Blueberry Breakfast Wraps (Low carb and Grain Free)

Karen Sorenson — Fri, 05 Sep 2014 09:30:11 +0000

When it’s blueberry season I like add some fresh blueberries to my breakfast. I came across these Cream Cheese Pancakes from my friend Mellissa from I Breathe…I’m Hungry and I knew I could tweak the recipe a little bit to incorporate the blueberries and create a portable breakfast option. I like to fill the wraps with things like breakfast sausage (I like the sweet and savory combo) or some lightly sweetened whipped cream. There are all kinds of possibilities with these wraps. Enjoy your breakfast!

Paleo Strawberry Shortcake Waffles (Low Carb)

Karen Sorenson — Wed, 16 Jul 2014 09:30:05 +0000

I wanted to make an easy breakfast recipe using the fresh summer berries from my CSA so I decided to switch out the Pumpkin in my Pumpkin Waffles with strawberries. It worked great! The Strawberry Shortcake Waffles make a great breakfast or an easy, no bake summer dessert. I topped the waffles with whipped coconut cream (lightly sweetened) and chopped strawberries. Whipped heavy cream (lightly sweetened) would also work great as a topping if you eat dairy.

It ended up making about 5 large waffles. I didn’t try freezing the leftovers (I didn’t have any), but I’m sure it would work great. Just toast in the toaster to defrost/reheat.

Cinnamon “Rice” Breakfast Pudding

Karen Sorenson — Thu, 01 May 2014 05:00:28 +0000

Grain Free Cinnamon “Rice” Breakfast Pudding

I’ve talked a lot about how I don’t eat eggs for breakfast and it’s not because I don’t think eggs are a superfood with lots of nutritional value. It’s simply because 1) I hate the taste of eggs…no matter how many different ways I’ve tried them 2) I think my dislike of the taste of eggs stems from always having a bit of a stomach ache every time I eat eggs. I’ve never had a major reaction to eggs like hives or a rash…I’ve just always felt “off” after eating eggs especially when it’s the main ingredient. So naturally I’ve had to get creative in the breakfast department when I went low carb and then paleo. Normally my go to breakfast is meat and veggies, but every once in awhile I like some different. This Cinnamon “Rice” Breakfast Pudding was perfect for breakfast and a great way to start the day, and is easy for me to prepare since I found the best rice cooker to prepare this type of recipes.

P.S. If you’ve been struggling with breakfast ideas that don’t include eggs check out my ebook, Awaken (you can see it here). Lots of different ideas!

Bacon and Spinach Egg Waffle–Breakfast on the Go!

Karen Sorenson — Fri, 11 Apr 2014 09:30:37 +0000

I personally don’t eat eggs for breakfast, but I get lots of requests from blog followers for easy low carb and paleo breakfast options. When I ran across an article about different things that can be cooked in a waffle iron I was surprised to see eggs on the list. Low carb/paleo folks typically eat lots of eggs so naturally I had to try out this crazy method for cooking eggs and put my own spin on it of course.

So you might be wondering why bother with cooking eggs in a waffle iron when a pan works just fine. The good thing about the waffle iron method is that you don’t have to constantly be watching over the eggs (stirring, flipping, etc). You can just pour the eggs in and come back in 3-4 minutes to a perfectly cooked egg and if you leave it in there a little longer it will get darker, but not really burn (yes it’s possible to burn…don’t leave it in there all day). Another bonus of this method is that your breakfast is on the go. You can grab the waffle(s) and head out the door on those busy mornings.

Also, it’s easy to customize your waffle just throw in whatever cooked meat, veggies (pre-cooked veggies may work better in most cases), cheese, etc. you prefer.

Grain Free Salted Caramel Mug Cakes

Karen Sorenson — Fri, 28 Mar 2014 09:30:41 +0000

I’m obsessed with desserts in a mug lately. Everything from Muffins in a Minute to cookies. Seriously, have you tried my Grain Free Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Minute? It’s fabulous! Today’s recipe also ties in a popular food trend of salted caramel. I’ve seen it all over the place…especially Pinterest so naturally I needed to create a grain free way to enjoy salted caramel. I ended up created grain free mug cakes. It’s ready in just minutes and it has all the flavors of salted caramel…with a lot less carbs.

Enjoy it right out of the mug with a spoon and topped with butter/ghee or homemade ice cream

Grain Free Instant “Brown Sugar” N’oatmeal

Karen Sorenson — Fri, 14 Feb 2014 09:30:38 +0000

Looking for a grain free instant oatmeal? My recipe for Instant Cinnamon “Oatmeal” is one of the most popular recipes on my site and for good reason…..it’s delicious! I ended up coming up with some other flavor combinations: 1) Raspberries and Cream “Oatmeal” which is in my ebook, Awaken (check it out here) and the recipe below for “Brown Sugar” N’oatmeal (Get it? No oats!). Back in my carb and grain eating days, oatmeal was always an easy breakfast when I was in a hurry so having a grain free instant “oatmeal” option is a really nice change of pace to my usual breakfast of meat and veggies. What I love about this recipe is that you can make the dry mix up ahead of time and just make servings as needed. I like to throw one serving of the dry mix into a mason jar and add some hot water when I get to work. What an easy breakfast! And the smell (and taste) transports me back to the days of eating a warm bowl of brown sugar oatmeal.

Paleo Pumpkin Waffles

bennrobin — Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:30:47 +0000

After awhile, every time I would make waffles in my previous waffle iron it would never bake evenly and would end up as a mushy mess. So for months I have been looking at all of these beautiful grain free waffle recipes on Pinterest and debating whether or not to buy a new Belgian Waffle Maker. Well, the other week I couldn’t take it any longer I just HAD to buy a new waffle iron. I knew my first waffle recipe was going to be a pumpkin one…what better way to enjoy the holiday season!

I ended up making one Pumpkin Waffle and it was a flop, but that didn’t discourage me. I went back to the drawing board and ended up with a perfect Paleo Pumpkin Waffle recipe. I’ll definitely be making these a lot more this holiday season. I also made a double batch so I could freeze the waffles. The next time I’m craving a waffle, I just have to throw the frozen waffles in a toaster and in no time I’ll have breakfast on the table.
