Brownie Pudding

May 6, 2010 – 11:49 pm

Sometimes, the biggest successes happen when you aren’t intending on making any. It was raining, dark, and besides watching the Food Network, I was itching to do something. Off to the kitchen I went to see what I could come up with, and with one glance of the cocoa powder hiding behind the sugar, I knew what had to be made. There is very little that could measure up to warm brownies and a tall glass on milk on a rainy day. Little did I know that my brownies would turn into a delectable, gooey pudding perfect with ice cream, whipped cream, or just by itself.

Banana Honey Oatmeal

May 5, 2010 – 2:30 pm

Based on last night’s adventure, I went into the kitchen this morning to see what else I could come up with. After all, the rain was gone and I wanted to celebrate. My early morning rush to work usually includes cereal and milk, so out of habit I went to that cupboard. Instead, I saw oatmeal. On my way to get the milk, I grabbed a banana, cinnamon, and honey. By the end of it (only 10 minutes), I was quite surprised. My oatmeal turned into a royal mush. Beware, though. After this, you won’t have an appetite until tonight.

5 Ingredients to Avoid In Your Breakfast

May 4, 2010 – 10:53 pm

1. Lots of Sugar – It is easy to go for the “wake me up” foods during the morning rush. A quick bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee is a popular combination for busy mornings, both parents and children alike (minus the coffee, of course). However, between the cereals, instant oatmeals, coffee, pastry tarts, bagels, and donuts….it all adds up to one ingredient: sugar. Not just the powdery kind, but sugar is also found in processed foods and grains. As the body breaks down the sugar, it gives you an adrenaline rush. As the body seeks to balance itself a few hours later, you become lethargic. Any excess sugar that is not absorbed turns into fat. THE ALTERNATIVE: Eat whole grains and cereals with fruit to sweeten it up. Limit the sugar you use in your coffee, or just drink one cup. Need more sugar? Add honey to your coffee.
