Don't let the "whole wheat" scare you -- these are actually delicious. I took my favourite fluffy pancake recipe, and modified them to have less sugar and more fibre. The result was shockingly delicious. We've been making these on repeat, and storing a big batch in the freezer (they reheat well in the toaster).

BLUEBERRY BAKED OATMEAL
We’ve been making this baked oatmeal a lot lately. It’s warm, hearty and perfectly sweet from the berries. It also lasts a few days and reheats well...all things that I’m quickly learning are essential for new parents.

ALMOND AND APPLE PORRIDGE
What started as an easy breakfast while introducing E to allergens and solids, has turned into one of his morning favourites. It also happens to be one of my favourites, as it’s ridiculously easy to prepare and freezes well - major wins for busy parents.

BITE SIZE SNACKS
We're welcoming a little one in a few months, and in anticipation, I've been stockpiling a list of relatively easy to make snacks. They have been a lifesaver during pregnancy (so hungry all the time), and I imagine they will come in equally handy in the early days of mother-hood (eaten one-handed and easily prepped in advance).

BASIC OVERNIGHT OATS
There are a lot of recipes out there for overnight oats, and some are way more involved and ingredient heavy than others. For us, the beauty of overnight oats is their simplicity -- toss a limited number of ingredients together the night before, and have breakfast at the ready when you wake up. We've started to be more efficient in the kitchen, really trying to limit how much time we spend there. I love cooking, but when you're on duty 3 meals a day, 7 days a week, sometimes the shortcuts can be nice.

SOURDOUGH DISCARD CARROT MUFFINS
It's now been 13 months of working from home, and though there are a lot of things about this new normal that we still can't get used to, having more relaxed weekday mornings has been a really lovely benefit. With that comes the desire for breakfast dessert, and though I'd happily bake scones or cakes weekly, I was in need of something a little healthier. These muffins have minimal sugar so definitely feel perfectly appropriate for breakfast, and are a great way to use up leftover starter.

SUNFLOWER SEED 'TZATZIKI' SANDWICHES
As we round out one year of COVID, one year of the meal plan, and one year of working from home, I'm reminded how much this space, and food in general, has been a life line these past 12 months. Watching the time pass as our meals, and cooking style, shifted through the seasons. Spring 2021 has sprung, and with that comes a slow shift back to simple, veggie packed meals.
This sandwich has become a house favourite since we first discovered a version of it on Jesse's original blog several years ago. I'm always looking for unique ways to devour the fresh loaves of sourdough we have on the go, and this definitely hits the craving.
