*********************************************************************************************
Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I think about is food.

Actually, I lied, first it's, "Baby Boo, why are we getting up SO flippin' early?!!"...
And THEN I think about food.
I open the fridge.
Then I open the cupboard.
And then I become overwhelmed. There are so many options, and I want to have a little of everything. A breakfast buffet if you will.
I want toast, and eggs, and pancakes, and fresh juice, and fruit, and green drinks, and muffins, and PB, and chocolate...
"Lay off me I'm starving!!"
But, I usually, almost always have a green smoothie.
I know it's boring, but as much as I would love to whip up my dream breakfast buffet, I have about a 5-10 minute window to make something and then be on Mommy duty. I have to save "special" breakfast for day's like Mother's Day and Birthdays.
I know. Lucky Right.
But sometimes there are more important things to do, like play with your daughters hair.

I know that little rat tail may mean nothing to you, but when your daughter has been bald for 11 months, this is a big deal.

I'm already thinking about curling irons, and braids, and pony's and buns, and bows and bobby pins..
Simple pleasures, you know?
Too bad I don't put that much effort into my hair.

Or my appearance for that matter.
See..no time for breakfast buffet!
So what's a Starvin' Marvin' supposed to do when a whippity quick Green drink ain't what you cravin'? (Where on earth did that slang come from?

3. Then, take a regular coffee/cocoa mug and spray with cooking spray. Pour your batter in the mug. Make sure it's a big enough mug.

Or, if your like me and drop it all over the floor, your mug can be teeny tiny since most of the batter is now trash :)

(These also make for GREAT kids breakfast/snacks as well!!)
Ok, so I may be one of the few who dreams of stuffing my face from the moment I open my eyes, but I promise you, I am doing my body a favor.
Did you know??
Eating a healthy and well balanced breakfast in the morning:
-Helps boost your metabolism, thus helping you loose your jiggly bum bum.
-Gives you the energy to start your day, avoiding fatigue-ness by lunch.
-Less likely to crave 'unnhealthy' foods to snack on to curb those hunger pains.
-Helps you think and focus better.
All pretty important I think.
Especially the part about fatigue-ness.

hmmm...
Is it morning yet?? I'm starving!!
