If you want the car to go, you have to put gas in the tank. We are no different. If you want enough fuel to run your day, start with a healthy breakfast. And I emphasize the "healthy" part. Breakfast is incredibly important for a successful day. I ate breakfast as a kid only if Apple Jacks and Frosted Flakes counts as breakfast. Either that or my mother would make me what she called "dropped eggs on toast,” which she loved to make and I thought was amazing and it was wonderful every time. Another favorite, still today, is french toast.

​

But as I grew up and headed out into life, I acted like breakfast became less and less important. Thank god for brunch on the weekends in my 20's. That is when I ate well and learned how much I enjoyed the wonderfulness of fresh fruit. Brunch in one of the many hotels in Boston with friends was fun, but I still wasn't eating breakfast properly during the week.
