My love for breakfast and brunch runs deep, so naturally, many of the recipes that I create fit into this category. As a Registered Dietitian with over 17 years of experience (and a mom of 3) I’ve got quite a few! But I’ve hand-picked my faves and can’t wait for you to try them.
I’ve included a nice variety of sweet, savoury, gluten-free-friendly, dairy-free-friendly and vegan-friendly options so that there’s something for everyone. These recipes are perfect for feeding a crowd, and many of them you can make ahead. They’re super easy to throw together too, which makes it easy to get your kiddos involved in the kitchen.
