Summer time I like to get a mix of fresh fruit and frozen fruits in the freezer. 

Seasonal Fruit - apples, berries(all), bananas, grapes, berries, pineapple, peaches, etc.

Plain Organic Whole Milk - Active Culture Yogurt - buy the plain!!!  You can always sweeten with your own honey and a dash of vanilla (which my kids enjoy)

Granola - Homemade or Organic Purchased

Serves 10

  Ingredients:  

• 1/2 Onion Diced
• 2 Cloves of Garlic
• 1.5 LB Ground Turkey or Breakfast Chicken Sausage
• 2  C Coconut or Regular Milk
• 2  C Bone Broth 
• 1  C Grits
• 3  C Grated Cheddar
• 8  Large Eggs

 Directions:   

Preheat Oven to 375 degrees   In a 10” cast-iron (preferred) skillet over medium heat, sauté garlic  (2 min), add onion (5 min) , then brown mean (10 min) breaking up the chunks with the back of a wooden spoon.  Remove & Set aside.   

Add 2 C of Milk and 2 C Broth to Skillet and bring to boil.  Whisk in grits slowly until smooth and no lumps remain.  Reduce heat and continue to cook, whisking until very thick, (5 minutes). Remove from heat, sprinkle with salt and pepper, stir in about ½ the grated cheese.
In a medium bowl (or blender), whisk together the eggs with the hot sauce and remaining 1 C of milk. (Often I typically throw in a handful of spinach for color variation and . it’s just one more way I get greens in my kids daily!)  Slowly stream the egg mixture into the skillet with the grits continuously whisking. 

 Fold in the sausage.  Sprinkle with remaining cheese on top.

Cook uncovered for 50 minutes, you should be able to poke a knife in the  center and it comes out mostly clean (50 min).
