     I can't stress enough the importance starting your day off with a good breakfast. It is easier than people think and I have the perfect simple solution: 5 eggs, 5 egg whites. 1/4 bell pepper 1/4 onion 1/2 cup baby spinach 1/2 cup mushrooms Ham or pre cooked bacon (I like mine crispy so I cook it in the microwave for about a minute) Blend the eggs and veggies together. Cook as individual "patties" or as scrambled eggs and store in screw top ziploc containers, about 5 servings, and top with either the ham or two slices of bacon. Heat for 45 seconds in the morning and boom breakfast is served!!!

Yes I know it's been awhile since I have posted a cheat day. With the way life has been going lately I guess I have just gotten side tracked.      Yesterday me and my girls ventured to a lovely local bakery(Paul's) and got some Donuts. I love a good donut, and I love a good danish. I and not a big fan of Krispy Kreme or DD though. Where I come from the best donuts are the mom and pop fried and glazed donuts. I love a good ole' fashioned fried donut that does not come off some assembly line. I highly suggest that one day you venture out and do the same and hit up your favorite local donut shop!! I promise to get back on track the best I can this week enjoy the lovely weekend!!!

Very simple recipe - Get some large potatoes and bake them in the oven, make sure to sprinkle some sea salt and Olive Oil on them and wrap in foil. At the same time STEAM some chicken breast or use Rachael Ray's recipe below.  - Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place in a heavy pot with the onion, garlic and just enough water to cover (about 1-1/2 cups). Add the barbecue sauce, vinegar and a few drops hot sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the sauce and shred with two forks. I prefer to steam the chicken because you lose nutrients when you boil it. Anyways after cooking the chicken "shred it and put in a bowl with some BBQ sauce. I like Stubbs or Sticky fingers (Wal-Mart). Take the potatoes out and cut them in half, then gut the potatoes into a bowl leaving the skins intact. Add some butter, sour cream or cream cheese, whipping cream, and some chopped bacon, chiv...

     Ingredients: 1 large pork butt roast(4 lbs or so) or pork shoulder 1 can black beans drained and rinsed 1 can red kidney beans drained and rinsed 1 can fire roasted tomatoes drained 1 can rotel drained 4 cans tomato sauce 1 onion chopped 6-8 sliced of bacon cooked and chopped 8 oz water 1  can corn drained Two Carroll Shelby's chili kits(2lbs per kit) Get a large crock pot and put your pork in on low heat for about 8 hours, high heat 4 hours, low is better....just let it cook over night or all day. I like to season it with a little liquid smoke and some BBQ seasoning rub. You will know it is down when you try to pull it out and it just falls apart on you. Once you "pull it" completely apart in the crock pot let it rest in the juice for about ten minutes no heat. After that pull the meat out into a bowl or pan and drain the juices. Add the meat back to the crock pot and then combine all the ingredients and let it cook for about 1 & 1/2 to 2 hours...

    How could something so simple be such a delightful meal? I enjoy a masterful grilled cheese every now and then but i like to make it a little more "artisan." Ingredients Two pieces of quality bread like bakery sourdough or Pepperidge farm hearty multi grain 4 tbsp spoon whipped butter or sweet cream butter unsalted 2 slices provolone 2 slices american 2 slices cheddar or colby jack or whatever the cheese you like, the more the better!!! KEY: First melt the butter completely in the pan and then let the bread lay on top and soak it in until it becomes toasty on that side. if the butter turns brown your pan is too hot. Then flip the bread and lay the cheese on and let it melt, then combine the to pieces and let the sandwich form into a gooey cheesy mess!!!
