Red, White and Bluberries

Just for fun...
It's a bee--ee--a-yoo-tiful day here in the SLC and I got my morning off to a rockin start with this gem: Nature's Path fig and flax, cottage cheese, cinnamon and some very patriotic fruits. It's neither that original nor that photogenic, but I thought it was adorable and quite festive :) My husband laughed at me, but I think he was just sad I didn't make his breakfast all fab and fruity too. I can't wait until I have kids so I can do this sort of goofy food fun all the time--loves it! Happy 4th!

Easy Like Sunday Morning aka Waffle Review #2

Sunday morning calls for waffles, yeah? These babies are nice and thick with lots of flax seeds winking out from the waffle wells (say that five times fast).


When I broke off a little taste, I discovered that there are gooey chunks of fig in there as well. Yum!

I was kind of hoping that these would taste like Fig Newtons, but no go. They didn't smell quite as amazing as the last ones I tried, but they still tasted great!I would recommend toasting these a little longer than normal to bring out the nuttiness in the flax seeds.

I was particularly excited about these for the addition of the Omega-3 healthy fats, hoping they will be a good stay-full breakie option. Each 2-waffle serving has 7 g fat, 4 g fiber and 4 grams protein, with 160 calories. Not bad.

I topped mine with a few blueberries and a drizzle of maple syrup and then snarfed them down easy like Sunday morning.
