Breakfast is by far my favorite meal of the day.  I wake up ready to eat.  And I usually eat twice before 10am.  Several weeks ago I asked all of you readers on Facebook what you wanted to see more of.  Breakfast ideas was one of the answers.  So here you go: 28 Awesome REAL FOOD Breakfast ideas.

Below I have listed some really amazing,  grain-free breakfast ideas.  I included a few properly-prepared grain breakfast ideas towards the end for those who enjoy a little grain in the morning.  Buen provecho!

    So excited I found this site on fb post by a lunchbox post today. I have been told by my holistic dermatologist to eat better. I have some skin issues. So anyway, I told her unusually eat wheaties with a spoon of sugar in the morning. Or a scrabbled egg. My kids are both picky and usually want pancakes or cereal. My husband isn’t picky. Anyway, I looked at the yum recipes and decided my goal is to try one a week. Yippee. I can’t wait! Thanks again. I really wouldn’t think of these things!

      Yay! I’m glad that you found me. I am always looking for new ideas for food too. You might be surprised how kids adapt to healthier eating when we get creative. 🙂
