an all american breakfast



Posted by Picasa
i am heading up to the cape tomorrow and simply can't wait!  i won't be posting while i am gone, so please check back with me on tuesday.  i am truly taking a vacation.  don't even call, because i won't answer!  i made this breakfast last weekend when the u.s. played england.  i eat an egg white sandwich on whole wheat every single morning.  i really do.  so imagine what a treat this was.   this to me is an "all american breakfast".  i'm sure denny's, waffle house, or shoney's has something on their menu called that?  (did i seriously just categorize myself with those chains?)  i made scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese grits, baked beans, and toast.  so good.  most of you probably haven't had baked beans for breakfast, try it.  it is really, really good.
tip:  place the baked beans next to the grits - trust me on this. 
i wanted to post this one today, because the united states advanced to the final 16 in the world cup.  i am very excited and happy for them (and me).  who doesn't want their team to do well?

on a complete side note.  have you noticed the difference between what healthy food and not so healthy food looks like?  for example, the food in this photo is very brown and neutral.  healthy food is colorful and bright.  i recently read a post at this exercise blog that pretty much summed it up, it's about functional eating.  check it out, your bound to learn a few things.
