Pay attention to what fruits and veggies are in season. It really affects their taste, who you support economically (support local), and who wants food that traveled from Mexico? Gew, now you have pollution on top of your pesticides, yummy. Btw, I have read that Mexico's organic standards are slacking, so watch you organic produce purchases, you could be paying more money for a non-organic product. If a produce label reads Mee-hee-coo, I put ittt back. ;)
Over the weekend, I made a breakfast quinoa, which was a first for me as I usually stick to my
oatmeal with cinnamon, honey and seeds. The
Breakfast Quinoa was really good. I suggest incorporating this protein packed grain into your diet asap! I enjoy it far more than rice!
Also, I pack an intense lunch for Dave and I
every night. Planning and packing food is essential for my lifestyle. I pack us a mix of- grapefruit, apples, oranges, raw broccoli, greek yogurt (usually plain with fruit/ honey) and eggs. I eat oatmeal and an egg for breakfast
pretty much every day. I make it the night before and put it in a tupperware like so,
Sometimes I get fancy and add spinach or onions and green peppers or just pepper and hot sauce! I love my eggs. They taste just fine the next day! Try it! I usually do one egg per person unless the eggs are small or it is the weekend, haha. This has 3 eggs divided into 2 small Tupperwares!
A spoiled Dave on a Sunday AM:
To wrap this up, but I will be back with more, planning is key! Sure, it takes time, but it's better than starving and grabbing whatever you can to satisfy your grumbling belly!
