Another Healthy and Interesting Breakfast

If you've ever gotten bored or tired of regular eggs and toast, then this is the breakfast for you!! I know that during the summer when I'm waking up to the same thing, I no longer look forward to that delicious meal. So one day, I was watching some YouTube videos and I saw in a morning routine that someone had combined your ordinary toast with an egg. Soon enough I was making this super easy breakfast and actually looking forward to getting up and making it. Down below, I have listed the simple "recipe" and the benefits to this meal.

The reason being that although fruits may be healthier than sweet unnatural desserts, but they still have lots of sugar in them. What my family has always substituted for these desserts are pumpkin muffins. Now these may not seem extremely healthy, but they are much better than extremely sugary desserts. Down below is the pumpkin muffins recipe. Hope you enjoy them!! The Recipe: ...
