Breakfast, the most important meal of the day. I like the burst of energy I get as soon as I have eaten in the morning! So, I like to have some easy breakfasts on hand so that we never have to skip it even if we're low on time. Aside from these cookies, we keep these Healthy Egg Muffins in our freezer, as well as ingredients for our favorite Spinach Berry Smoothie so we are never out of breakfast ideas!

Our blueberry pancakes with blueberry syrup are delicious as well.

This breakfast cookies recipe makes a huge batch (about 5 dozen cookies) and they are perfect to keep in the freezer. Since they have a good amount of protein and fiber in them, they will keep you feeling full for quite a while after!

Too much Zucchini?

I am familiar with this problem! My mom used to always have tons of Zucchini growing in her garden in the late summer.

If you're looking for Zucchini recipes to use up some from your garden, you should also try this Lemon Zucchini Bread, Spiralized Greek Salad (light, fresh and tasty!) or make these amazing Zucchini Chips with Lemon Dill Aioli!
