Random Breakfast Food, Random Post

The ever present bagel.

My love . Paired with my other lover. Old cheddar.

And again . Just because it ‘s so pretty .

Maybe I just love melted cheese. Probably, considering every food photo I see that involves melted cheese leaves me needing to make that recipe right now!

Cheese and bagel love aside , I also rekindled another love.

Cereal .

Oh lord. I know a lot of people have issues with cereal . Some people cannot stop at one bowl so they simply don’t buy it . Others are rigid about the nutritionals and will only eat a specific amount , in an attempt to ward off any attempts at cereal overdose.

I however do not have a cereal problem really, but for probably 10 years I haven’t eaten it or purchased it ( aside from granola used for yogurt or baking purposes ) purely because it doesn’t do anything for me , fuel wise. I feel exactly the same after eating a bowl as I did prior , only with a sloshy stomach because of the milk . Does not quell the hunger beast .

While the cereal lover was beautiful , I don’t think I’ll be partaking in the cereal daily . So my bagel and cheddar need not worry .

I ‘m not one to scoff at too many lovers so I thought it would be nice ( although horridly sunny at 9 am when these photos were taken )to bring in some banana blueberry muffins.

Horrible lighting and thus photos aside, these muffins were soo good and just what I wanted with a mug of green tea.

I used fresh blueberries I had in the fridge and adapted a recipe I found online . I ended up with this : ( well and yummy muffins)

Banana Blueberry Muffins

  • 1 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 
  • 1/4 cup wheat bran
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup Becel Light ( you could use Smart Balance or something similiar or actual butter )
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 ripe bananas 
  • 1/3 cup banana yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries

Cream together sugar , becel and maple syrup .Add in egg , mashed banana and vanilla and yogurt.

Mix together dry ingredients , and slowly add to wet. Stir in blueberries. Spoon into greased or papered muffins tins. Cook at 350 for 10-16 minutes or until tops are golden . Removed from pan immediately and set on wire rack to cool.

  1. Publix scones (they have some icing glaze on top and are the perfect dryness, yet not so dry you cant swallow. Special K bars (I know, mostly sugar and not filling at all), strong coffee, preferably with a packet of Splenda and dash of Coffee Creations (I think it's called) caramel latte creamer-milk and cream combo. Or I stop by Starbucks on the way to school and grab a small nonfat latte, extra espresso shot. Sometimes I get it iced, packet of splenda, sometime with a drizzle of caramel topping. Well this was longer than expected.
