There are three things we require for a breakfast recipe to make it into our regular weekday rotation around here: First, it must be easy, because our mornings tend to be a little on the crazy side. Second, it has to be healthy, because when you're running a small business and chasing after a small human, you need energy that lasts. And third, if we're starting our day with it, it needs to be delicious.
