Good eats...

Tonight I found my new favorite (homemade and healthy) meal. I didn't feel like heating up any pasta sauce, so I decided to cut up a ripe tomato and ripe avocado (I do live in California) and used it to top my whole wheat pasta (my Mom is cringing, but I love whole wheat pasta).

Hmmm....good! And I felt good after eating it and was full. The meal was complete with a chicken breast and a cup of tea.


Breakfast is probably my favorite meal. There's just something about the morning and having a relaxing breakfast. It may be the coffee. I love coffee in general, but have a special affinity for Peets (introduced to me by my Business School stats professor).

I often joke with Cezanne that I just want to go to bed, so I can wake up and it be time for coffee (pay no attention to the fact that I'm saying this at 7 or 8pm sometimes). I guess I just want that coffee, but can't have it until the morning.

Cezanne would agree (and readily point out) that I love a "leisurely" breakfast. She blames that fact on the reason why I get up at 5:40am and leave the house for work at 7:20am. What! Where does the time go?

Shave, Shower, Androgel application, make coffee and breakfast (simple and quick), and then eat breakfast and watch Mike & Mike or the Local News or CNN, then the first 10-15 minutes of the today show and a quick email check.

Anyway, below is my breakfast 80% of the time. It's actually more like 95%. The other 4.5% of the time I make strawberry & banana buckwheat pancakes and the other .5% of the time we have breakfast out.

My 95% breakfast is Kashi Go Lean Cereal with strawberries & bananas and 2% milk, one slice of Milton's whole wheat & whole grain bread (toasted) with Trader Joe's crunchy peanut butter and raspberry preserves, and 2 cups of Peets (Arabian Mocha-Java or Major Dickasons) Coffee.

Between the cereal, the slice of bread, and the peanut butter, that's 18 grams of fiber! I forgot to put in the "where the time goes" section the 2 trips to the bathroom. With that thought, I hope you can still enjoy your breakfast.
