Breakfast ~ Corn Grits & Wheat Porridge

You've heard it many times before that breakfast is a crucial meal of the day. The name itself "break fast" is the first meal after an extended time without food. When my previous night's dinner is completed before 7 PM, you tend to wake up hungry. On those mornings, having a grain-based meal can be incredibly satisfying. There are many grains to choose from, but among them, corn grits and wheat grain are quick to prepare. Combine them with freshly prepared vegetables to round out the meal.

Reaching for a bowl of cereal or popping a bagel into the toaster may seem the quickest way to go when you have to rush out the door. However, this meal only takes 15 minutes to prepare and can be done as you're getting everything ready in the morning. Make this and you'll be less apt to stop for doughnuts and coffee on the way to the office!
