Hi all,

All is well here. Whitesnake and I are enjoying a well deserved long weekend.

Today's posts are over on our joint blog...

Coco has a video to share of a silly dog playing piano and our recipe is for a yummy tomato sauce which you can use for a base for many meals.

See ya tomorrow for Walkabout.

Breakfast Is Still The Most Imortant Meal Of The Day But Does It Have To Be So Big?

So, one of my goals this week was to eat a healthier breakfast and I must say it's harder than I thought. I'm finding the amount of food too much to stomach. So I've compromised and have half of it for breakfast and the rest for morning tea. I've hardly snacked at all like I used to so it's working great. Perhaps my stomach will get used to eating more in the mornings but until then, I'll continue on as I am. It also helps to have lots of healthy options in the pantry and to have an idea of what you are going to eat before you get out of bed.

I've written a post about the healthy breakfast options I've used so far and added a few more I'll try in the future. It's over on our joint blog as that's where we record all our foodie stuff. If you have any suggestions for breakfast, please do share.

See you tomorrow for Skywatch.

Breakfast - The Most Important Meal Of The Day

30 days to a happier, healthier me - day 10




A coffee and a hash brown is my breakfast of choice. Is it any wonder that I find myself snacking on unhealthy treats later on in the day? A healthy breakfast will supply you with much needed vitamins, minerals and fibre and give you steady energy until lunchtime. Eating in the morning improves memory and concentration throughout the day. Many studies have shown that eating a healthy breakfast can actually help you lose weight as you are less likely to snack on unhealthy stuff later on. Sound familiar? I've tried many different cereals for my brekkie but now that I've started reading the food labels, I'm shocked at how much sugar and salt is in a product that is advertised as 'healthy'.

I was saying to Whitesnake the other day how I wanted to start my day with a better breakfast but I was confused about what I should eat. My Mum came over the next day with a stack of magazines and in there I came across a couple of weekly menu plans which include breakfasts....YAY! Funny how when you ask for something, the answer often falls right into your lap.

So, I have my recipes, my shopping list and a plan for the next week. I'm going to try a few of the breakfasts out and post the recipes for the ones I found yummy on our recipe site.

If you have any suggestions for a healthy breakfast....I'd love to hear them.

See you tomorrow.
