Our Favorite Breakfasts

Here’s are some of our favorite breakfasts from baked pancakes to smoothies!

Sheet pan pancakes with butter and maple syrup

Our Favorite Breakfasts

Do you love cinnamon rolls on Sunday mornings? Avocado toasts? Breakfast sandwiches or biscuits with sausage gravy? We love breakfast – it’s everyone’s favorite meal in our house! 

Sheet Pan Pancakes

Have you made sheet pan pancakes yet?! I’m trying to make them at least once a week because in about 15 minutes time we have breakfast for at least a few days! It’s actually kind of crazy how quickly four people can eat a sheet pan of pancakes. I should probably start making two batches! It’s one of our favorite breakfast recipes. Add it to your list of easy breakfast ideas.

Oatmeal + Smoothies

Mazen has recently turned against oatmeal!! But Birch still loves it. He calls it “Eatmeal” and when it’s placed in front of him he says proudly, “I LOVE EATMEAL!” 

Also: can we get a shout out for strawberry season!?! I always add some peanut butter or almond butter to my oatmeal for a more satisfying morning meal. 

Ice Cream Smoothie

I recently brought out the tamper stick that goes in the top of the Vitamix. It pushes the ingredients to the sides so you can use less liquid. The result: ice cream texture!

English Muffin Egg Sandwich

English muffins + fried eggs + cheese = sandwich bliss! 

Banana Smash Toast

Smashed banana is so much better than sliced!

Breakfast In Bed

Mazen prepared this hot chocolate and toast breakfast for the family early one Saturday morning. I didn’t mind in the least that he made the hot chocolate with half and half and probably didn’t wash the teapot first. We had to partake!! 

The bunny house was a Target spring product we did together a la gingerbread house.

Baked Eggs

These easy baked eggs with red peppers, wilted greens and cheese is easy to assemble egg dish to make on a weekend morning for brunch. Bonus: it’s totally delicious! It’s like a mini breakfast casserole with a single serving baked egg inside. A simple hearty breakfast for one. 

Healthy Baked Oatmeal

Move over coffee cake, this healthy baked oatmeal breakfast casserole is the best way to get all of your favorite seasonal flavors in one cozy dish. Oats, warm spices, canned pumpkin, and just a touch of caramelized brown sugar topping make this crave-worthy baked oatmeal a must-make for a delicious breakfast. Make it gluten free using gluten-free oats. 

Egg Scramble

My go-to for brunch or lunch when I don’t have any other proteins to use up is an egg scramble! Just cook scrambled egg with peppers, spinach, and cheese and Red Hot Blues on the side. 

Recent Blue Apron Dinners

This Chorizo with Potatoes dinner from Blue Apron was really unique! A casserole bake of chorizo with potatoes, peppers, almonds, herbs, and figs! 

Cajun shrimp with zucchini, peppers and rice and a saucy sauce! Kombucha on the side.

This booch is one of my favorite brands. I thought the Bubbly Rose would be a bit more rosy, but it was still delicious. I’m trying to do kombucha instead of wine during the week days! (Note the label so other family members don’t gulp it down ) 

Seared Scallops with rice, citrus salsa, pistachios, and mint! Loved this combo as well.  

And Southern-spiced tilapia with homemade cornbread and slaw.

Homemade pizza night on a warm evening to wrap up the week!

Birch got a hair trim!

He went with his dad to visit a job site to see the big trucks, and Thomas sent me this photo of the ponytail they had put on his head!

Mama gave him a snip the next day : ) 

Looking just like little Mazey here!

Mazen’s haircut is next!!!
