Revisiting the blog, I noticed in my intro I clearly state that I will write about other things besides what Zoe eats. Today is that day.
Thought #1: What I eat for breakfast.
I am hungry all the time. And when I don't eat enough, hungry turns into famished. So for those of you that don't need a big breakfast, this is going to sound disgusting. But for those of you who eat a bowl of cereal and still have growling stomachs an hour later. I offer you this:
MY DAILY BREAKFAST
(no oil needed, just toss and brown)
When both sides are browned,
put a sprinkle of shredded cheese on one side and then a big handful of fresh spinach
Flip it over so the spinach is pan side down
Let cook one minute, until spinach is all cooked down.
Addendum:
When I am starving I fry an egg at the same time and throw that on top for extra protein
And to drink I waver between:
V-8 (cause I looooove sodium)
Herbal tea (if the stress is high)
or my new favorite discovery: water spiked with chlorophyll
Thought #2- ChlorOxygen. I am a fan.
I first bought ChlorOxygen because I was having headaches and was always tired. Whenever I told my husband, he would say maybe it was barometric pressure. Men.
Anyway, I was reading about natural cures for altitude sickness one day (that's totally normal light reading for me) and it mentioned chlorophyll. The more I read about Chlorophyll the more I wanted to add it to the regiment.
Here are its highlights:
With a good source of iron, helps to build red blood cells
Increases red blood cells ability to carry oxygen
ie. more energy
Internal deodorizer (esp. good for stubborn funk mouth)
Safe for pregnant ones and little ones
Great for altitude sickness
Tasty
I like the one from Herbs, etc because its made from nettles
I give it to my daughter when she has a headache, I drink it while I workout, I drink it when I crave coffee and my stomach says no coffee. I think you get the idea. Enjoy. OK, next thought....
Thought #3- Something you can't eat
As my daughter gets older, her life is less about what I want and more about who she is. Amazing, really. Every once in a while our desires align and it is sweet. Lately, there is one thing we can agree on- a love of all things fashion.
I recently purchased the following:
These books are crazy fun. For me and her. A rare treat. When I am feeling low key and need to chill, we pull out our books and some fancy colored pencils, throw some Project Runway repeats on Hulu (be forewarned: language is awful on that show) and bond. Highly recommended.
So there you have it. The blog is back up and running. See you all real soon!
