sardines for breakfast

Jo is notorious for busting open a can of sardines for breakfast, so we knew we had to include this recipe in our cookbook. Packed with omega-3s and vitamin B12, this tiny but mighty “super” fish is worth including in your rotation, especially if you’re fighting inflammation and want to boost brain health.
