    Oh my gosh, snowballs are one of my favorites (well maybe not for breakfast) and I always have to share them with our tabby cat. He hears the package being opened and smells them from the back bedroom and comes running and meowing until I give him some of the gooey coconut stuff. It sticks to his mouth and he is so funny eating them. I think it is actually the coconut.
    Okay, I am a diabetic and I should have had breakfast by now, but I haven't. I will be having a slice of toast and half a banana and a glass of milk. That's because I have an 11 doctor's appointment and am trying to be good. I have been know to eat junk for breakfast. Favorite is cold left over pizza or spaghetti. (Wish I had some right now)
    And I love a diet pepsi in the morning. (It's my coffee)

    yeah, we non-coffee drinkers
    yeah, we non-coffee drinkers like to say that about soda "it's my coffee". Dentists just hate soda. Even one didn't like diet because of the acid. Oh well.

    The good and the bad
    To start out I had my usual 1/2 cup coffee, with pumpkin spice flavored creamer (yum!), then I made a breakfast burrito with a whole wheat tortilla, egg substitute, salsa, bacon, and lowfat cheese.

    Not too bad, but since I've been at work I've been nibbling on the leftover halloween candy I keep on my desk - 1 mini 3 Musketeers bar and a handful of candy corns - not so good!

    I brought my lunch today which is pretty healthy, though. Sandwich, FF yogurt, grape tomatoes and cantaloupe. If I can just resist more candy I'll be fine, but it keeps saying "Cindy, oh Cindy! Don't forget about me!!!"

    Well, I read the package on
    Well, I read the package on those mini 3 Musketeers bars and they consider 5 as a serving. hee hee hee.

    Sno Balls? I don't even know
    Sno Balls? I don't even know what that is! I am a healthy breakfast eater~usually oatmeal with lots of added cinnamon ( cinnamon lowers blood sugar while oatmeal lowers cholesterol) no milk, but lots of chopped granny smith apples, blueberries and walnuts. I love it!

    Weekends Reggie makes whole grain pancakes~ he puts orange zest in the batter ( YUM!) and right b4 he flips them, he puts fresh raspberries on the cake, adds a tiny bit of batter to cover, and every pancake then has WHOLE berries on the inside! Soooo good~ I am not a sweet eater, so I don't use syrup or even butter on them. They are light, fluffy and taste of orange and berries...who needs syrup masking that taste? Not I! LOL
    But I am a coffee snob and grind it fresh and love how the house smells like a coffee house! :-)

    I have an ebilsiver pan that you put the batter in and then after it cooks a little you can add fruit, jelly, banana slices, then you add a little more batter, and you flip them and cook the other side. The pan looks like an egg poacher so they come out like little round balls. They are yummy. It is a Danish dish and you could get a pan in Solvang. I got mine from my sister in law. She is Danish and her aunt and uncle and grandmother had something to do with founding Nordic ware. So she used to get boxes of stuff from them all the time.
    I don't drink coffee anymore but I love the smell of fresh ground coffee.
    Sno balls are by Hostess and they are pink (unless it's a holiday then they use other colors) with coconut sprinkled and they are cake underneath with the same cream inside that Hostess cupcakes have. There are two in a package and they used to be one pink, one white. I bet kids fought over who got the pink one so now they are both the same color. Pink usually, orange at Halloween, green at St Patricks, etc. I am a purist. Love the pink only.

    Breakfast
    Small bowl of Grape Nuts Flakes w/ a glass of milk and half a glass of tomatoe juice. Simple stuff. That's for me.

    Love ebilsivers!!
    They're like a cross between a pancake and a donut. Haven't had one in years (I don't have a pan to make my own).

    OK Chen, you can send that man my way or
    does he have a brother? Those pancakes made my mouth water. Since I had to eat at 5:00 this morning with the steroid pills, I'm hungry again accompanied by a slight headache. I'm trying to keep things at bay with an apple. I know I'm in the wrong spot for this question but are headaches a s/e of the steroids? I may need to take my ativan sooner than I thought. I was going to wait a few more hours. Lola

    Isn't cold pizza considered a breakfast food? I've always thought so. It's kinda like toast (the crust), ham (the pepperoni, italian sausage or canadian bacon), fruit and/or veggies (pineapple, mushrooms, peppers) and I guess the cheese can substitute for the eggs. And of course the tomato sauce base becomes our tomato juice. See a well-rounded breakfast and quick to grab on the run. Lola

    I really like your attitude. You could put a little lettuce and tomatoes with those carrots and make yourself a nice salad.

    Ok, Ok
    But, I'll have you know that this was the ONLY breakfast that I didn't have at home this week. I had a egg and ham sandwich on whole wheat and a pack of those popped chips (garlic and parmesan flavor) and a black tea. Argh. My lunch was really healthy though. Honest.

    That's a good idea except I ran out of lettuce and tomatoes. All I have is carrots and halloween candy. Well, I could make a roast beef sandwich but don't really feel like meat. I had been eating a salad for lunch every day but ran out. We have lots of other foods but got used to the salad and just can't decide what else I'd eat. This is a lesson to all...don't run out of salad or the Twix bar will call.

    Egg and ham sandwich don't
    Egg and ham sandwich don't sound too unhealthy compaired to dr pepper and sno balls! My son asked me how it was and I said, "It tasted good going down but now it's rampaging around in my stomach."

    I know I have told this one before, but.....
    As you know, I live less than 3 miles from Solvang ( heading there in half an hour to get a mani-pedi with my niece) and my favorite tho now defunct neighborhood bar there had T-shirts and aprons with the logo: "SOLVANG, A QUAINT DRINKING VILLAGE WITH A SLIGHT DANISH PROBLEM"

    Had I known he was shutting down I sooo would have asked him for one of those shirts! Makes me laugh just thinking about it!

    It's the end of the week...
    ...and I do my grocery shopping on Saturday mornings, so the fridge was a little bare this morning when I went to grab something to bring with me to work for breakfast. Ended up with two single-serving containers of cottage cheese and a banana...and a Pepsi, my morning drug of choice.

    And peanut butter toast ROCKS! If you want to step it up a notch, try it with Trader Joe's sunflower seed butter instead -- that's actually what I had for lunch.

    Oh Boy!
    Kathi does that mean I may actually feel like food on Sunday. Yeh! We are picking up a Costco chicken and my daughter is making mashed potatoes and gravy to go with on our way home from chemo. I'll ride around in the cute little go-cart. We're looking at home-made chx noodle soup tomorrow. Maybe I can having sausage and biscuits on Sun. Yum! Lola

    Yup....
    I always had my infusions on Wednesday, Thursday was my 'hampster in a wheel day' (SUPER energy from the anti-nausea steriods), Friday afternoon thru Sunday morning was fairly narly...but then, Sunday morning later (after 5 am..lol) it was GLORIOUS!!!! I could EAT again!!! Then Monday, for lunch, I always had a big turkey sandwich from a chain in So California called Farmer Boys...2 inches of shaved turkey...mmmmmmm!

    Hang in there, dear soul!

    Hugs, Kathi
