If I were ever gonna preach to you about anything, it’s that you need to eat something in the morning within an hour of waking. How you start your day will affect the decisions you make all day, at least when it comes to food. |

This week instead of cooking I focused on some healthy convenience foods to get me through meal times without resorting to eating out. By the time I get home I feel pretty flattened and have no brain power to cook, which is why this meal requires little mental circuitry to prepare. |

I thought I’d show you how to make your own Greek style yogurt for half of what you spend on the little 5.3 ounce cups. It’s really easy and requires little culinary skill. |

Greek yogurt is enjoying a surge in popularity, so I’ve spent the past few days sampling different brands. After some trial and error, I’ve learned the trick to Greek yogurt: don’t stir it. |

I’ll admit it, I’m guilty of fitting into a female stereotype: I eat yogurt every day. It’s got calcium for my bones, active cultures to help with tummy trouble, and it holds me over in the morning until I can get to second breakfast (I’ll explain another time). |

Since I left the free-cake-and-baked-good mine field of MD Anderson, I’ve been so proud of my ability to resist the lesser temptations presented at my new gig. This morning the email that would remind me of my mortality popped into my mailbox. In celebration of the grand opening of our new cafeteria the chef had prepared FREE CAKE. |
