Breakfast!

I have always had trouble with breakfast.... People always say it is the most important meal of the day, but I always value sleep more than waking up and making breakfast. I never thought that skipping a meal might actually make me GAIN weight?! It is proven that eating breakfast boosts your metabolism! It also helps in avoiding cravings before lunch.

Most of the time I'll just grab a granola bar, but why settle for a granola bar when you can have a delicious breakfast that can be prepared in under 12 minutes?? With these recipes, I've found a motivation to wake up and fit in breakfast, not only because I know it boosts my metabolism, but because it's delicious!

Here are some of my favorites!



1. Egg in a basket! (also known as frog in a hole...)
This one is super simple. Get a piece of Whole Grain bread and cut a hole in the center. Turn a frying pan on medium-high, crack the egg into the whole of the bread and let it cook. Once the egg is cooked through flip it, and you're done!  

2. Oatmeal!
Just add water microwave. Create the base for oatmeal is easy, and once you have the possibilities are endless! What you add to your oatmeal is the most important part. Eating it plain is kinda bland.... I always prefer putting in a little bit of brown sugar, but I also highly suggest apples and cinnamon! The heat of the oatmeal cooks the apples, and creates a warm and gooey treat. Check out some more ideas for your oatmeal!

3. Breakfast Pizza!
One of my favorite things as a kid was eating leftover cold pizza in the mornings... there's a healthy way to do that! If you make this before bed it'll be ready to go when you wake up! This way you don't have to choose between your metabolism and sleep. All you do is toast a piece of whole grain bread as your pizza crust, then add the toppings you prefer! You can also do this with whole wheat tortillas. You could make it a traditional pizza with sauce, cheese, peppers... OR you can make it more of a breakfast pizza and add ham or sausage.
