Saturday Cranberry BSI


Cranberry Mango Breakfast Bread
I lined my 9x9 pan with foil to keep from having to wash it!

2 cups Flour ( i used an organic whole grain AP)
1 cup sugar ( i used brown)
1 teaspoon salt
1 and 1 /2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 T ground Flax
Mix all these dry ingredients together

1 cup frozen mango, heated until mushy
3/4 cup applesauce
1 egg ( I used 1/4 cup better 'n eggs)
3/4 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt

Mix all these wet ingredients together, add to dry mix.
Add 1 and 1/2 cups fresh cranberries ( or thawed frozen)

Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes ( I used a toaster oven so... times may vary)

So I took the photo of the bread friday, but my camera battery needed charged saturday and I was super dissapointed because I had yummy meals! I had a slice of this slice of Cranberry Mango Breakfast Bread ( I made it friday evening) and a banana for breakfast before heading to work for the day (training).. and then Jeff made us salads with leftover pork and yummy veggies.

I remembered to grab the camera before we headed out to the local hangout bar for some football watching.... and...
Blue Moon!
I had this guy ( with extra oranges!) plus another half while we watched the penn state game and hurricanes game.

Scrambled Egg Whites ( Egg Whites Only and BetterN Eggs Brands)- 1/2 cup
I added leftover dinner from last night( just one S. Potato slice, with crumles)
A mini TJ Whole Wheat tortilla


And... Frozen fruit thawed in the microwave... Strawberries, Blueberries and Mango- I added (1/3 cup) Uncle Sam's Cereal for fiber and flax-


I enjoy Uncle Sam's Cereal because it has whole bran flakes and whole flaxseeds- I can take the time to grind up the flaxseeds as I chew, which makes me eat slower and enjoy the meal more!

Flaxseeds are more "bioavailable" when ground- ( they WILL come out in your poo if the seeds are not ground b/c they are somewhat indigestible). Way to learn something new about your poo!


Getting ready for the Ortho knee appt...

The health insurance I have now should cover it no problem- however I have an outstanding bill apparently of $364 for my first visit for my knee for some reason- I have to now call UHC to re-process the claim again Sigh.. which means a higher phone bill too ..
