BuffyBear's Journal, 26 February 2012

It is a beautiful Sunday but cold. DH had set our fountain up for the season and it is half frozen - but actually very pretty with the ice glistening in the sun.

As for my breakfast problem, I have decided to make up some packets of flax meal cereal to take to work so all I have to is add water. Thanks to all who suggested I try it.

I also have a fantastic "ready to go" snack recipe using my egg poacher. Break the eggs into the cups and sprinkle them with salt, pepper and bacon bits, then poach until the yolk is firm. The flavor penetrates the egg, and best of all - NO PEELING!

Now that breakfast is under control I have the feeling this will be a great week. Wishing you all the same.

Bren - If you are referring to the Eggies - don't waste your money. I bought them, tried them twice and threw them into the garbage where they belong. The egg poacher I bought is a covered frying pan with a non-stick tray that sits on top to hold the eggs. As long as you spray the cups with cooking spray the eggs slide right out. I ordered mine from Amazon but you can buy them in any kitchen store.

I have a great peanut butter flax meal cereal that hits the spot on cold winter mornings. Your water fountain sounds beautiful. And yum on the poached eggs. I just looked at a microwave poacher yesterday and wondered if that was something I could use at work. Have a great Sunday!

I would love to find an egg poacher. I had one when I was a younger homemaker... it was just a little 3 egg poacher on top of a shallow saucepan that you filled halfway with water. ... and the lid. Loved that on buttered toast... but whaaaaaa... not eating bread now... so! I like your idea of throwing stuff in it while cooking. Great idea! I began eating flax but since read it could possible be linked to cancer in men.... not women, though. I figured why risk it and quit eating it. Just a bit of info for you. I know, I am full of depressing news...sorry. Keep eating those eggs! ;)

Davidsmom - haven't tried the peanut butter recipe yet, but I keep peanut butter at work so that wouldn't be a problem. Thanks!

Mom2Boxers - Think I used to have that same egg poacher! I eventually wore the thing out and it has only taken me 20 years to replace it. Amazon has lots of styles but the one I ordered holds 6 eggs.

I moved around a lot and think I lost some of the parts to it so it got ditched sometime ago. I will check out Amazon. Thanks!

Heather - if it wasn't for you I never would have tried the flax cereal. Thanks again.

Hi Buffy! The sun and fountain sounds awesome! Glad you have your breakfast figured out! It is so important to start the day out right. Let me know how you like the flax meal cereal. I've never tried it but sounds great! Hope you had a fabulous day! Enjoy your week! Hugs!

That's great, Buffy. I love my flax cereal more than my oatmeal even (and I love my oatmeal). Unfortunately the carbs in the oatmeal are more useful for my training, so I only get to eat the flaxseed cereal when I don't work out in the morning (not so often these days). Ah well, such is life sometimes. Love your planning mode. You're doing great.
