What Is The Best Breakfast Food For Staying Healthy?
I have to admit that the breakfast plate you see here, of Bacon, Sausage, Baked Beans, Fried Egg and Bubble & Squeak (left over potatoes and vegetables fried up in the skillet) isn't that healthy, but this is the type of breakfast most of us of my generation grew up with in England.
I also grew up with Bread and Dripping, dripping being the fat and juices collected from the roasting pan after our Sunday Roast. This was let to go cold in a bowl, and you would spread the fat onto bread or toast, ideally finding a nice lump of jellied gravy at the bottom, topping with salt and white pepper. Now I have to admit that this was something the little porky me looked forward to in the morning, but apart from the fact it's completely unhealthy, nowadays it's hard to find a roast large enough to give some decent dripping.
These days I usually start the day at home with a glass of Orange Juice, then when I get to work I have a Banana and a mug of Green Tea. About an hour later I have a good bowl of Oatmeal, with Apple Sauce in it. This saves having to add sugar. Sometimes I substitute Honey though for the Apple Sauce.
So that is my way of staying healthy, filling up with good warming filling food.
I am curious to find what you deem to be a good way to start the day, or are you a Cappuccino, Bagel or Donut person?

- Great work! I've been eating cottage cheese lately to try and cut down on calories (yuck). I'm not a big fan of it, but there's a lot of protein in it, and it's very low calorie. You can make it taste better depending on what you add to it --- maple syrup, etc.
