Never having been a fan of morning cereal with milk, these lightly crispy circles make a great snack, whether sitting at the computer or watching television, they nourish and fill, but they don’t overfill. One and a third cupsContinueContinue reading “My New Favorite T.V. Snack”

PLANNING BREAKFAST
My mother used to give us a choice for breakfast: We had to have either cereal or egg before going to school. Toast was optional and we had to have the juice she prepared, usually orange.

It’s time to get serious. Not that I haven’t been serious in my flight around the globe feeling out the terrain of weight gain and what causes it, besides over-eating.
