More plants please....

This winter I've done alot of research into nutrition & it is changing the way we eat.  We still push the SONIC button sometimes when schedules get crazy & I haven't prepared well, but for the most part we are trying to eat meals packed with plants!!

This is the inside of Wayne's lunch quesadilla before I put it in the skillet.  I forgot the olives, even though I had pulled them out of the refrigerator & had them sitting on the counter, isn't that always the way?
I added refried beans, spinach & sliced avocado, plus his favorite habanero hot sauce.  He is happy without the cheese, so I don't even add it. There's a thousand options for packing a nutritious quesadilla & it's so great as a lunch food or before game snack.

This is our new breakfast.  We basically cram every whole grain we have in the house, some nuts, plus tons of fresh fruit into one bowl, stir & eat.
This bowl has one whole banana, golden raisins, fresh blueberries, pecans, uncooked old fashioned oats, all-bran, ground flax seeds & chia seeds.  Tony adds a little peanut butter or milk to his. This one bowl is packed with essential nutrients, plus it keeps us filled up for & ready for the day!

The cool thing about eating this way is that your body really does begin to crave these foods over the less nutritious choices.  Keep watching for more things we try & love.
