Breakfast the simple way

This fruit bowl has become one of my favorite breakfast dishes whether I'm traveling or not. Think about it. How should or do you think the Dr inside you feels when you give them something to work with first thing in the morning?


This just happens to be my current situation.  


Simple. Go get you favorite fruit, nuts, grain and some almond or soy milk. 


Mix and match to your hearts content. 


So there you have it. Easy, quick, tastey and nutritious.  Now have a bowl and have a wonderful day. 

Peace

Salad or Subway?

Don't get me wrong I get my Subway fix on every now and then. My wife just came home with a sandwich from Subway. She would have brought me one but they didn't have the veggie patties. Next best think is to go fresh because that what I do to. Ha ha! Yes I'm entertaining my self and enjoying my salad on the patio on a hot summer day in the desert.

 
                            Or


I think you get the picture. Enjoy either one. I just happen to have my version. 

Enjoy!
