The Breakfast Base

There is one key to my personal sanity through the work week, and that’s making sure that I’ve got some food packed to take with me for when I get the morning hunger. I’ve never been a huge breakfast person when I first wake up. I prefer a slow start to my day with coffee,…

Fueling Up: Greens, Eggs + Sweet Potato Noodles
