Breakfast of champions?

To make the week more interesting, to eat healthier foods and to vary our diet, we’ve been using a “rolling” breakfast menu for at least the past decade. It all started when my physician tried to spook me about my unacceptable bad cholesterol level. 

We decided to only eat oats for breakfast, but we soon feared that we’d turn into wild horses and began reducing the oat meal ordeal to twice a week intermingled with granola some days, bagels, baguette and of course, some croissants. 

As a matter of fact, we decided that eating croissants would be the centerpiece of our weekend fare, so we’d remember what Saturday and Sunday are, a notion difficult for retirees to clearly keep in mind. That’s how our weekends have become “croissant days” ever since.

This said, we’ve been tweaking our breakfast system along the way depending on the daily emergencies or circumstances, and more recently, as we were unable to find oatmeal cereals at the store, we decide to purely and simply “banish them” and substitute them for much tastier granola. 

So that’s about it; now, you know the rules of our breakfast routine!
