I decided today that I needed to share some of the best healthy breakfast recipes that I have tried over the last year or so. I am passionate about eating a healthy breakfast. I think I am part Hobbit because I would happily eat second breakfast every day if I could. Sometimes we eat breakfast for dinner and those are always well received by the kids.
