We at Crossfit West Houston hope you had a wonderful holiday this past weekend. As 2012 (did I just say that?) approaches, we look forward to a new year. I LOVE the promise and hope that a new year brings. It is a fresh start, a new beginning. So even if you blew it over the holidays, and ate those 7 dozen cookies that grandma baked or ate that dairy & processed laden smorgasboard of temptations… don’t fret. It is a NEW day, AND a NEW year. Let’s start fresh!
So, as I thought about this post I was inspired by the fact that breakfast is an important start to the day. So, to start the new year off right, start Januray 01, 2012 off with a nice New Year’s Day brunch. All recipes below serves 8-12 people.
