What 'prepare-ahead' breakfasts have you been maki

Here’s one of the quick & easy, prepare-ahead br

Here’s one of the quick & easy, prepare-ahead breakfasts I mention in my latest podcast, “Preparing Ahead for Breakfasts ‘On-the-Go’!”

Have some baked “Herbed Meatballs” in the fridge ready to go for breakfast, snacks or lunchboxes (recipe in Simple, Healing Food - but basically it’s just mince, herbs, garlic (opt), salt & pepper - bake on oven tray for 15 mins at 200C). Warm a few meatballs in a pan with ghee or olive oil, add whisked eggs and scramble! I also like to add some chopped chives or fresh herbs sometimes. Serve with sauerkraut and micro greens or salad for a nutrient-dense breakfast! (Or lunch!)

You can find my video podcasts of prepare-ahead breakfast ideas on Quirky Cooking Chats (podcast and YouTube). 🍳🥑🫐

{Quirky Cooking Chats Podcast} Preparing Ahead for Breakfasts "On-the-Go" (Part 2) is up! How to boost your breakfast when your busy routine doesn’t allow time for a sit-down breakfast in the morning 🥑🍳🍎

Toast and cereal may be easy options, but they often cause bloating or blood sugar crashes later on. A "quick carbs" breakfast also means you’ll generally be hungry again in a couple of hours, whereas a nutrient-dense breakfast will set you up for hours and will reduce the desire for snacking later on!

Our Quirky team trip in fast forward! 🎉🎉 Team working holiday + book signings + nutrition summit + catch-ups with friends + lots and lots of good food and fun!! 😄😁😍 It was lovely to meet so many of you and hang out IRL for the first time in what seems like YEARS (oh wait, it has been years 😵‍💫). There was lots of chatting, laughing, hugging, eating, learning, listening, and even a few tears. It was amazing. And I am so tired after all the late nights, early mornings and all-day-peopling but it was #worthit 😄

Weekend treats ❤️ It’s been a while since I made the Nutty Chocolate from Life-Changing Food! Today was the live “Snacks” class for our online gut health program (The Gut Health Formula) and we talked about natural sweeteners, healthy snack ideas, reducing the food stress, and lots of different ways to make CHOCOLATE!! And we made this recipe. So good, if I may say so myself 😁

What’s your favourite additions to homemade chocolate? I added lots of roasted almonds, macadamias and cashews to this one. And I may have eaten too many pieces while cutting it up… 🙈😂

Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.

- John Muir

Camping under the stars - I didn’t stay the night (it was the kid’s camping trip), but the long, dirt-road drive around the lake and the quiet, starry night and watching the moon rise was a great way to end a busy week. 💙

Happy Saturday, I hope you’re taking some time out to let your soul catch up to your body this weekend! 🤗

⭐️ If you have kids that reject your attempts to wean them off toast and cereal and onto more wholesome choices, there are lots of tips for you!

⭐️ And for those who have a little more time in the mornings but just feel uninspired by breakfast, there are plenty of ideas to help you get your breakfast mojo back!!

In this episode:
- why your breakfast should always include quality proteins & fats
- how to avoid the mid-morning blood sugar crash
- how to get off the 'fast carbs' roller coaster
- tips for transitioning to a nutrient-dense breakfast
- prepare-ahead and 'grab n go' breakfast ideas to replace 'toast & cereal' breakfasts, including gluten free, grain free, starch free, egg free, nut free and dairy free options

Watch to the end to see me demonstrating a few 'prepare ahead' breakfast ideas! 😃

Monday cook-up… chicken stock, roasted chicken drumsticks (after making stock), ghee, hearty beef stew (using some of the stock), blueberry cobbler and blueberry cupcakes (with fresh blueberries given to me from a local farm and my vanilla cupcake batter), sticky date puddings (haven’t made the sauce yet), breakfast casserole, and grain-free wrap dough! Not a bad effort, thanks to my lovely sister’s help 🤗 Most of these recipes are from my Simple, Healing Food cookbook, except the grain-free dough which is in Life-Changing Food, the blueberry cobbler which is similar to the upside-down cake in my reels, and the sticky date puddings which will be up on the blog soon! 😍
