Forgot breakfast
Hey everyone
How is your Friday?? So glad everyone enjoyed our story about us becoming bakers and creating Twin Cakes Bakery. In cased you missed them you read them here, Part 1 and Part 2.
Don’t forget we announce the winner to our giveaway tomorrow...so get your comments in today!
We have been extremely busy here…non-stop in the kitchen getting all our Twin Cakes Valentine’s Day Orders in.
We even didn’t get to eat till after 1. Just been snacking on this and that in the morning…a random day of eats for us. But the weird thing is that we have been feeling good. By not eating too much in the morning has actually given us more energy…which sometimes is hard for us because we were raised you have to eat breakfast.
Well this maybe true but we are starting to realize for us not having a huge breakfast has been nice for our energy levels. It is hard not to eat right away in the morning, but as long as we are busy we do not even think about eating, sort of ; )
Do you have mornings were you do not eat much? How do you feel? What are your thoughts on eating breakfast or no breakfast?
Now do not get us wrong, we do eat something, just not a full blow meal! And this past week we have not been eating till around 10 am. We are playing around with our morning eats, which means we have been having later workouts. We will keep you posted, but in the mean time check out Gena’s great tips for breakfast. I could go for some of those green eggs!!!
Anyways here are some food we have been eating these past few days
Kraut Salad drizzled with tahini
Avocado pudding drizzled with yacon
roasted butternut squash & brussel sprouts, with fermented veggies and some white stuff, aka coconut oil ; )
Coconut kefir pudding with coconut oil, hemp protein and yacon
pure2raw cracker wtih tahini (that we blended with cashews and maple)...sweet and savory!!
pure2raw cheez cracker dipped into cashew tahini maple spread...it was uniquely good!!
And we may or may not of had some of these
Twin Cakes gluten-free vegan strawberry vanilla cupcakes
Twin Cakes gluten-free vegan chocolate strawberry filled cupcakes
Some days I just love my job!!! ; ) Being a baker has it’s highlights but also sometimes too much temptation!
Okay well we still have a long night in the kitchen for our farmers market tomorrow!
Two great things to check out tonight:
Our guest post on our friend’s Robyn blog. We share our tips on being raw while having a busy schedule and running our bakery!
And the amazing Debbie is having a giveaway!
Have a great night!
Till next time,
Michelle

Your strawberry vanilla cupcakes look so pretty
And that kale salad looks delicious I just had a similar one for dinner. I used to never eat breakfast, but now I cant stand not having my green smoothie.

Oh my goodness – those cupcakes are making my mouth water.
I love your flatbreads and crackers. I spread avocado all over the kale ‘n’ onion flatbread and it was amazing.
I wish I lived near your bakery!
As for the breakfast question: I feel the same way. If I really listen to myself, I’m never truly hungry in the morning. But I always feel like I must have something to start off the day well. Plus, after class begins I don’t have a chance to eat until between 1 and 3 pm so I feel like I “have” to load up on food in the morning so I don’t get too hungry later on….
I should try doing more juice-based breakfasts…that will be a good way to “transition” into starting my day and into more heavy foods, I think.

I’m so behind on reading other people’s blogs. I can’t believe I missed out on your contest. I would’ve loved a chance to win some treats to review on my site. Yum! Congrats to whoever wins.
I enjoyed reading about your baking story, especially the parts about your mom sewing aprons, making signs, etc. She reminds me of my own mom.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

All your food looks so yummy, especially the pretty pink cupcakes:)
Breakfast for me is usually fruit, I like to eat it on an empty stomach, and morning is the only time of day my belly seems to be empty:)!

[...] brussel sprouts. It’s really easy to do and very satisfying. This meal was inspired by the Pure2Raw Twins… we even had homemade sauerkraut for it but the latest batch we made has a really [...]
