Christmas morning, to me, is all about hygge. If you aren’t familiar, hygge is a term used in both the Norwegian and Danish languages that roughly translates to a feeling of coziness or comfort. A good cup of coffee, warm pajamas, and relaxing by the fireplace with family is my idea of a perfectly hyggelig Christmas morning. One thing that helps keep Christmas morning relaxed in our home is having a plan for a simple but comforting breakfast. For today’s Friday Five, I’m sharing Simple Christmas Breakfast Ideas that will hopefully help you to have a more relaxing holiday morning.
…Easy Gingerbread Energy Bites
‘Tis the season for holiday treats and I am here for it. Christmas cookies, candy, and other sweets abound at home, work, and holiday gatherings and while I definitely love indulging in the holiday foodie fun now and then, I do try and stay mindful of all the extra sugar creeping into my diet this time of year. I came up with the recipe for these Easy Gingerbread Energy Bites as way to enjoy a sweet holiday treat without all of the processed sugar. And bonus – they are gluten free and vegan, too!

So here are my thoughts on gratitude this year and all of the things that I will give thanks for!
…Citrus Kissed Roasted Brussels Sprouts
It took me a long time to discover the amazingness of Brussels Sprouts. I wasn’t really introduced to them until I was a young adult and then I wasn’t really sure what all of the fuss was about. Seemed like just small cabbages to me and I’ve never really loved cooked cabbage! But then I discovered ROASTED brussels sprouts. And better yet, these Citrus Kissed Roasted Brussels Sprouts… which are a little sweet, a little savory, a little citrus-y, and ALL delicious! Now I’m #teambrussels all the way.
