I am so proud to be partnering with Horizon on this post. Thank you for supporting the brands that make Wine & Glue possible. Can I tell you guys some of the best news ever . . . . my oldest guy is doing great at his new school. I had been so nervous and so worried. I think switching schools when you are 8 is kind of a big deal. I was worried that he wouldn’t find friends, especially because he is very comfortable spending time on his own. I mean . . . on the first day of school we were holding our breaths.
But just like that he made friends! Like lots of friends. And he comes home from school grinning with stories about them and what they did at recess.
And just like that my mommy heart is bursting with love for this kiddo who so seamlessly found his place even though he was all worried. Even though we were worried. The night before the first day of school I took a sharpie to a rock I found (kiddo loves rocks) and wrote on it: YOU’VE GOT THIS. So that all day at school he could feel it in his pocket and hear me in his head cheering him on . . . because we should all have that, right? Our mom’s voice in our heads cheering us on when we are worried or struggling . . . I know I do. And he did. He totally had it.
Whew. So with that one worry out of the way, we can talk about feeding these monsters. Guys, my kids eat so much. And I’m struggling to keep up with dinner and breakfast ideas. Sooooo . . . . my hope is that this Breakfast Braid will work for ya’ll for both. It is EASY to throw together. You preheat your oven, whisk up some eggs, and then toss in some Horizon Whole Milk and some Horizon White Cheddar. You guys, the Horizon White Cheddar has the best flavor. Piper will eat it shredded by the bowlful . . . I mean, she did while I was taking these photos. And it melts into the eggs so perfectly. It is definitely my new favorite Horizon product. YUMMY! Then you just toss some veggies into the frying pan, add the eggs, and braid them up. The prep on this meal is about 10 minutes and then the baking time is about 20. So you are looking at a 30 minute meal. This would work for my family on school mornings, but if it is too much time for yours, serve it up for a weekend brunch or an easy weeknight meal!
And it’s easy to change up! You can throw in some breakfast sausages, or switch out the veggies for different ones. I used a premade refrigerated crescent roll dough, but if you don’t dig that, you could always use a homemade pizza dough. Though I will throw out there that there are a couple different refrigerated doughs on the market that organic and worth checking out. It’s such a time saver!
