One poached egg on a wheat crumpet, one veggie sausage, and a half a grilled tomato…oh and low fat soya latte. 🙂

The weekends are free of calorie counting for me so I had blueberry pancakes. I put an over easy egg over the top of one of the cakes. That’s better with regular pancakes.

Still pretty good though.

Breakfast is generally a granola bar, but today it was a burrito supreme leftover from the night before.

Homemade chicken soup with a couple of matzo balls, and a Sudafed. I can simultaneously Jewish-mother and WASP-mother my cold. 🆒

When I’m sick, I want nothing but chicken soup all day long. Not because of health benefits, but because it feels so good.

Damn, I forgot that I had an avocado in the fridge…

I fried 2 slices of lean ham in olive oil, cut in long strips. This is very close to being bacon\*, but much healthier.

Then I sauted some diced scallions, mushrooms, asparagus and red bell pepper in the oil left in the pan from the ham.

Put those aside, fried 3 eggs (in olive oil) until done just right, then plopped them on top of the ham and veggies.

Yum.

But it would have been so much better with some avocado!!

\*got nothing against bacon, but I try to limit myself to once a month or so. The ham really works well as a substitute, especially if you get it a little crispy.

I also tried in a old chicken/rice casserole recipe that called for cream of chicken or mushroom soup - nice variation.

For brunch yesterday I bought a breakfast burrito with eggs, cheese, black beans, corn, peppers, and hot sauce.

My usual weekday breakfast is light and involves coffee and one of cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, or English muffin. With a piece of fresh fruit, preferably.

This morning was the same as most weekdays: black coffee, whole wheat toast with peanut butter. Gets me my caffeine, my fat, my protein, and my carbohydrates to start the day off right.

Yesterday was the same as most Sundays: I got up early with my 2-year-old daughter and made Special Daddy Style Oatmeal. Rolled oats cooked with raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla, and topped with butter and brown sugar. Plus coffee for me and milk for her, which she dumped into her oatmeal about halfway through eating it. It tastes like rice pudding, only is much easier to make.
