Being a vegetarian for more than eleven years, people are always asking me...BUT WHAT DO YOU EAT? Hopefully this blog will give readers some insight into the world of vegetarianism, and inspire those teetering but afraid of lack of food choices, to take that final step.

What did YOU have for breakfast this morning?

The past few days...I've been having this for breakfast.
How do you make this? This is a really well-balanced and nutritious breakfast to give you a lot of energy to start the day.
-1 cup of O's like Cherios or Traders Joe O's
-1/2 cup of Bob's Red Mill Granola-Apple/Blueberry
-4 strawberries, chopped
-1 kiwi, chopped
-handful of blueberries or bananas, chopped
-1 tbsp of toasted almond slices
-1 tbsp Shiloh Farms shredded organic unsweetened coconut
-Pacific unsweetened organic almond milk

I am new to almond milk, and wanted to give it a try since my cousin Daria McDermott raves about drinking it in her coffee, frothed with a touch of cinnamon. I really love this in my cereal, but not so much in my coffee. I need to try frothing it because it naturally separates when you put it in the coffee.

I also got a lovely round semolina bread from the Parisi Bakery in Astoria, NY with sesame seeds, and I have been eating slices of this for breakfast with Italian Alce Nero Organic Cherry Fruit Spread. It has no pectin or high fructose corn syrup- just pure fruit.
