Sue, you are an amazing awesome cook. I noticed in another thread that you said you had lost some weight. Ever since I started eating more carbs I can't seem to do that. How did you lose weight with all the yummy stuff you make?

I do a lot of baking, but, I don't eat much of it. I may bake a whole cake and have one piece and give the rest away. I eat anything I want, but not a great big bunch. Only eat when I am hungry. I don't always eat supper, if I do it may be just some cereal and then it is earlier than most of you would have your meal. I go to bed early and get up a little early. I am pretty busy too. I have not tried to lose weight. I don't weigh myself. Only weigh at the doctor's office. I don't drink many soft drinks. Once in awhile a root beer, or a Hi C or maybe a Coke. Most of the time iced tea, water and whole milk. Sweetened tea is too sweet for me so I get the unsweetened and put Sweet and Low in it. I have used that in my tea for years. That is the only thing I don't use sugar in.

Thanks for the nice comments.

A giant almond poppy seed muffin and grapes. Maybe not the most healthiest of choices but once and awhile you got to indulge.

Mexican Train group coming, and I'm having McDonalds sausage biscuit with a slice of tomato. So mine is brunch. We each bring our own lunch and visit before we play.

I'm cooking a pot of pinto beans. I usually eat brunch. Today....a cup of beans with salsa. :0)

Sue....that breakfast sounds like a treat!

Oatmeal with raisins, and kombucha/ginger fizzy tea. Just finished a snack of cottage cheese.

More like lunch, but I had white long grain rice, cooked, topped with a sprinkle of sugar, ok more than a sprinkle, and covered in whole milk. I don't eat breakfast and generally have something like a bowl of soup with crackers for lunch, but I've not eaten well in a few days so figured I could do with some carbs.

My usual oatmeal with raisins and apple with a cup of coffee.

Egg white with sautéed kale and onion, and a very, very small baked sweet potato.

Georgysmom everything sounds good to me except the coffee. I do not drink coffee. I do eat a variety of things for breakfast. I will even eat potato or macaroni salad for breakfast if I have it :)

I ate my daily ration of high fiber cereal with almond milk, plus a handful of vitamins and minerals.

Scrambled eggs and sausage with toast, orange juice and coffee. We are retired so ours is mostly like brunch too. It has been a scorcher of a summer and we are in the midst of a terrible drought so I don't spend every day digging and planting and playing in my garden. As a result, some days we get by on two meals a day--all we really need.

Wanted to finish off a package of bacon so I made myself a bacon sandwich on toast and had a small glass or orange juice. Wasn't in the mood or hungry enough to have eggs.

I've been making overnight oatmeal (steel cut oats) with greek yogurt, chia seed, vanilla flavoring and almond milk, with fresh fruit added in the morning. So I had one of those this morning. I can make a couple of those ahead so I have another one ready for tomorrow.

Orange juice and orange and citrus mixed, a banana and manufactured cereal (Post? Quaker? "Life"), with milk and cream, and a mug of coffee fixed as the cereal plus sugar.

Had to hurry out the door, carrying the partly-filled coffee mug, to attend the old guys' coffee and conversation hour at the village church, so had double caffeine this morning.

ole joyfuelled ... with some help from coffee (but it doesn't produce much mileage)

I had overnight oatmeal, milk, an orange and coffee. I had mixed apple cinnamon greek yogurt into my cereal, not a type I tried before. I love apple and/or cinnamon but for some reason it didn't seem right with the oatmeal. I think I will stick with my usual yogurt flavors of orange, pineapple or lime.

scrambled eggs with onions, peppers and tomato and a home made currant scone with clotted cream and raspberry & hibiscus jam

Breakfast for us is a cup of coffee, no lunch & then supper. Works for us.

Nearly every day I have a protein shake. I use Dr. Fuhrman's recipe: blueberries and cranberries, nuts and seeds, lemon, avocado, almond butter, almond milk. It is very good and filling and holds me nearly all day, to dinner. If I eat any lunch at all it is raw veggies.

This morning I had oatmeal with assorted berries , blueberries , strawberry , and raspberries .

A spinach - cheese omelette with an English muffin, glass of oj and coffee.

The theme many weekends is using up leftovers, and we're continuing from Saturday (pizza) to Sunday with an egg casserole using lamb merguez sausaage, onions, garlic, mustard greens, provolone and goat milk ricotta.

Side of leftover roasted potatoes (mustard, evoo, seasonings).

Yesterday we ate at Cracker Barrel, late afternoon breakfast. Split a meal with one of the girls. I had a pecan pancake, oh so good! Today it's cream of wheat.

Good morning! Oh my! Everything looks and sounds so good this morning! I woke up early, put a pot of coffee on for the hubby, then we went outside and did chores around the farm then came in and I made homemade pancakes and sausage..
