breakfast help.

can't stand sweet oats so mixed mine with spices and chilly - broke 3 eggs inside, a bit of water and boiled - makes you a sort of tasty and thick scrambled eggs.

I am not a fan of "breakfast food," except as a treat for dinner. I usually eat left overs for breakfast. Today, however, I had a Costco chicken & Swiss roller.

If your goal is to improve your cholesterol numbers and control your blood pressure, do both cardio and lifting. That's very effective.

I often have the same. Two sunny side up eggs with a plate full of pan fried zucchini, mushrooms and/or spinach. I use different spices every day but curry is my fav.

Because of cholesterol issues, I promised my doctor to have oatmeal (and flaxseeds and fish oil) every single day. I'm not nuts about the texture of oatmeal, and the taste is rather absent. So I've been playing around with turning oats into tortillas, pancakes, and lately into muffins. If you're interested, here's my latest experiment, which turned out nicely:

1.5 cups of oat flour
1.5 cups of oat bran
2 tablespoons each of ginger and cinnamon
.25 teaspoons each of baking powder and baking soda

6 ounces of old bananas, aching to be used before they expire
3 eggs
.25 cup honey
.25 cup olive oil
about a teaspoon each of vanilla extract and orange extract
2 cups of water

Some dark chocolate chips and some sunflower seeds

Because oats love to drink up liquid, honey works better here than sugar; and olive oil works better than butter (at least solid butter, I'm sure melted would work well).

While I combined the dry ingredients, I preheated the oven to 400 degrees (while the cats stared at the heat building up, and communicated: "You have GOT to be kidding. In this weather?!"). Then I tossed the bananas and wet ingredients in my brand new Vitamix, turned the machine up to about 5 or 6 and let it froth up for a minute or so.

Then I poured it into the dry stuff and mixed it gently, as if I were preparing an angel food cake instead of a hearty muffin mixture. Distributed the mixture in a muffin tin, and the leftover (about a cup's worth) into a small loaf pan. At half-cup measures being the equivalent of 1 serving, I got about 14 servings. Everything into the oven for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool for about 15 minutes, and store in the fridge.

I had one this morning, along with my Vitamix serving of strawberries and banana. Total calories about 340. 8 fibers, 10 proteins. 832 potassium! And only 155 sodiums. Not a bad deal...

Scrambled eggs with onion, spinach, and tomato.
Sometimes smoothies: 1 cup almond milk, 1 cup ice, 1 cup frozen berries, 1 cup spinach

My cholesterol went from 216 to 198 in a few months just by cutting out the butter, cheese, bacon, sausage, and changing my ground beef to ground turkey. I only 18 pts left to go to get to 180!!

I had two eggs scrambled with mushroom, tomato, onions, and bell pepper.
