Breakfast challenges

The major challenges in the new eating plan is breakfast.  I feel that if i do not start the day with the right type of breakfast then I will be less successful with the meals for the rest of the day.  

So what if i planned, prepared and packed the right lunch if I eat the wrong breakfast then my taste buds are prepared to eat the same way all day.  It does not matter that i brought thai pad for lunch.  It does not matter that i really enjoy the food i had packed and when i packed i was excited to have it for lunch.  This is all ruined by the tasted of my favorite breakfast sandwich!!.

Is it just me?

So i have began the search for the right breakfast foods that will keep my mind and tastebuds in line.

I truly like quinoa and have decided it will be my go to breakfast food.  Since i will always eat some meat, eggs will always be a part of my diet.  i just will not have eggs, bacon or sausage, cheese and toasted potato bread to make a wonderful breakfast sandwich. …. i have to find a replacement sandwich for that.

One morning i had quinoa, greens (leftovers) with a fried egg  topped with cheese. 


So i have began the search for the right breakfast foods that will keep my mind and tastebuds in line.



this was quite good and filling!


I also try quinoa in other ways as well, i found a lot of breakfast ideas on pinterest.  One of my favorite is  5 minute savory quinoa.  I did not expect it to but it did in time it trigger my acid reflux so i needed to switch up some things.   

I have had  quinoa and oatmeal in a variety of ways based on whatever i could find in my refrigerator.  Sweet potatoes,  peaches,  applesauce, trailmix.



This has been more successful however i still need to find a substitute breakfast sandwich.
