The Most Important Thing

From NPR - A Better Breakfast Can Boost a Child's Brainpower


Michael: What comes before anything? What have we always said is the most important thing?

George Michael: Breakfast.

Michael: Family.

George Michael: Family, right. I thought you meant of the things you eat.


I create breakfast with oatmeal as my canvas and the following is my paint:

Protein/Fat:

walnuts
peanut butter
sunflower seeds

Fruit:

raisins
dried cherries
fresh or dried blueberries

Sweetness:

maple syrup
honey
brown sugar

The best combination iswalnuts, cherries, and maple syrup on top of the oatmeal. Peanut butter, raisins, and a hint of maple syrup is good too.
