3 Wholesome Ways to Start Your Morning

Let me first make one thing clear: I am not a morning person. I have never been a morning person. I will probably never be a morning person. If it weren’t for the whole, ‘having a job and needing to be a responsible adult’ thing, I would probably go to bed around 2:00 a.m. and wake up around 10:00 a.m. (assuming a blissful 8 hours of sleep). In college, my earliest class began at 10:00 a.m. and my motto was, “if your major requires you to take 8:00 a.m. classes, then change your major.” Unfortunately, that doesn’t quite fly in the corporate world ten years later. Though, I am quite lucky, as my current job begins at 9:30 a.m., so while I do get to bed before 2:00 a.m., I have a little more luxury than most when it comes to hitting that snooze button at 7:30 a.m. Even so, I do need some motivation to actually get out of bed when the alarm goes off and let me tell you, it’s not a one-step process. For those of you who, like me, struggle with mornings, here are a few tricks in my arsenal that get me rising and shining […]

“Egg-centric” Brunch Menu [Ham & Cheddar Miniature Quiches]

It’s been well documented that brunch parties are among my favorite occasions for entertaining. Whether it’s a last-minute winter brunch or you’re whipping up a batch of chai-spiced apple cinnamon pancakes for a special occasion breakfast in bed. If you’re hosting Easter brunch at home, there’s really only one way to celebrate and that is with eggs. Eggs are the ultimate Easter entertaining food. Not only are they delicious, but they’re affordable at approximately 20 cents apiece and incredibly versatile. So versatile that you can serve them at any party in more than one way, and I can almost guarantee you that nobody will complain. My favorite way to serve eggs for a brunch party is in a quiche or fritatta. When serving a crowd, I like to make miniature quiches so that if someone arrives late or wants to pop back into the kitchen for seconds after the meal has been served, they can easily reheat their portion. “Egg-centric” Brunch Menu Deviled Eggs, Three Ways Cherry Lime Scones Ham & Cheddar Miniature Quiches (recipe below) Arugula Salad with Pear & Blue Cheese Blueberry Elderberry Tart with Shortbread Crust Pro-Tip: if you’re also planning to make the above deviled eggs, the American Egg […]

Healthy Breakfast Options with Special K® Red Berries Cereal

As much as I would like to cook breakfast every day, I can tell you without hesitation that it happens roughly 1% of the time. I love eggs, but eggs require cooking and cooking requires the washing of dishes and none of those things really need to happen before work on a weekday. To keep you from doing any unnecessary cooking on workday mornings, I’ve partnered with Special K Red Berries to talk a little bit about how a healthy breakfast can fit easily into your morning routine. I’ve gone through many phases of breakfast over the course of my life: in high school, it was whatever I could eat in the car and generally something that came from the freezer section of the grocery store. In college, I often skipped breakfast altogether and at my first job, I had oatmeal sweetened with a little bit of maple syrup every. single. day. I’ve been through egg white phases, Starbucks breakfast sandwich phases, homemade breakfast sandwich phases and Greek yogurt phases. Mix Red Berries cereal, pretzel sticks and soy nuts or seeds. Super simple & yummy! The one thing that never gets old though is cereal and milk. For as long as I […]
