Mmmm…mmmmm…BREAKFAST!! I’m a breakfast lover. As a kid growing up, we didn’t eat a hot breakfast. It was usually just cereal, poptarts, toast or on fancy occasions, toaster struddles. You know, the good ole kid stuff! However, marrying Beau has turned me into a serious breakfast person! Breakfast is his favorite meal of the day. Eating a good balanced breakfast just seems to start my day the right way! I wake up extra early to cook breakfast, even on the mornings I coach the 5 am class. I wake up at 3:30 am, just so I can eat breakfast, drink my coffee and have a moment of peace to myself before dealing with those crazy 5 AMers 🙂 It sets the tone for the day.

This recipe is one that I used to cook all the time, but forgot about it until recently. It’s a great meal prep recipe. I put them in glass containers so that I can simply turn on the oven and pop it in when I wake up. It heats while I get dressed and make my coffee.

I found this recipe on the Skinny Taste website! Hope you enjoy it!
