Coco Wheats. A fond childhood breakfast...

I used to have Coco Wheats quite a bit growing up. It's not as healthy as oatmeal, but not as bad as Coco Pebbles. It's a hot cereal with a chocolate flavor and I add blueberries and nuts to it. Be careful if you try this. Follow the instructions carefully. Do not let it overcook or it will become rock hard. You know it's done when it's still a little runny. As it sits, it becomes thicker. Hope you like it!

Turkey breakfast sausage

What a great find! I was buying the Jimmy Dean turkey breakfast sausage, but Tennessee Pride doesn't contain MSG or nitrates. And how cute is the prepackaged serving size. One serving of two patties is only 100 calories.

Thai Bankok with Tofu

Typically on weekends we eat out Friday and order in Saturday. The mixed veggies were delicious in this dish. The sauce was a hot basil sauce. Did I say hot, I meant blazing, so I added some sticky rice to cut the heat. But typically I don't eat the rice, since I don't like to waste my calories on not-so-flavorful rice. And I get tofu. Also ordered a spring roll that night too. Ate half and the rest was dinner the next night.

Ginger chews

Great snack when the tummy is upset. Only around 2o calories, this sweet, spicy chew needs to eaten in two bites because the ginger has a kick!

Treat meal!

Yes, I do eat other things beside Greek yogurt, sweet potatoes and eggs. Here's a typical Friday "treat" meal from Toreros. Chicken taquitos with Spanish rice & refried beans. And don't forget the chips & salsa as an appetizer! And no Mexican meal would be complete without a margarita. Salud!
