Wellness Mama Breakfast Recipes

I’m a big fan of simple, healthy meals that take only a few minutes to cook (even better if they use just one pan). An egg dish similar to huevos rancheros, shakshuka eggs fit this description perfectly. My family fell in love with this dish for its simplicity and flavor. It doesn’t hurt that it’s beautiful …

The quicker and easier breakfast is, the better. Eggs are our go-to breakfast since they’re an inexpensive and healthy protein source that can be cooked quickly. It doesn’t take long though until we get tired of the typical fried or scrambled approach. Shirred eggs are a new (and kind of fancy) spin on breakfast eggs. …

I’m always looking for simple meals to pull together for my family when we’re busy. If the recipe uses one pan, can go in a slow-cooker (or Instant Pot), or can be made ahead, I’m all in! But it can be hard to find simple recipes that also offer high nutritional value. Crustless quiche is a perfect …

I’m a big fan of eating a filling breakfast to start the day off right. When we have oatmeal, steel-cut oats are my go-to choice. They’re less processed than rolled oats and keep you feeling full longer. We like to try different add-ins to the oats for interest and variety after getting them out of the …

When we went grain free, I thought I had given up the waffle iron forever. Instead we ate a lot of variations of frittatas and breakfast casseroles or repurposed leftovers. The waffle iron sat in our attic for a year until the kids asked if we could make waffles again. I played around with a lot of …

When we ditched the grains years ago, pancakes were one of the foods my kids missed most. I lost no time trying to figure out a healthy grain-free pancake recipe that could fill the void. After many (sometimes failed) kitchen experiments, we settled on these coconut flour pancakes as our new Sunday morning pancake recipe. We …

We eat eggs for breakfast often and sometimes the kids get tired of them. Grain-free pancakes pack a lot of protein and healthy fats kids need, so we opt for coconut flour or almond flour pancakes when we need a break from eggs. These easy almond flour pancakes are a regular on the menu at our …

I’ll admit, I use a lot of eggs in my recipes! I use them in my healthy butter pecan ice cream, sous vide egg bites, and even stuffed acorn squash boats. When they’re from a good source, eggs pack a lot of nutrients into a small package. They’re a great source of proteins, healthy fats, iron, and several …

A year or so ago, Starbucks announced a new menu offering: sous vide egg bites. They are one of their only gluten-free food options and I’ve seen several people raving about them on social media. I tried them while traveling when there were no other decent breakfast options and I’ll give it to Starbucks on the taste… they …

My breakfast horizons have really expanded now that my autoimmune condition is under control (thanks to diet, fasting, and help from a great doctor). I’ve started reintroducing some select dairy to my diet, especially since I found a new brand of grass-fed cottage cheese I can actually get behind. One of the first recipes I …

One of the biggest challenges in switching to a real food diet is figuring out what to eat for breakfast. Breakfast cereals are a really common choice these days, especially for kids, but sadly are not real food. Even healthy and organic breakfast cereals must be processed in some way to reach cereal form, and …

On days when a fast and simple breakfast is needed, a basic frittata recipe saves invaluable time (and delivers on a hearty helping of healthy veggies to boot!). Just prepare and stick in the oven while you get ready or shower, and it is ready by the time you are done. (Or try these ham and cheese …

Winter may be on its way out, but some mornings my family still craves a warm, nourishing breakfast. Since I found out I’m allergic to eggs, my no-oat oatmeal is out and we wanted another healthy and hearty breakfast option. Of course, we don’t do oatmeal around here and I’m not about to give my …

I’m so excited to share this grain-free flatbread recipe with you — it’s become a favorite in my house and I know you’ll love it too! There are three parts to this recipe, but it’s actually really easy to put together. You can also make any of the three recipes as a stand-alone side dish. When …

Breakfast sausage is a favorite food of the men (including the little ones) in our home. I love it too, but don’t love that many store-bought breakfast sausages have nitrates or nitrites and other preservatives and flavors added. When a local farmer started selling pastured pork, I decided to figure out a recipe for homemade …

Note from Katie: This recipe is a guest post from Lauren Geertsen of Empowered Sustenance. The Omnipresent Pumpkin The crisp, clean fall breeze means reacquainting ourselves with cozy sweaters, mugs of cocoa by the fireplace, and–of course–pumpkins. Pumpkins are everywhere. My homepage of Pinterest now resembles a sheet of orange polka dots with all the …
