Growing up, my dad insisted we all eat breakfast before leaving the house. He could not fathom how anyone could start their day without eating that all-important first meal of the day. Although I, too, am a big advocate of breaking-the-fast, I know that busy mornings can overwhelm us to the point of meal-skipping. So, what's a busy person to do? I think I have the perfect recipe to help you out.
