Some of the best breakfasts that I’ve had are the ones when I let ingredients in my fridge inspire me—like the goodness in this bowl right here. All I knew was I wanted nourishing fresh veggies for breakfast. What I found was Brussels Sprouts, which are always a win, crunchy cauliflower, bright beautiful orange bell peppers, and fresh white onions. Everything about this bowl is simple and delicious—nothing complex or over-complicated.
There are things that can happen in our workday that aren’t so simple, so start the day off right by creating enjoyable moments before leaving the house. A couple of thing I do to start my day off right is reading the Word and eating a great breakfast—things like that. You’ll be surprised at how those moments prepare you for a successful day ahead.
Try the recipe and let me know in the comments below how you create enjoyable moments before leaving your home for a powerful day.
