Gluten-Free Breakast Ideas

Gluten-Free Recipe Ideas:

Like I said in my weight loss post, I stopped eating gluten this past year. A lot of people showed interest in seeing what I eat so I am going to roll out every meal for you! We will start with my favorite Gluten Free Breakfast Ideas so you can see what I have in my rotation.

In the past year, I changed my eating times. I used to have breakfast between 7-9AM and now I opt for a late breakfast somewhere between 10-11AM. I make a big breakfast so that I am full until around 2/3PM and then I have some type of snack or small lunch. My breakfasts are usually a heavier meal and I like it that way. Working from home makes it easier to eat later. I am grateful for that.

To recap I eat:

potatoes
corn tortillas
rice (not a lot, I’m not a big rice fan)

I don’t eat bread

Let’s talk about Trader Joe’s hash browns for a second. These things have saved my life. I FREAKING LOVE THEM.

One of the things I am working on with my relationship with food is abandoning the idea that certain foods are BAD. There has been a lot of judgment in my family growing up over potatoes. You are a holy person if you sacrifice potatoes on your plate at a restaurant for greens. For many many years, I was convinced that potatoes were bad. Then I did Whole 30 and I learned that my body likes potatoes and they’re only an issue for me if I have them in addition to bread and ALL THE BAKED GOODS.
