What's Healthy For Breakfast?

The way to get off to a good start on your day is to start with a great tasting breakfast.  A breakfast that is healthy, filling and easy!   

While in Ohio, we stayed at Rebecca's house with Patty and Wayne and I am reproducing the breakfast they had every morning. They have been eating heart healthy for about six months with fantastic results.  This is amazingly healthy for breakfast and is fabulous. Just thought I would share with you. 






Unsweetened Mini Wheats
Frozen Blueberries
Slivered almonds
Skim Milk

The frozen blueberries get coated with milky ice and are so sweet you do not need any extra sweetening.  The almonds added make it taste like a dessert.  It's divine! 

Variations would be:
Adding a half a banana
Rotating frozen fruits...Raspberries, Blueberries, Peaches, etc.
Adding a dollop of Greek Yogurt
and if you must, must, must have it sweeter, mix a teaspoon of honey into your yogurt. 

 Patty not only fixes Wayne heart-smart meals but follows the program herself right along with him.  It's not a  matter if you have heart issues or not, eating smart IS smart! 

So now this is what is healthy for breakfast at our house. 

Enjoy!

Great idea about the frozen blueberries. We kept buying them, but as the season came to it's end, they were so tart!
We eat Chex cereal...it is gluten free...and we add bananas, blueberries, strawberries...and sometimes slivered almonds...yummo!

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

Image
We had a Family Fun Night at our church on Wednesday Oct 31 and the public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  The two hour fun night had several event areas.  In the sanctuary the teens had a fun 10 minute skit they put on every half hour of the evening.  The one side of the church's parking lot had a huge bouncy house and a dozen or so carnival games with prizes and the other side of the church on the parking lot we had a Trunk or Treat.   I participated on the Trunk or Treat event and unfortunately was so busy I didn't get over to the other events for photos. I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one evening...so I didn't

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

When we first arrived at Disney World we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.  Mr. Bill remarked, as we passed the Polynesian Resort, he never had any desire to stay there.  It looked boring to him from the outside.  I hadn't thought much about it, but I did like the lit torches when we passed by on the monorail.  I decided this trip, since we had a free day, we would stop in and tour the three hotels on the line.  We toured the Grand Floridian , the Polynesian Resort and the Contemporary Resort From a distance it doesn't look too exciting.  I could understand his lack of enthusiasm.   When we stepped off the monorail however, the entrance was incredibly gorgeous.  The waterfall was something we hadn't noticed as it was somewhat hidden from the view of the passengers riding.  It was framed by colorful blooms and multiply kinds of foliage.  Completely setting the stage for a visit in the South Seas.   Inside the decor was tropical and spacious with o
