In America today, food choices are abundant. Unfortunately, many choices are not healthy for our bodies to consume on a regular basis. Foods like many processed pre-packaged meals, fast food, white sugar laden foods are just a few. There are so many additives and preservatives out there as well. I have chosen to make a concerted effort to buy and cook nutritious foods for my family. This blog reflects healthy recipes and information on healthy eating. I try to reflect a balanced diet where healthy eating is the norm.
Here is a picture of one of our staple breakfast meals.
Here you will see one piece of whole grain toast, 1 egg, and a bowl of oatmeal with fresh fruit. Here are the details. My typical breakfast here would be as follows:
1 piece of whole grain toast with about 1/3 teaspoon butter (not margarine)
1/2 to 1 egg with salt and pepper cooked in very little oil
1/2 cup cooked oatmeal with a little salt, raisins and flax seeds, fresh fruit on top, no sugar
Ideally, you would have dry toast. But at this point, I prefer to have a little butter. However, I do use real butter - no margarine - no fake stuff. This breakfast is good and very filling. It is packed with nutrition. The whole grain toast gives the needed nutrition found in whole grains. The egg provides a good source of protein. The oats are loaded with nutrition as is the fresh fruit and flax seeds. I will be doing some posts soon on the benefits of each of these items so you can see just how healthy and nutritious these foods are.
