Healthy breakfast
by In my journey to lose wait, in reading every fitness mag I can get my hands on, I've discovered that breakfast is seriously important to boosting your metabolism. Unfortunately, I haven't found too many good breakfast recipes that can be prepared a day or two before and then eaten as I'm getting ready in the morning.
I've made:
Corn muffins (with whole wheat flour for the fiber)
Ginger muffins (again, with whole wheat flour)
Fruit salad
I want to try:
Power scones (recipe will be posted later)
I don't like:
Eggs
messing with a blender in the morning to make a smoothie
What's your breakfast of champions?

it's so funny, how when you are used to one way of things...people that do it another way are like, freaks...at home @ my parents house...i never ONCE had box pancakes...like bisquick...or instant mashed potatos..ick...and my inlaws love it. i think it's so gross. my husband likes the homemade stuff BETTER...but still LIKES the fake stuff...i find it sooo aggrivating.
I can't stand instant mashed potatoes! Just the thought that it's supposed to be potatoes, but dried... gross. Bisquick, however, I think of like brownie mix, which I have no trouble using. I could blend the flour, baking powder and flavors by myself, but if it's already boxed, why bother?
98% of the time...homemade tastes better and is healthier. i've never actually TASTED bisquick pancakes...it's just my perception.
I only recently found a recipe for homemade pancakes - although I think my dad used to make them from scratch...
the basic recipe my mom always used (and i use) is the better homes & gardens cook book recipe. (I LOVE that cookbook) but my mom puts ricotta in her pancakes...it makes them sooo good.
i love putting sliced apples in my pancakes or bluberries.
fried eggs are the way to go, i just dont ever get up in time to make em
GOSH, did you not see that she said she doesnt LIKE eggs?
i could go for some egg salad for lunch. mmm
haha, i saw, i saw, i'm just sayin...
slim fast. it's filling, cheap & has lots of vitamins. and it doesnt taste too bad. i'm going to the Outerbanks in 3 weeks, so i'm going to be in a bathing suit for the week...figure i could stand to loose a few poundages.
other than that...my fav. healthy breakfast is bite size shreaded wheat, with some walnuts (or sliced almonds) & fresh fruit...and if i dont have fruit @ home...i put honey on it. it's so good & very filling.
Corn Flakes, juice, sometimes a muffin. egg white omlette w/cheese adn broccoli, oatmeal, hard boil eggs....
everything just depends on my mood, i LUV breakfast so i'll take time to make it!
