Whoever said omelets were only a breakfast food clearly didn't know what they were talking about. I think an omelet is good at any time of the day. And this Greek omelet is so full of flavor that it will satisfy your next craving for something satisfyingly savory, salty, and delicious.
Omelets can be tricky - the whole folding thing takes practice. First off, make sure you're using enough eggs. This recipe calls for three.
Once your pan is preheated and the olive oil has become shiny, pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Using a spatula, lift the edges of the eggs gently and let the liquid flow underneath. Continue this process until ...

Sweet Potato Waffle Hash Browns
What's better than a waffle? You might say "nothing!", but I think this recipe might be. These sweet potato waffle hashed browns are everything that's great about breakfast. It's yummy, filling, sweet AND savory. Top it with an egg and it's got a healthy punch of protein.
Sunday mornings are my favorite time of the week. At my house (or, should I say tiny apartment...), it's the only day of the week that I don't have to be anywhere. That means, I can wake up without an alarm. (Worth noting that I'm still up by 7:30 AM, but hey, it's fine...) Mornings on Sunday are slow. There's a lot of in-bed lounging. There's no rush.
That also ...

Southwest Turkey Hash
What's better than starting your day with a something hearty and delicious? This Southwest turkey hash is just that. And eating a serving of this will kick your day off with an impressive amount of protein.
Hashes, like this one, are great when you need something satisfying but you have a bunch of seemingly random ingredients. Have some veggies in your fridge that you need to use asap? Make a hash. Have a few potatoes that are nearing their end date? Make a hash. Add in some protein and spices, throw some eggs on top and you've got yourself an impressive, and simple, meal.
With chili powder, oregano, and cumin, this hash is built ...

Almond Butter Banana Sweet Potato Toast
Have you hit a breakfast rut? Do you eat the same thing over and over again because you've just run out of ideas. Or changing up your routine requires too much thought or effort? Are you sick and tired of eggs and bacon? If any of this resonates with you, then this almond butter banana sweet potato toast might just be the answer to your problems.
We already know that sweet potato is a bomb replacement for traditional French fries. Sweet potato noodles (using a spiralizer) are also delicious. (Don't believe me? Try this recipe from Love and Lemons.) But those orange starchy tubers also make a great replacement for a non-paleo morning ...

Carrot Cake Bites
These paleo-friendly carrot cake bites are the perfect breakfast on the go or healthy snack option when you've got a little sweet tooth to satisfy.
The best part about this recipe, in my humble opinion, is that it requires no cooking. There's no need for your stove or oven - all you really need is a food processor and a refrigerator.
These little carrot cake guys clock it at 98 calories/ball. The macros are pretty modest too - 8g fat, 7g carb, 2 g protein. Not bad at all. Not to mention these taste amazing - especially if you're a fan of carrot cake. Which I most definitely am. Yummm.
First things first - make sure you have all ...

Taco Scramble
TACO TUESDAY - but make it breakfast.
This taco scramble does just that. It turns your favorite Mexican food in to a breakfast dish (or lunch or dinner...no judgement) sans tortilla and chips.
With eggs and ground beef, this scramble is loaded down with protein. Protein is great for keeping you full and satiated as well as helping you build muscle.
It's important to make sure you're eating enough protein every day, and this recipe will help you hit your goal.
The great thing about tacos is that you can top them with all your favorite things. This scramble is no different. Personally, I like diced tomatoes, cilantro, ...

Baked Apples
These paleo-friendly baked apples are the perfect dessert as we move towards fall. Once apple season strikes, you'll be craving these in your dessert rotation.
The great thing about this recipe is that it utilizes minimal ingredients. That's one part of paleo I really try to hammer home because I know how frustrating it can be to be excited about a recipe only to realize you have to go to the store and buy 50 new ingredients that you don't regularly keep stocked in your pantry.
It's why I created Ultimate Meal Plans. One of the cornerstones of my meal plans service is that every recipe you get takes 5 ingredients or less and comes ...

Berry Chia Smoothie Bowl
If I'm being honest with you, I'm not a huge fan of smoothies. But when the hot days of summer roll around, I like to whip one up every now and then. And this smoothie bowl is usually my go to.
Summer is the absolute best time to take advantage of the deliciousness of berries. They are in season and abundant and they taste better than ever. If you are able, try to hit up a berry patch and pick them until your heart is content. Then you can freeze them and they'll be available for you to use in your smoothies for months to come.
This recipe calls for frozen berries, but if you have berries in your fridge that you need to use up, those ...

Cinnamon Honey Paleo Granola
Your granola days aren't over! In fact, they might just be getting started with this cinnamon honey paleo granola.
This recipe has my mouth watering just thinking of it. The traditional granolas most people think of are definitely not considered paleo with additions such as oats and sugar.
This one eliminates both of those things - using nuts such as pecans, walnuts, almonds, sesame seeds, coconut oil, and honey. The cinnamon is a deliciously spicy complement to all of these things.
How this works - you're going to mix all of your "dry" ingredients (minus the raisins) in a big bowl. Give it a good toss to make sure everything is ...

Savory Keto Breakfast Muffins
Muffins are a classic breakfast food. But once you go keto, you may be afraid that muffins are off the table (and, unfortunately, out of your mouth.) Traditional, sugar-laden muffins may be, yes, but not these savory ones we've got for you today.
There's no rule that says that muffins HAVE to be sweet. Yes, a fresh, warm blueberry muffin is a wonderful thing, but there are many different ways to spice up the delicious muffin.
(Need a great recipe for a paleo version of blueberry muffins? We've got you.)
But even those paleo blueberry muffins aren't exactly keto-friendly. So we wanted to give all of our keto friends an option for a ...
