Chicken Sausage Breakfast Patties {gluten-free, breakfast}

I struggle with breakfast most days. My hubby typically makes breakfast for the kids or helps them make their own before he leaves for work. Awesome, I know! I'm usually just grabbing whatever is leftover, some cereal or a Greek yogurt. These sausage patties are an easy go-to and they are high in protein and big on flavor. Because you make them yourself and can control what's in them, they are a healthier alternative to store-bought patties. Make a big batch and freeze them. Click here for my recipe.

School Lunch Inspiration {Re-post}

     Some of you may already have started back to school but school starts next week for us and I'm having mixed emotions. I love summer. The warmth (especially appreciate this now that we live in a snowy winter climate), fun, laid back routines, lazy mornings, lazy afternoons, swimming, exploring, flip flops, shorts, evening walks by the lake, late night sunsets, lots of time with friends and lots of time with my boys... While I'm excited for them to start back to school, I'm dragging my feet a bit during these last days of summer.
   
     I've had several people ask me about school lunches so I thought this was a perfect time to repost these ideas. I wrote this back when we had just moved cross-country and were homeschooling. Here's to another new season! Let's start strong with our lunch game mamas and dads and make it great! I'll be a little more intentional with my grocery run this weekend as I meal plan for lunches and Our Weekly Menu. Planning ahead feels like more work up front but it REALLY pays off. Click over to see my kid-friendly lunch ideas and please share your lunch secrets! I'm always looking for new ideas too! Happy start of school friends. ...click here for the recipe!
