Sometimes I just struggle to find new, tasty ideas for breakfast. Do you have the same problem?
I grew up on cold cereal, and still love it for Sunday night snacking. Well, any night would work for me, actually. But over time I have let go of my cereal tradition in lieu of more healthy options like oatmeal or smoothies. Once in a while it’s eggs and bacon, but that usually ends up being an early lunch after an hour of yoga followed by an hour of Body Pump.
This fried rice recipe really turned out to be quite delicious. Thank you to Sara at Our Best Bites, who was the source for this recipe.
