YUMMY Healthy Breakfast :)

My first time trying a sandwich baggie ‪#‎omelet‬ - IT WAS SO GOOD! lol 
It had 2 eggs, half a slice of torn cheese because I didn't have my usual shredded, parsley, about 2 Tablespoons of salsa, Pink Himalayan salt, and black pepper. (I used a thicker quart baggie and after mixing it all, I rolled it down to get the air out and paperclipped it so the mix wouldn't be all spread out). You can use any ingredients you like. Ham chunks, chopped green onions, etc)
Also, regular oatmeal with cinnamon, Madhava Natural Sweeteners' Agave syrup and Newman's Own Organics Mixed Berries on top,‪#‎YUMMY‬!!

PRODUCT REVIEW: Sari Foods' Organic Spirulina

I so wanted to love this! I am a big fan of proteins and wheys and the like, that I add to my smoothies or teas, because, honestly, I did not have a great diet as I aged, so I balance out my bad habits with adding greens and proteins that I would not normally consume or chew, to my smoothies. This Spirulina is a great concept. Really! But sadly, this was a poor product.

After cutting open the top of the bag, the odor hit me. I thought, ok, I could get used to this just like I did with valerian root, just leave the bag open a minute while you get other things ready... no, I can't, it was just too overwhelming.

Second, the 1/2 spoonful I put into my hot tea did not melt. It clumped up on the spoon like a baby koala hanging on his momma for dear life! Strangest thing I've ever seen. So, I stirred and stirred. Approximately half of it broke away and floated on top, never mixing in. The rest of it stayed firmly attached to the spoon. I had to use a paper towel to pull it off over the trashcan. Then I dumped out the ruined cup of tea and rinsed the cup out.

Third, the bag would not reclose! No matter what: starting from the end, starting from the middle, mash mash MASH! It did not matter, that zip was not going to match up and seal! So I slowly folded the top over (so as not to inhale anymore odor), and zipped it into a gallon baggie.

Unfortunately, I will not be trying this in a smoothie this week... maybe next week.

I'm so sorry to give a 'bad' review, it's my first in a very long time, but I do not think, at this point in time, that this product is a good choice. Maybe later down the road after improvements.

I suggest they rework the seal situation, and somehow incorporate something into the 'food' to make it blend into hot liquid. 

My Rating: Poor (because I can't bring myself to type an 'F'!)

Back to the new way of eating this week! (Dr Oz)

I started a Dr. Oz 'diet' a few weeks ago and was doing very well my first two weeks; I bought everything I needed for the new meals for two weeks, got some crappy food out of the house and was actually enjoying new flavors and a new way of cooking.

I got slack because of not having the right items in my house this last week. Plus my friend and her daughter came down for a few days so I didn't feel right 'making' them eat what I was suppose to be eating. So it got pushed to the side while all four of us ate some not-so-good-foods as well as stuff that was just not necessary.

So this morning, I got right back into the "diet" because I had bought a couple of little things over the last week so this week would be easier.

This morning I had ONE piece of wheat toast with 1 tsp of (healthy) peanut butter, and 1 whole red apple, cleaned and sliced.

Lunch is a toasted wheat English muffin with a Boca Veggie burger (I had a Boca chicken patty), 1 tsp marinara sauce, lettuce (I use baby spinach washed well), sliced tomato, red onion (I had white onion already cut up in the fridge), a little pepper, and a little oregano. YUMMY : )

I can't wait to pick a meal for tonight. It will involve fresh chicken. Maybe I will do strips pan-cooked in chili olive oil and some honey. That's always a hit.

Lunch:

The plate is now empty ; )
