If I can't have my oatmeal in a cookie...

This will do!
Also, I would rather eat my big toe than oatmeal most mornings but for some reason I love it for supper.  Whatever works!

A Good HEARTy Breakfast

So am learning to really listen to my body and today I need a real meaty, filling breakfast.  Luckily I am stocked up on good omega 3 eggs, sweet potatoes and I made some homemade super lean turkey breakfast sausage the other day (stir in poultry seasoning, fennel, garlic, salt and red and black pepper).  One egg a week can't kill me, especially when is is a yummy, orange yolked. high quality egg!

Salmon and Cucumber Salad

So I recently found out I have high cholesterol...and high bad cholesterol...and about triple the triglycerides I should have so I am completely adjusting my life.  I ate healthy most of the time but when I cheated I cheated BAD (and lately too often).  I am also, gasp, giving up alcohol.  Totally for now and maybe later I will reincorporate it with some strict rules.  I love me a glass, err BOTTLE of wine and apparently so do triglycerides!  Anyway I am on day two of my healthy eating.  Kinda vegan, kinda paleo, all whole food.  I tried being a vegan before and couldn't do it so I will still eat high quality fish, wild salmon and sardines mostly.  This dish was an experiment that turned out surprisingly awesome!
