
Optional TIPS: If you’re afraid of it drying out, place a few dabs of butter on top when you bake it. Serve with icing sugar and maple syrup.
