Breakfast Ideas


Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I'm sure that you heard that
all the time when you was a kid. But, it is true. Breakfast is one of those
meals that people today tend to skip. I really don't understand this. Maybe this
is why people are so uptight in the morning. They have the shakes from not
eating. You might have a busy lifestyle, but you need to make sure that you have
time for breakfast. Breakfast is one of those meals that you must eat. I don't
think there is any choice about it. I know that most people who do eat
breakfast, tend to be the type that run out of the house with a donut in their
hand. This really isn't a good idea. I don't know why people jump to the sugary
breakfast foods. I guess it is why people drink coffee. They need that bolt of
energy to wake them up. Or they think that maybe they can avoid eating a good
meal by eating something full of sugar. After all, they feel energetic after
eating a bunch of sugar.
Have you ever noticed how hard it is to wake up at work? Have you noticed how
during the day you get tired? This is because you aren't getting the right foods
for breakfast. You don't realize how important this meal is. Every day you
should have a good meal for breakfast?
What are some good things to eat for breakfast? First, let's start off with what
you shouldn't eat.
Don't eat donuts. For the reasons we spoke above.
Don't eat any cereals that are loaded with sugar. This is nothing more than
empty calories. They don't offer you anything. Not only that, but too much of
this and you will gain weight. Have you ever noticed how sluggish you feel
before lunch? This is because you are eating too much sugar!
Don't eat a ton of fried foods. Don't eat a bunch of bacon, fried eggs, and some
french toast. The added fat will weigh you down.
Don't eat those pasties that come in the boxes. These are loaded with sugar.
They don't offer you anything that is actually good for you. They rob you of all
the things that you should be eating.
Don't load up on coffee. Don't think because coffee can give you energy, that
you can drink it instead of eating. Now, what you should be eating.
Eat a cereal that is low in sugar. Cereal with milk is a great breakfast. It is
a good all around meal.
Try a new egg sandwich. People seem to love the egg sandwiches at fast food
restaurants. Why not make one at home? You can put some cheese or some lean ham
on yours. Use your imagination, these are fun to make.
Eggs are good for breakfast. I'm not going to go through the whole mess about
how they say eggs are bad for you. Don't buy it. Eat them, but eat them in
moderation.
Pancakes. These can be great from time to time. Try to get yourself one of those
griddles that you don't need to add fat too. If you get one of those, you will
be able to eat these more often. To cut down on calories. Instead of using
butter and syrup, put fresh fruit on yours. I love eating mine with fresh fruit
on top of them.
Juice is great for breakfast. Get that pick me up that you need without the
caffeine of morning coffee. You don't have to worry about getting the shakes if
you drink too much juice. Though, you might get the shits, but not the shakes.
Old fashioned toast. This is still a great thing to eat. Just don't load it up
with too much butter or other things.
Oatmeal. I know that most of you probably hated oatmeal when you were a kid.
But, this is some great stuff. Add some milk and a bit of sugar and you have a
breakfast that will stick to your ribs.

Bottled Water


One of the things that I have noticed about single men is, they don't have the
right tools in the kitchen. I have never understood this really. I mean, if you
are single or in a relationship, you still need to eat. I have known men that
didn't have a can opener or a pot big enough to cook pasta in. One thing a man
should never do with out is, a blender. It is a good for many things in the
kitchen. It is also good to make mixed drinks with. Your lady friends will love
the mixed drinks you will make in your new blender. Most women like sweet fruity
type of alcoholic drinks. If you can get her drunk..... You know the rest of the
story.
Blenders can be a great way to make easy meals. I love to use mine to make fast
meals that I don't have to stand around a hot stove to make. I call it fast food
at home. I also try to make a little extra so that I have some leftovers I can
eat the next day for dinner or take it to work for lunch.
Here are some easy recipes that you can use in your blender.
The Virgin Club Med Breeze
350-400 ml strawberry yogurt 1/2 cup skim milk (or 2%) 1 sliced banana 2 tsp
lemon juice 2 tsp grenadine syrup 2 scoops protein powder This is a drink that
women will love. A few of these and both of you will have a nice buzz and a
quite evening around the fire place will be so relaxing. You may want to skip
the powder if you are making it for your woman.
Gazpacho
2 ripe tomatoes cut into big pieces 1/2 cup chopped parsley or coriander 2 tbsp
breadcrumbs 1 avocado, sliced 3 tbsp lemon juice 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup of tomato juice 1 cup of ice-cold water 2 tsp Tabasco or chili sauce Salt,
pepper, and dried herbs to taste Throw everything in the blender and watch it
go. This one tastes great. I usually add just a little more hot sauce to mine. I
might also add some crushed red pepper flakes after I have blended it. I love
hot and spicy foods.
A simple pesto is a great way to use the blender. Since everyone has a way to
make it they like, I suggest that you look on Google or another search engine
for a good recipe. I would try to avoid the oil. Some people put a lot of oil in
theirs. Also, if you use pine nuts, I would suggest that you use ones that are
dry roasted. Make sure you don't get the ones that are deep fried.
The blender can also be a great way to make deserts. Try this one.
Two cups ice cream. Two handfuls of strawberries Half a banana Some chocolate
syrup. In the last pulse, put in some walnuts. Get them chopped up, but not too
fine. You want to make sure that you can feel the walnuts in your mouth.
Serve this in a bowl or on top of a piece of low fat cake. I love eating this
with low fat chocolate cake. I bake a cake and don't put any frosting on it. I
make it in a square pan. I put the ice cream on the cake like it was frosting.
Garnish with a few whole walnuts. You and your guests will love this.
