Oh so good breakfast!

Maybe this has been common knowledge and I just catching on.  I have always loved peanut butter toast, and sometimes I slice a banana to top it all off.  This week I have been adding a healthy sprinkle of cinnamon on top of both the peanut butter and the sliced banana.  Starting with whole wheat toast, and it makes for a delicious healthy breakfast!

First post - Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken soup!

Trying a new twist on one of our family favorites - chicken noodle soup. This time I grilled the chicken on my George Foreman grill (we are having tropical storm warnings here) seasoned with lemon pepper. I also added way more veggies to this soup than I normally do. It smells heavenly, and tastes delish!

INGREDIENTS
3 chicken breasts, seasoned with 1.5 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1.5 tsp lemon pepper then grilled until cooked through. Cool, then chop.
