What's new for breakfast for the over 60 crowd? Nuttin Honey!

Ahhhh, it's eggs, or cereal.  Forget the bacon.  (and forget the eggs if you believe they raise your cholesterol)  What's left?  CEREAL.
So we have a storm brewing at the house of El Exigente.  Which cereal is most nutritious?
Well, only the cooked cereals really have any nutrition.   Is the healthiest Granola?  Farina? or Oatmeal?
Granola wins for the most calories.  The more home made, the more calories!
Farina wins for the best texture and some say the best taste.
HOWEVER, after a quick search in cyberspace, the answer is:  OATMEAL!

El Exigente loves farina.  He will not be happy.  While, farina is a great source of iron, it is not a whole grain and therefore cannot be as nutritious as a whole grain (like oatmeal).

The rainfall lately has been on the order of deluge.  The good news is that the water table is up and the rivers are roaring.  The not so good news is that basements fill up with water.  OUCH.

On another weather note, since the first snow, the weather has been rather warm.  It was 70 yesterday in Dartmouth NH as we traveled to visit our favorite cardiologist.  Both weather and medical reports were good.  We ended a beautiful day by picking up our first installment of veggies from the LOCAL CSA we joined.  The veggies are MEGA-BEAUTIFUL.

Can the over 60 folks eat veggies for breakfast??  Would you? Could you? DO YOU?


Got an idea or recipe for breakfast veggies...


DO TELL!
