Author Description

Growing up, I ate a steady diet for breakfast--of Pop Tarts. As a direct result, I still vividly remember how hungry I was just one hour later and how lunchtime could never come quickly enough. So as soon as my own children became school-aged, I started to obsess about their having a good breakfast.For years, I woke up extra early every single school morning to make the three of them a fresh breakfast of scrambled eggs and fresh fruit. They did not appreciate my martyrlike efforts, and we all grew tired of the whole charade. Ever since then, I've been on a mission to develop an arsenal of make-ahead breakfast ideas that will keep them going all morning long.Here are my criteria for a school day breakfast. It must have protein and fat, for fuel and satisfaction, and be relatively low in sugar or at least have plenty of whole grains to prevent that sugar crash. It also must taste good enough that they'll want to eat it. Not rocket science, but not as easy as it sounds.This collection of breakfast recipes is a culmination of years of developing recipes for my blog and my cookbooks, and my decade-long crusade to ensure that my children have no excuse but to do their personal best in school.Each of my 3 children, with each of their different tastes and preferences, will eat and enjoy every single one of these 20 gluten free breakfast goodies.Each recipe in this book also tastes great fresh out of the oven, for those weekend days when you're feeling extra generous. I wish you hungry, generous eaters and your family's eternal gratitude!
