Whole30 Breakfast Recipes!

I didn't check in last week--- BUT I'm on day 28/30 of WHOLE30!! I can't even believe it myself!!  I feel AMAZING.. I haven't cheated AT ALL!!  AND.. I've been surrounded by all sorts of temptation.. which is even more surprising to me... I'm talking... like GOURMET donuts, cookies, brownies, subs, homemade meatballs, pizza, ice cream, just EVERYTHING... Even some real-simple-things that I simply couldn't have.. like spaghetti squash that I had to grab before the butter when on it!!  THIS can be SO tricky!! BUT... I did it! :)

I think that setting myself up with a GOOD breakfast DID it for me .... and reminds me that THIS is NOT a "DIET.."

I've came across quite a few amazing recipes along the way... either some that I've found in the Whole30 book, the Whole30 cookbook, online, or some I've just simply created on my own.. I LOVE how versatile some of these recipes can be.. and how flavorful everything is!

Here are some of my favorite breakfast recipes:
