Eat like a king ....

My father usually says: Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.
This eating pattern makes a lot of sense. The problem is who has the time to cook for a king in the morning.
We generally desire meal variety at lunch and dinner, but for breakfast many of us are creatures of habit and eat the same thing every morning. We even get upset when the jam?s jar we each morning is empty forcing us to find something else or just skip breakfast drinking only a cup of coffee. So, I tough: - To get more health, I needed to break my breakfast habits, so that means a little bit of variety.



Yesterday night meanwhile I roasted some potatoes I started to bake some healthy muffins for breakfast. I used berries, olive oil instead butter, granola and brown sugar. The recipe makes 18 muffins, that I frozen. So, today I pick one and leave to oven and viola: fresh muffins for breakfast coffee, low fat milk, jam, butter, strawberries and orange juice. Now I pray to God that I had disposition every morning to eat a good and healthy breakfast.
