This has been the first morning in a while where I haven’t been hungry just after getting out of bed – or woken up from hunger pangs and gurgles.
Does anyone else experience this?
I always awake with a hefty appetite, for breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I love all the fruit, yogurt, orange juice, bagels, waffles, eggs, and even cottage cheese!
A little background story on the cottage cheese: cottage cheese has always been one of the few foods that I haven’t liked but I’ve finally come to enjoy. I tricked myself into it too. I started by mixing it with an equal amount of vanilla yogurt and dousing it with cinnamon and then gradually adding less and less yogurt until, poof – no need for yogurt! I’m too smart for my own taste buds, I really am.
But anyways, I’ve gotten pretty creative with cottage cheese: blending it up into a smoothie, savory cottage cheese muffins, cottage cheese pancakes, cottage cheese with berries and granola, and piled onto a toasted blueberry bagel with sliced bananas, honey, and cinnamon. I honestly do believe that anything can be healed with honey, cinnamon, and bananas – including a bland meal or facial scrub.
You know what’s delicious on a crispy, crunchy, soft, chewy blueberry bagel? Nope, not cream cheese; no way, not butter; not peanut butter; not Nutella, but nice idea, kiddo; pfff flavored cream cheese – oh no. No, no. This is what’s delicious on that pillowy just-toasted bagel: coconut butter whipped with berries. And cinnamon! {and a banana}
