After reading an earlier post I thought I'd start a thread so we can all get a variety of great things to eat for breakfast.

To feel satisfied until your morning snack or lunch, be sure to have a combination of protein, carbs, healthy fats, and a few "free" foods. I'm going through "Skinny Chicks Don't Eat Salads" right now and it had A LOT of super delish things to eat for breakfast. Feel free to take a gander at my food diary.

When posting please include the following:
- recipe name
- ingredient amounts
- brief directions
- serving size
- nutritional content (if available)
- source (recipe book name, website, original concoction)
