This week’s #MeatlessMonday is brought to us by gluten-free foodie Nicole Cogan of @NOBREAD. Nicole’s sharing her inspiration for her site and favorite gluten-free friendly spots in a Q+A and her favorite breakfast recipe here…

“I love avocado. In fact, I think a touch of avocado on anything, yes anything, makes the dish better.

I also think that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and although I LOVE making pancakes on the regular, it’s nice to mix it up with some healthier meals, too. Oatmeal is simple and easy to make, but often times can be a bit boring unless you drown it in syrup or overdo it with toppings.

Insert the avocado. A delicious, healthy way to give your oatmeal some flavor. Yes you can be simple and lay some sliced avocado on top of your oatmeal, but I like to make avocado sauce, and mix the sauce in with the oatmeal!”
