Mmmm the cinnamon filling for the pancakes. |
Look at those beauties cookin’. |
Cinnamon roll pancakes! I made these for my family, and they were pretty darn good! |
Look at that little smile! |
And of course TJ was taking his morning nap right underneath me while I was cooking. |
Sweet little moment between my dad and Miki. |
Aaaaand then Willow sees Miki is getting brushed… |
…so she of course gets right in the middle of it! |
My mom and I made this little fairy garden for my dad that doubles as a hummingbird feeder, since he loves birds! |
The card I made for my dad. |
It even lights up! I’ll be doing a whole post on this in the coming week so be on the look out for that! 🙂 |
Perry apparently did not want to be photographed… |
I had to show you guys the close-up. |
Angel never looks amused when I pull the camera out, but I promise she’s a sweetheart! |
When I found out I had to stick to a gluten free diet – you can read more about it on my post How To Eat Gluten Free – I knew breakfast would be a little difficult to figure out. I usually ate some kind of cereal that had wheat in it, so at first it was kind of hard adjusting. But, after reading from sources online and just simply going to the grocery store to check out my options, I’ve come up with some really solid go-to recipes for breakfast!
2. Gluten Free Toast and an Egg
Can we just appreciate how good this egg looked before I tried to flip it? |
Since I was a kid, toast and an egg has been one of my favorite breakfast foods. It really fills you up (especially this 7-grain kind!), and gives you a lot of energy for the rest of the day. I have also been obsessed with Cajun seasoning lately – I have been putting it on everything guys – and I put some on my egg and it tasted amazing! You seriously need to try it. I just put grape jelly on my toast with no butter or anything since I’m not the biggest fan of butter, and it tastes great! This is also a really fast breakfast for days that you don’t really have time. And nowadays, gluten free bread doesn’t taste any different than regular, so you can have your toast and eat it too!
3. Omelette With (optional) Salsa
You know this is full of Cajun seasoning. |
Another obsession of mine: salsa. |
Omelette’s are such a great breakfast food! Not only do they taste great, but they are great for you! I fill mine with sautéed vegetables, Cajun seasoning, and a little bit of cheese, and top it all off with a generous amount of homemade salsa! My taste buds are probably numb from all the spices I put them through, but ohmygosh does it taste amazing. Seriously, add in some bell peppers too and this is heaven!
Well, there you have it! Three different ideas for gluten-free breakfasts! There are definitely more that I love (gluten-free pancakes, oatmeal, Puffins cereal…) so if you want some more ideas, just let me know! I seriously always wake up hungry so it’s super important for me to always have solid breakfast ideas I can regularly fall back on. And since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I like to keep them healthy so I can get my body ready for whatever!
What is your favorite breakfast food?
Thank you so much for reading, and have a wonderful day! 🙂
