Happy New Year! As we ease into the new year, it’s natural to desire a new routine and discover new foods. Though we say this, sometimes it’s hard to plan ahead and make time for new recipes that are tasty and accessible. That being said, it doesn’t have to be difficult to create delicious and easy grab and go meals that can last for the entire week! Breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day, yet so many people run out of time in the mornings to fill their stomachs and keep them satisfied and fueled. With a bit of prep, breakfast can be a new year’s priority, easily!
Here are a few easy and delicious breakfast meals. These require very little prep time and are a time saver during your busy morning!
Baked Steak and Egg Cups. This easy breakfast takes as little as forty minutes to prepare and bake and can last the entire week! Substitute the spinach and mushrooms for any veggie of your liking and feel free to add cheese to this breakfast dish. Grab and warm up these egg bites quickly in the morning for a fast and filling breakfast!
Breakfast Enchiladas. A unique twist to a grab-and-go breakfast that is as easy as it is delicious to make. Full of fluffy eggs, fresh and delicious cilantro and the wonderful taste of enchilada sauce, this dish takes no longer than thirty minutes to prepare and cook and is perfect to quickly warm-up on the go. Add your desired meat to these enchiladas too!
Mini Banana Oatmeal Muffins. If you’re someone who requires something sweet, instead of savory, in the morning, mini muffins are the choice for you! These tasty treats require about forty minutes of prep and baking time and can last for two days if stored properly!

Boasting About Blueberries
It’s always blueberry season. Production in North and South America make blueberries an option all year round. Here in the U.S., they are grown coast to coast, with blueberry farms functioning in 38 states. However, more than 98% of blueberry production in the U.S. happens in just 10 states, Oregon, Washington, Georgia, Michigan, California, New Jersey, North Carolina, Florida, Texas, and Minnesota. Let’s celebrate this year-round superstar by highlighting some of our favorite recipes!
Blueberry-Mango Crisp: Blueberry teams up with mango to make this delicious crisp a must-try.
Blueberry French Toast Bake: Waking up and enjoying some French toast in the morning is a great way to start the day. Take your recipe to the next level by adding blueberries.
Blueberry-Banana Chia Seed Muffins: In this tasty muffin recipe, blueberry and banana flavors work in perfect harmony.
Zabaglione with Fresh Berries: Zabaglione is an Italian dessert made with egg yolks, sugar, and sweet wine. Blueberries, along with raspberries and strawberries, make great additions to the dish.
Grilled Fruit Pizza: Tired of your same old pizza order? Try this Grilled Fruit Pizza featuring cream cheese, pecan pieces, honey, and an array of tasty fruits, blueberries included.
Four-Berry Hazelnut Crisp: Another cozy crisp for the cold winter months. This Four-Berry Hazelnut Crisp does the trick every time.
Whole Wheat Blueberry-Nut Pancakes: Much like French toast, blueberries elevate breakfast when they are added to pancakes. In this recipe, the blueberry-nut addition is excellent.
Granola Bites: This Granola Bites recipe is a tasty snack for any occasion. In this case, dried blueberries make for a great ingredient.
Homemade Vanilla Pudding with Berries: Lastly, add some berries to your homemade vanilla pudding with this recipe. You’ll be surprised how delightful it turns out.
