Upping My Breakfast Game

Happy Sunday!

I was in the process of editing all of my recent food photos (including vacation) when I realized that breakfast needed a post of its own. It’s been really good lately! As most of you know, I’m a pretty repetitive breakfast eater and I don’t lean towards savory very often when it comes to the first meal of the day. I’ve shared in the past that I struggle with finding eggs to be an appealing choice first thing in the morning but that finally seems to be shifting and I’ve eaten eggs every morning for a week now!

My breakfasts have felt really well rounded and have kept me full through lunch. Here’s a recap of how I’ve been starting my days on the food front.

dairy-free blueberry pancakes along with a fried egg and fresh farmers market fruit

And finally, Sunday brunch was fluffy dairy-free blueberry pancakes (recipe soon!) along with a fried egg and fresh farmers market fruit.

I’m liking this new direction that breakfast is taking! 🙂

What have you been eating for breakfast lately? 

Eggs first thing in the morning…yes or no? 

Favorite way to eat your eggs? I love them scrambled with just a little salt and butter in the skillet.
