Ahhh breakfast.
It’s my favorite meal of the day, yet one that I have the hardest time sticking to.
That doesn’t make the most sense, does it? See, I love hot and hearty breakfasts (think eggs, pancakes, skillets, that sort of thing), but my usual go-to dish in the mornings consists of coffee and yogurt. And sometimes cereal, if I’m in the mood.
But I’m desperately trying to get better at eating a healthier breakfast. It’s hard though! I’ve been saying this for a while, but I’m really trying to stick to my goal this time.
And that’s where MorningStar Farms® products come into play. I found a great selection when I was shopping at Walmart. It’s not only for vegetarians, it’s for everyone! You really have to “Taste It to Believe It.”
MorningStar Farms® veggie sausage with plant protein power is the better way to start your morning off right. MorningStar Farms® products are perfect for families, working adults, and people that like to eat on the healthier side. And it’s so easy to substitute veggies for meat in a meal.
After heading home with my selection of MorningStar Farms® Original Sausage Patties and MorningStar Farms® Bacon Strips from Walmart, I set out to create a healthier and delicious breakfast dish that would get me going in the morning.

If you haven’t hopped on the savory oats train, then now is the time! My tastebuds were literally blown away the first time I tried them. And if you’ve been following me for a while, you probably remember this savory oatmeal from last March. Although I haven’t shared a similar recipe since then, I’ve been eating them quite often.
And since we’re in the middle of winter, I thought this Savory Parmesan Oatmeal would be the perfect dish to warm up with.
The secret to making these savory oats extra delicious? Chicken broth! Instead of cooking the oats in water or milk, use chicken broth in its place. It may sound strange, but trust me, it’s life-changing, friends!
Like most of my recipes, these savory oats are a breeze to whip up. To start, you cook the oats in some chicken broth and then let it simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed. While the oats are simmering, crack an egg (or two) into a heated skillet with butter and fry until it’s done to your liking.
Then, you’ll cook the MorningStar Farms® Original Sausage Patties according to the package directions and set aside. Once the oats are ready, pour into a bowl and top with the cooked sausage, fried egg, and Parmesan cheese.
One bite and you may never go back to the sweeter oats. This breakfast is perfect for staying on track for the new year. Easy to make and even better to eat, you’ll love the hearty texture and taste of this simple Savory Parmesan Oatmeal!
