Slap me down, silly good!

While watching college football Saturday, they highlighted a local family owned diner, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. (The Alabama quarterback was filmed there in a pre-game segment where he and his dad ate every Friday morning.) It brought back memories being in the army in Alabama and some weekends driving many miles looking for any truck stop that served potatoes with breakfast, not just grits. In one small town we ordered french fries in a diner after being told by the waitress that potatoes weren't on the breakfast menu. She acknowledged they have french fries and relented to start some earlier than usual. She mumbled "Yankees!" and put the order in. We did not return to that diner.

Breakfast, the best two meals of the day! (FACT: If you enjoy a really good, big & hearty breakfast, you don't really need a lunch, thereby consuming less calories all day.)

Did you know that pure maple syrup has no added sugars or flavoring? (Vermont syrup, of course.)

This all looks so good.

Some a little less healthy than others, otherwise known as the comfort food.

Carol would get the oatmeal. (she's good)

Feel good breakfasts. Blueberries are one of the best berries for us to eat. What better way than on waffles? ~ This is one of my favorite breakfasts. The always popular, bacon and eggs.

I'm thankful for an friend from the old 16th ward. As soon as the blessing had been said, he'd exclaim, "Let's eat!" Thanks Ron Oldson, for helping me enjoy life.

EAT AND ENJOY LIFE. EAT HEALTHY AND ENJOY A BETTER LIFE. (so we're told, anyway.)
