​CHEESY TOFU SCRAMBLE 

​Breakfast scrambles are a popular go-to choice for so many looking for a protein rich, warm and savory breakfast. So many of my clients looking to make the shift to eating more plant-based find this recipe to be a perfect substitute for eggs. When discovering eggs are a top food allergen for some they immediately ask for a substitute and this is it.  Like most scrambles pretty much anything goes. The key is to season your scramble.

​NUTTY AND SEEDY BREAD

Here is a fantastic, whole-food recipe for a delicious and filling bread that is best made as toast. Because it's made with unrefined ingredients it won't spike your glucose levels and even better, it keeps you feeling satiated and delivers a grand amount of fiber.  Make it will quinoa flakes instead of oats for even more whole-some, high protein, amino-acids benefits. Yes, you can still make your bread and eat it too. How fabulous is this!

​SAVORY STEEL CUT RIS-OAT-O BREAKFAST BOWL

Oh my ode to slow cooked oats! I just adore this belly warming, ever so perfect comfort food and the endless creative and artist play you can have with it.
This  slow cooked recipe makes a big batch so do reduce it if you're not cooking for a few or planning to enjoy it all week. If you are then you are good to go. Vary up your toppings each time you enjoy it. Yes, choosing a sweet take sometimes is fine. Just keep in mind, its best to enjoy a savory first meal of the day for better blood sugar levels and less risk of cravings for sweets later in the day.

BRAISED PASTURED EGGS with VEGETABLES
​
If eggs are a part of your diet, I suggest you lean into poached, braised or lightly scrambled. High heat frying isn't suggested. Here, no recipe is required. Simply braise or steam some of your favorite leafy greens seasoning with sea salt and black pepper or cayenne until just about done. Next add your eggs along with a little added water or broth if needed. Season and top with a lid, cooking over low heat until your egg is done as desired. Serve along with fresh veg like avocado and cherry tomatoes. Season this as well and drizzle with olive oil. (I've linked my fave to enjoy raw - the flavor is so, so good!) Now sit down and enjoy this wholesome classic breakfast.
