You Don't Have to Eat Cereal For Breakfast, But You Do Have to Watch Out For Exploding Microwaves

This morning I learned two very valuable lessons when it comes to food. The 1st lesson was, breakfast doesn't have to be cereal. In fact, breakfast doesn't have to really be breakfast at all.

I've been burned out on cereal for the past week or so, so I've been skipping breakfast, or just making coffee or tea my choice of nutrition in the morning. Not a good thing, of course.

Well, today I decided I needed to fuel my body with something other than coffee or tea, so I chose leftovers from yesterday's lunch. Which, turned out yummy, by the way.

Now here's my 2nd lesson. Be very careful what you heat up in a microwave. I had some leftover guacamole that I heated for a mere 30 seconds along with my breakfast, but when I opened the microwave door, the guacamole exploded right onto my face, neck and chest. And while I managed to walk away un-scalded, some of the guacamole, which contained jalapeno juice, got into my eye.

I don't believe there will be any serious damage, but my eye is still burning from the guacamole and my vision is still slightly blurry. I am hoping this will pass since I don't have any sort of health insurance, but if it doesn't, I will be making a visit to the eye doctor. Right now it's just a wait and see. Lesson learned.

Kiwi -It's What's For Breakfast

This morning was one of those mornings that I decided to clean out the refrigerator for breakfast. I had a kiwi that had been in there for a little while now and I hate wasting food. So I sliced this simple treat up and induldged in it for breakfast.

Usually I don't even eat breakfast, but lately I've learned if I skip meals I get very bad headaches and that was proof last night. I've also learned that junk food is only okay once in a great while and as so many of us already know, you are what you eat. It's also not a good example to be setting for our kids.

Not too long ago the kids and I started experimenting with our new found friend, a fun shaped popsicle tray. So far we've made kiwi popsicles, herbal tea popsicles and plain old tea popsicles. In the beginning I thought it would be a bad thing to have since popsicles are generally loaded with sugars and other fake ingredients, but I've since learned it's not the popsicles that are bad, it's what we parents put into them.

So I'm wondering, what you as readers enjoy as a healthy breakfast and what ingredients you would include into the popsicle trays for a special treat?

Back Away From the French Toast... A Brunette Moment

This morning I decided I wanted breakfast. Usually it's a rare thing for me to even eat breakfast, but I guess today was one of those, "Gotta have Breakfast" days. Soo I made french toast for breakfast. I was down to transferring the last piece of french toast to my plate, when it slipped off the spatula and onto the floor. The next thing I know, the cats are in the kitchen... wondering what the hell is going on and fighting me for the french toast. In the process (dumb brunette moment) I set the hot skillet down on a plastic lid so that I could retrieve the toast from the floor and the cats(they won't eat it). After realizing what I did with the skillet, I picked it up and discovered melted plastic all over the bottom of the skillet. Yeah, that will be fun to get off of there!

To make a long story short, the cats did not want the french toast (but they'll eat lentils), so I'm giving it to the dogs and I now have a nice skillet ring mark on my lid to my cleaning bucket.lol

 

See. Brunettes can have dumb moments too!!! LOL
