I have 3 kids, plus a husband who is like a big kid and the last thing I want to do is prepare a big fanfare of a breakfast and then get stuck washing a million dishes. So when my little T asks me for French toast I am more than happy to oblige, because, well, you just can't get any easier than this:
6 slices sprouted cinnamon raisin bread such as Ezekiel or store brand (thawed)
2 eggs
1tsp real vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon (more to taste if you like)
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (use vanilla unsweetened almond milk if you have it, I was out)
1 tsp unrefined coconut oil/ real butter
Fresh or frozen berries, bananas, fruit.. Etc!
Syrup, honey, agave, peanut butter...etc!
Heat & grease a griddle or pan.
Mix the eggs, vanilla, cinnamon & milk with a whisk, vigorously.
Once the griddle/ pan is hot, dunk the slices of bread into the egg mix and slap it on the hot griddle.
Cook the bread about 4 minutes on each side, but you should always watch it carefully since stoves/ griddle temps can vary.
I topped my French toast with blueberries, banana and sugar free pancake syrup. Yummmm :)
Enjoy!

Quinoa, sweet potato, egg hash
I like to enjoy my breakfast. Savor it. Experience the flavors and textures bite by bite. Unless of course I'm haaaaaangry! And believe me today I was just that.
I have a monthly meals schedule that I make up according to what I have on hand and I mostly go by that. Today was supposed to be sweet potato & eggs... Which is yummy all on its own :) But I was really in the mood for hash! Headed to the fridge, rummaged around and voila, here you have it. My own variation of "hash" clean mama style! Enjoy!
-D
1 small sweet potato
1 T unrefined coconut oil divided
About 1 cup pre cooked seasoned quinoa (I used roasted garlic & rosemary quinoa leftovers)
1/4 onion chopped
Handful baby spinach leaves or whatever greens you want
Eggs- poached, fried, whatever you like!
- I started by stabbing (!) my potato and nukin' it in the microwave for bout 4 minutes
- once the potato was done I roughly chopped it with skin on.
- chop onions, melt 1T oil in pan
- add all the ingredients except eggs and stir fry for a few minutes
- prepare your eggs, I melted a little more coconut oil in a small egg pan and fried my eggs and left the yolk runny (of course).
* once you're "hash" is all heated up and you're greens are wilted put it all together on a plate and NOM!!!!!!!!
