Quick Breakfast
As a young mom who breastfeeds, it's so important to eat well (or well enough) throughout the day. Breakfast is hard when you're not a morning person, so here's what I do for quick and easy!
I had one of these every day for the second half of my pregnancy. My baby was growth restricted and this was recommended by a doctor because of the low sugar/high protein combo. I still drink them when I need a quick breakfast or snack! If you have i...
Core Power Elite Vanilla Protein Shake 14oz 12pk
These bars are such an easy snack or breakfast! Great for on-the-go or when you don't feel like cooking. They have a decent amount of sugar and may not be super filling; but for someone like me who likes sweets and is not a big "breakfast person", th...
Vanilla Blueberry
I have struggled for years to make pancakes from scratch with no success. These are a recent find and I love them! Fluffy, easy to make, and the perfect amount of sweet.
Gluten Free Buttermilk Pancake Mix
Soo yummy and actually healthy! This kind reminds me of the chocolate chip teddy grams I used to eat as a kid.
Purely Elizabeth Cookie Granola Choc Chip 11 OZ
Another favorite flavor from Purely Elizabeth! It isn't overly chocolate and has the perfect balance of feeling like a treat while not making you feel bad.

Essentials For The Fellow Coffee Snob
I drink coffee for taste and enjoyment, not just caffeine. I don't love overly sweet or very milky. If it's weak, I don't want it!
This is one of my favorite espresso pods! Delicious, not too heavy, and great as a hot vanilla latte.
Altissio | Arabica and Robusta Creamy Espresso
I looovvee this espresso! Currently using it to make brown sugar shaken espresso lattes and it is hitting the spot in this summer heat! (and I think it tastes best with oat milk)
Diavolitto | Powerful Espresso
This is one of the best syrups, and it's used in a lot of the coffee shops in the Jacksonville area! I like that the vanilla doesn't overpower the coffee and is just the right amount of sweet.
Torani Vanilla Coffee Syrup with Pump 25.4oz
Ready, Set, Bake!
Baking is hard when you're gluten free because a lot of things fall apart. I don't bake often, but when I do, these are products I know I can trust.
This is one of my favorite gluten free flours! I like using it for bread, muffins, and thickening sauces in recipes. For someone who doesn't use flour very often, I think it's a great price for the quantity!
King Arthur Measure for Measure Gluten-Free Flour 3 lbs
I'm obsessed with these biscuits! They are super easy to make (just add water and cheese if desired) and the butter seasoning is addicting.
Gluten-Free Cheddar Bay Biscuit® Mix
This is one of my favorite muffin mixes! They are fairly dense, but I kind of like that in a muffin. Sometimes I sub out the blueberries for chocolate chips which makes them even better!
Krusteaz Gluten Free Blueberry Muffin Mix, Includes Can of Blueberries, 15.7 oz Box
Easy Sides
Some nights you just want to eat salsa and chips for dinner and call it a day. Here are a few things I recommend for easy meals.
Listen.. don't knock it til you try it! Probably not the healthiest option, but soooo helpful when you're a young mom just tryin to fuel yourself quickly.
Original Mashed Potatoes 13.75oz
This Mac n cheese brings me back to my childhood! I love the single serving cups for snack or a dinner side. (It is somewhat expensive, so I buy the cups when they're BOGO at Publix!)

Healthy-ish Alternatives
This pasta was especially helpful while pregnant because of the protein! I love the texture, that it's filling, and can be used for so many different meals. Highly recommend buying from Costco because it's much cheaper!
