The most important meal of the day is breakfast, of course! I love breakfast food.
Breakfast #1: Oatmeal with banana, coconut, and almond butter. I think that coconut is one of my new favorite foods….
Breakfast #2: Some free multi-grain Nature’s Pride bread (thanks Foodbuzz!) with a pesto goat cheese spread and scrambled eggs.
Breakfast #3: I found this apple at a farmer’s market near my parent’s house. I forgot what it was called, but it is a cross between a granny smith and a golden delicious. It has the crunchy texture of a granny smith and sweetness of a golden delicious. I sprinkled cinnamon on it, drizzled some honey, and served with a spoonful of almond butter. I actually had this as a snack, but it could be a light breakfast.
What is your favorite kind of apple?? Mine was granny smith until I tried this one, whatever it was called….
Serve any of these with a big cup of hot tea. Currently, my favorite is Tazo Green Ginger:
“A dazzling blend with sweet, spicy ginger and a touch of pear.” Yes, please!
And now for the fun news……
GUESS WHERE I AM GOING TOMORROW?!!
Yes, I am going to Istanbul, Turkey!! I have a friend over there working as an au pair, so I am going to visit. Expect lots of pictures of lentils and bulgur when I get back! See ya next week!

I’ve never seen the green ginger tea, but I will keep my eyes peeled. I actually make that combo at work by mixing two tea bags into the same cup.
How perfect that they now make it in ONE bag!? hahaha yay!!!
