I hope everyone that had celebrates labor day had a wonderful long weekend. For those of you that don't I hope you had a nice weekend. My headache is finally gone and I can think straight again. That is always a great feeling but when I feel better I do extensive projects. I think I am starting my total organization month now and I fill you in later how it went.
I wanted to share two things that I find very useful in my life. The first thing I am sharing with you is that Sundays and Wednesdays are the days that I do my juicing, yogurt making, hard boiled egg making and smoothie making. I find that these two days work great because of farmer's markets and the three day rule of making my smoothies and juices. Orange Juice I end up making almost every other day but that is because it takes alot of orange to make juice for my 5 juice drinking family. I also make my green smoothie on those days. Kefir making is everyday and the hard boil eggs sometimes can be that frequently too.
The next thing I want to share with you is that our breakfast is our most important meal of the day. We usually start it off with a yogurt or kefir with some homemade granola and organic blueberries, a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice, one hard boil egg plus or minus the egg yolk (I am usually just an egg white protein sort of person). I make a whole grain hot organic cereal (oat bran, cream of wheat, cream of brown rice, oatmeal etc.). On Sunday nights I like to crockpot the steel oatmeal overnight so it is ready in the morning which gives me a break from the cooking cereal in the am. The kids usually get a green smoothie which is full of bananas, oranges and spinach. This has totally satisfied all my eaters until lunch time. They don't usually get a snack in the am at their school except for my kindergartener. So I am glad that they say they are full till lunch. I really wonder how many other kids aren't absolutely starving by lunch. I guess you can see we have hit on whole grains, yogurt, protein, veggies and fruit in one quick breakfast. My husband and I have alot of food allergies and we find that this breakfast has been good for us too. We don't usually get irritable or spacey brain when we eat like this. I find that if it is sugary or doughy like pancakes of french toast our brains and bodies feel like we were hit by a train. I hope this helps some of my MCS friends. My hubby and I also find that certain eggs bring are symptoms up too we had to try different ones that didn't make us feel yukky. I think on this note I am going to call it a night.

Sounds yummy.
Soaking the oatmeal overnight is a good idea, too. Check out the recipe for hot cereal on my blog for info--cuts down morning cook time, too.
Breakfast is my favourite meal. Oh, yum.
