Easy Mornings

I've been back at work now for only three weeks and boy has it been a challenge! It feels like forever ago I was in a nightmare on bed rest in the hospital. Since returning to work I've realized that I needed to come up with a better solution for breakfast. I can no longer exhaust my checking account on the unhealthy drive thru options. Here are some easy recipes you can prepare a head of time to make your mornings go by a little smoother!
