Fast and Easy Brunches for Busy Moms
So everyone's lives are so hectic right now, right?
Kid 1 is e-learning.
Kid 2 has joined the circus.
Kid 3 goes to school every other week on Tuesday's and Thursday's only, except for the 3rd week of the month when everything is digital.
You're working from home, managing your home, cleaning your home, teaching your kids... all while you’re expected to look like a human being.
Girl. Let's just stop right here.
I know how easy it is to let diet, exercise, beauty, and everything else fall to the wayside. I get it. I’ve done that.
But I am all about giving you fast and easy tips that work for me for all of these scenarios. (Well not for exercise - I'm still trying to find my groove for that. I have my eye on a peloton! What are you doing for a workout?)
Let’s talk breakfast/brunch (I try not to eat until 11am-12pm.)
FAST AND EASY FOOD
In the morning I have coffee with a tablespoon of vanilla nutpod, a few drops of a stevia, and a sprinkle of my favorite -- Flavor God Buttery Cinnamon topper.
Until then I'm typically drinking lemon water.
Here are some of my fave go-to easy and healthy brunch/lunch options.
TUNA WRAPS
Ingredients
Wild Planet Albacore Tuna - 1 Can
Onion - 1/4 diced
Celery - 1/2 stalk diced
Mayo - 1-2 Tablespoons
Salt and Pepper (I love the blend from Flavor God)
(And anything else you want for your tuna.)
Siete Cassava Tortillas
Cheese (if you can eat dairy) - a sprinkle
Spinach - half a cup
Tomato - 1/4 cup diced
Lemon - cut into quarters and then squeeze 1/4 over top
Instructions
Drain your tuna
Sprinkle lemon juice on top
Dice your celery and onion
Mix tuna, celery, onion, and mayonnaise
Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Keep tasting as you go. You do not want it to be too salty. I personally love the Flavor God salt and pepper mix.
Set tuna to the side.
Take your cassava flour tortillas and toast them in a convection oven for a minute.
Place the tuna on it nicely down the center
Sprinkle cheese of your choice. I personally love sharp cheddar.
Put it back in the toaster for 2-3 minutes.
Once the cheese has melted, take it out and sprinkle your tomatoes and spinach on top.
Other great topping options include avocado, cilantro, microgreens, herbs, etc. What do you like to top your tuna sandwiches with?
Voila! You are done!
This recipe yields 4 wraps. Double the recipe as called.
VEGGIE EGG SCRAMBLE
Ingredients
1 jalapeno
10 cherry tomatoes or a small plum tomato
1/2 onion
handful of spinach
1 red pepper
1 orange pepper
Shredded cheese of your choice. I am a sharp cheddar fan.
4 eggs
Salt and pepper
Instructions
Dice your veggies
Mix all the veggies together with the exception of spinach
Crack and beat your eggs in a separate bowl
Spray your pan with avocado oil (sub with butter, coconut oil, or the oil of your choice)
Turn heat to medium
Let it heat for a minute or two
Throw in your diced veggies with the exception of spinach
Sauté for 5-6 minutes
Add eggs
When your eggs are starting to solidify add in the chopped spinach
Once eggs are cooked, throw cheese on top and cover.
