Before I get on with Not So Fat Fridays...
When I guest posted over at Angie's Seven Clown Circus the other day about finding your best self, I wrote how I look forward to or create mini events to help me stay motivated & provide added incentive to keep working out & eating right. Well, the next couple of months will definitely be keeping me in check:
- I got a new job this week & start on the 13th. The kicker? It's not even a mile from my house. I have been holding out for something like this since getting laid off in January!
- I am going to start teaching cooking classes out of my home as well as provide personal chef services & cooking parties in other people's homes. Soon I will be looking to you for some advice in a fun contest sorta way.
- I am heading to NY in May for my 20th year reunion.
- Our family vacation has been booked for Hilton Head in June.
- I have taken up tennis with my best friend. What an outlet!!!!!
So, wouldn't you say that's enough to make me want to stay on my toes by feeling healthy & well-thy ?!?!?!?
One of the ways I do that is to make sure I am enjoying being healthy. Having one of the following for breakfast makes it very easy because I don't feel I am being denied anything. Instead, it's like I am either having some delicious Mexican or even a Banana Sundae.
STEPH'S HUEVOS RANCHEROS
STEPH'S HUEVOS RANCHEROS
There are so many versions of this Mexican style breakfast so I threw together whatever I had in the house & made it healthier.
Great way to start the day: A corn tortilla broiled in the oven for just a few minutes until crispy, topped with non-fat bean dip, one egg cooked without butter, salsa verde, a little salt & pepper, a sprinkle of cheese & a tad of hot sauce.
This little guy up top curled up quite a bit under the broiler but it worked perfectly.

BANANA BREAKFAST SUNDAE
I usually eat this with strawberries & blueberries but a banana worked just as nice! So far I am loving Mona's Original Granola with no added sugar, salt or artificial additives.
Some non-fat plain yogurt topped with granola, honey & banana makes for a not too sweet breakfast treat!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!!!
