30 Days of Primal Breakfast

Good morning, it is time to rise and shine. No better to start the day than with breakfast. Well, I guess it depends on what you are eating too. As a child, I would stumble down the stairs and pour a huge bowl of sugar laced cereal or pop a tart into the toaster. As an adult, I would usually just have coffee until 11 or 12 until I got something just as quick and bad for you.


Not anymore. Now I eat real food that makes me satisfied during the day. Breakfast can be a hard thing to make, especially when you already have that first cup of coffee. Coffee fills your tummy and tell you it is not hungry, so wait to have your morning joe with breakfast.  



Here are a month of ideas to get you started.



  1. Omlets stuffed with
    • tomatoes
    • mushrooms
