My Many Breakfast Phases

And my current granola recipe

It’s time to talk about breakfast. It’s a meal that can be such a challenge and also can really anchor your day in a pleasant way. Weekday and weekend breakfasts, like eyebrows, are sisters, not twins.

Do you have breakfast down? We’ve also talked about lunch:

I started making my own granola a little over a month ago and it’s really renewed my enthusiasm for breakfast—I’m sharing my recipe here (which is inspired by

Personally, I get into weekday breakfast routines for months at a time and then I get very sick of the foods and need to switch things up, either superficially or dramatically. You won’t see any oatmeal on this list because I ate it almost exclusively for breakfast for over ten years and can’t do it anymore. Oatmeal is a great breakfast and we’re on a break right now. It’s not you, it’s me.

Now, let’s get into our granola!

I love eating yogurt out of a pink bowl!
