I am NOT by any means a morning person, yet my job drags me out of bed at 5:00 AM, ok, maybe 5:30 after snoozing as long as possible, but one thing I do enjoy about the morning is my breakfast! I like to eat right away, but most days I end up eating a little later than I like, nonetheless, I thought I'd share a couple quick, some easy, some a little more intricate breakfast ideas that I cycle through during the week, fresh from the brown paper bag!
COLD CEREAL - This is perfect for on the go folks, 7 Reasons by President's Choice or even the delicious line of Ezekiel Cereals are all #ChallengeFriendly, add some fresh fruit for sweet, and some unsweetened vanilla almond milk and you have a perfect on the go, delicious breakfast! OMELETTE - This was a breakfast in bed surprise, yet was made totally #ChallengeFriendly with two eggs, Sautéed Peppers & Onions, and topped with Salsa & Goat's Cheese, not to mention served with two delicious slices of my favourite #ChallengeFriendly bread! MORNING OATS - These are a staple in my meal prep routine, you can make these ahead and have a week's worth ready to go. All I do is prepare Steel Cut Oats by the package directions & add in #ChallengeFriendly unsweetened greek yogurt and some fresh berries or raw nuts and you can eat this on the go! OATMEAL - Shoutout to my girl Caitlin for sharing this delicious #ChallengeFriendly find, Qia sells a couple different flavours of hot cereal, but this one is my favourite, Boil some water in the kettle, add to bowl with one package of Cinnamon Pumpkin Seed, 1 tbsp of almond milk, 1 tsp of stevia in the raw and you have a warm breaky for those brisker mornings! BREAKFAST PITA - This is a favourite of mine, and isn't limited to just breakfast, I enjoy this as a snack during any time of the day. Warm a #ChallengeFriendly Whole Wheat Pita in the microwave for 20 seconds, then add a tbsp of Apple Butter, a few apple slices and a tsp of unsweetened shredded coconut and you can taste the fall season! Simple and Delicious! I hope you found these to be helpful, and if you have any other suggestions or creations of your own to share, Please let me know! ENJOY, Wishing you all happy mornings!

Check out the full recipe and ingredients below for #ChallengeFriendly Spaghetti Squash Chicken Parmesan!, fresh from the brown paper bag! Spaghetti Squash Chicken Parmesan Ingredients: ***You will need a half of a spaghetti squash per serving, so I was making four servings, therefore I purchased TWO whole spaghetti squash, if you need more, just adjust accordingly. - 1 jar of CLASSICO Tomato Basil Tomato Sauce - 2 Uncooked Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast - 2 tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Coconut Oil - 4 tbsp of Crumbled Goat's Cheese or Goat's Mozzarella - 2 whole eggs - 1/4 cup of #ChallengeFriendly Breadcrumbs (TIP: Toast a couple slices of your favourite #ChallengeFriendly bread and throw in the food processor with some garlic powder, oregano, parsley and salt & pepper for quick grab and go bread crumbs) - Salt and Pepper to taste - Parsley to top Recipe: 1 - Preheat oven to 375 F 2 - Place each Whole Spaghetti Squash into microwave for 2-3 minutes to soften 3 - Carefully cut squash in half with a knife 4 - Scoop out and discard insides along with seeds 5 - Brush inside of each squash lightly with oil and sprinkle salt and pepper 6 - Flip over (inside facing down) and cook in oven for 40 minutes 7 - Crack two eggs and whip together in medium sized bowl 8 - In a separate bowl, place breadcrumbs 9 - Dip chicken breast into egg and then into breadcrumb, place on cookie sheet or glass pan lined with foil and lightly sprayed with cooking spray 10 - Bake chicken for 35-40 minutes in oven with squash 11 - Once chicken is cooked, allow to cool slightly and slice into strips, Don't turn off the oven! 12 - Once squash is cooked, remove from oven, turn over using tongs or spatula and with a fork, shred the insides until they look like spaghetti, be sure to leave enough to maintain the shape of the squash as you will use this as your serving dish 13 - Pour a 1/2 cup of CLASSICO into each squash and top with chicken, sprinkle 1 tbsp of goat's cheese per squash and top lightly with a tbsp or two of CLASSICO 14 - Set oven to Broil and place back into oven until cheese begins to melt 15 - Remove from oven, finish with some parsley and ENJOY!
