Breakfast anyone?

My kids are not breakfast eaters, they have to be up at least two hours for them to be able to eat anything and keep it down. So when they are ready to eat I try to give them a very balanced breakfast. Something healthy that they love is as followed...
1 Eggo waffle (whole grain is best)
1-1 1/2 Tbsp. cashew, almond, or peanut butter (it is a matter of taste)
1/2 a banana (sliced to cover waffle)
1/4 cup of blueberries or strawberries

Serve with milk and there you have a simple balanced breakfast that anyone would enjoy eating.

BTW, I have also made this in a dessert fashion by just adding whipped topping, chopped nuts, dark chocolate shavings, and a cherry on top and the kiddies eat it up. Little do they know that they are eating healthy, all they know is that it taste good.

New food that I have tried and love.

I do not have the best relationship with food, I enjoy it a little to much. But that is just part of me. Plus my hubby likes me big. I used to be very obese at 563 pounds and now I am at 200 plus range so it is more in check now than it was 10 years ago. So when I try something new that I like I will share it with you all.

First of all I really love dark chocolate and my hubby got me a bag of Hershey's Extra Dark with pomegranate they are so good. The rich taste of the dark chocolate and the tangy taste of the pomegranate is just a great combo.

Second it the Swiss Miss dark chocolate hot chocolate. It is a lot less sweet, which I love. It make a great cafe mocha, just mix it with black coffee, a little milk, and I put a little Splenda with it.

Third is the new Doritos Spicy & Sweet chips. These are really great on a roast beef and cheese on sourdough. They give the sandwich extra crunch but I am weird and have always put chips on my sandwich.

Fourth is Haagen-Daas Pear ice cream with caramelized pear bits and toasted pecan chunks. Well I have said before that I love pear but this ice cream is the best, a real treat.

Last but not least are blue cheese stuffed olives by Mezzetta. They are great along with fresh veggies and plain sourdough bread.

What are some of your favorites? Is there something new on the market that you love, please share.

The BEST yogurt ever!


I first tried Yo Baby about 4 years ago when Scarlett was about a year old. I fell in love with it then. We buy it ever once in a while because it is not cheap. My favorite is the pear flavor and I have never seen pear flavored yogurt from any other brand. The first bite is the best because it has all the cream that has risen to the top. It's oh so very yummy, it gets two thumbs up from me and my girls.

I love coffee & quizzes, can't beat a coffee quiz.




You Are a Caramel Latte



You often are feeling indulgent - and you go ahead and indulge yourself.

You are very creative. And you know you need to stimulate your senses to get your creative juices flowing.



You are a truly optimistic person. You see the best in yourself and in everyone else.

Your life can be a bit messy at times, but the most beautiful things come out of your chaos.
