A Nutrition Kick

In addition to exercise, I'm trying to eat more fruits and vegetables-- I'm ashamed to say that a couple of days can go by without eating any vegetables!  The cooking life of a grad student includes an abundance of cereal and pasta.  After I come home from school and work, I'm exhausted-- plus I need to start working on projects and homework-- there's just not a lot of time and enthusiasm to cook.  Lots of onions, noodles, and canned sauce.  No more.

I loved my breakfast today-- no cereal!  Not to say anything negative about cereal, which I love (shredded wheat, yum), but sometimes, a change is needed.  Apparently, pineapple is nutritionally awesome, despite being high in sugar.  According to the online internets, pineapple has high amounts of vitamin C and manganese, a mineral that is reportedly good in all things health.

I wish I could eat leisurely like this every morning, but unfortunately, I usually wake up and rush out the door just 25 minutes later!

Avocado, Pineapple, and Yogurt.  Don't forget the coffee!  Yum.
Recommendation of the day:  Lately, I've been addicted to this food blog.  Check it out!  I especially love the posts about food eaten at home since it seems like something I could follow!
