Breadcrumbs – can use regular or panko breadcrumbs. Eggs – help hold the ingredients together. Broccoli and Carrots – feel free to substitute with other vegetables like cauliflower, sweet potato, zucchini, potato, etc. Peas and corn – fresh or frozen corn will both work.

Fun Facts About Me Once upon a time (in my twenties), I was OBSESSED with baking and even worked as an assistant baker at a catering bakery. I seriously considered becoming a pastry chef. Around the same time, I also obtained a certification as a wedding planner. Ultimately, I went back to school to obtain a Masters in Nutrition. I guess it’s safe to say that my twenties were a time of much “experimentation” as I decided to turn my back on my first career choice in search of my true calling....
Why you should freeze pancakes Nothing beats freshly cooked pancakes on a lazy morning. But as a mom of two littles, those mornings are long gone as I always feel like I’m fighting against time.

You will be able to serve a healthy and delicious breakfast with very little effort....
Overnight Oats with Quinoa Overnight oats are basically no-cook method of making oatmeal. Instead of cooking the oats, simply soak them with milk of choice (and/or yogurt) and let them sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight – hence the name. As they rest, the oats and seeds will absorb the liquid, making the uncooked oats soft enough to eat. Texturally, it’s also denser and creamier than the stove-top oats, like this baby oatmeal....

Lately I’ve been struggling with an obsession. It’s called olives. I cannot stop thinking about them, and I cannot stop popping them in my mouth. What is happening to me? I hate olives! This just goes to show that food preferences CAN change. First it was cilantro, and now this. As someone who swells up in the face easily and resembles a Jigglypuff (my lil’ brother was obsessed with Pokemon…don’t judge), whenever excessive sodium is introduced into the body, I try to stay away from salty foods as much as possible....

Healthy Blueberry Yogurt Yogurt is one of our go-to breakfasts, and I love how easy, filling, and versatile it is!

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by the Soyfoods Council. While I was compensated for my time, all opinions and thoughts are 100% my own. Being Korean, soy runs in my DNA. From all things tofu, fermented soybean paste, to soy chips, our cuisine depends heavily on the nutrient-packed legume. On the other hand, it’s not something that comes to mind when you think Thanksgiving food. Until now that is! The Soyfoods Council challenged some of us from the Healthy Aperture Blogger Network to help everyone get #SoyInspired this Thanksgiving, and boy, did everyone rise up to the occasion and debut their creative and delicious recipes (scroll to the bottom for the links)....
