So, about 18 months ago I made a commitment to myself to improve my health. Overall, I’ve been very successful, except in the exercise arena (that’s a subject for another post entirely). However, I’ve run into a bit of a breakfast rut.
I have steel cut oats cooked in 1% milk on weekdays and yogurt on weekends. This is my menu about 95% of the time. The oatmeal is filling and easy to make (it takes awhile to cook, but I can leave it unsupervised while I do other things). It can just be . . . well, boring, really. It’s just so simple and I’m so used to it that I don’t try other things. I’m a vegetarian of sorts- the pesco-lacto-ovo sort, to be exact- so that limits my options somewhat. Although, to be honest, laziness and inertia limit my options more.
So, this is a plea for ideas! What do you eat for breakfast? Are you like me in that you want something relatively fast and simple? Do you get into ruts as well? And, most selfishly and importantly, can you help me?
