Food in AM

Butternut Squash Breakfast Hash

Posted on April 24, 2021 by - Health Blog

You may have noticed a recent trend with my recipe posts… lots of breakfast recipes. It’s because I LOVE breakfast and brunch food! When I still lived downtown Chicago, “brunching” was a weekly occurrence pretty much every weekend. Friends, family, coworkers, and I hit up all kinds of place around town. We’d usually not only get the wristband that allowed us open all to the entire buffet spread, but we tended to purchase the bottomless mimosas too… after awhile it gets pricey. Plus, now I have a toddler. Now, instead of going out for brunch or breakfast every weekend, I  experiment with different recipes at home. Not only has this cut costs, but it also has been much friendlier on my waistline.
