Wake up Feeling Healthy

   Now to begin my list of recipes let me start at the beginning of the day. Breakfast traditionally is not a very big ordeal. You grab something small on the way out of the door. But let me tell you now, that is NOT the way to go. We have it backwards, because we generally eat large dinners instead. Breakfast should actually be your largest meal of the day. You have you entire day ahead of you to burn the calories that you consume during breakfast.

Perfect example of what not to do

   Do not get me wrong and eat absolutely enormous sizes of breakfast because I told you to increase your amounts. Still eat a normal amount! Just don't forget that you need to eat breakfast too:)And don't eat huge dinners, your body doesn't burn as many calories in the evening just plainly because we slow down and don't do as much. A general rule to live by is eat like a King at dinner, a Prince at lunch, and a Pauper at dinner.

   A great way to start the morning is with a bowl of oatmeal. Oatmeal is incredibly good for you, and with the right seasoning is extremely tasty. The problem is more often then not the "right" seasoning consists of butter, brown sugar, and other high calorie and fat items.

yummy and sugary and gooey and....

   This upcoming recipe I am about to share with you is not only delicious, but has that very nice healthy factor to it. Here is the recipe for my own creation called: Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal. It is tasty because of the sweetness the apple and cinnamon adds, but also completely good for you. Plus it is filling so you don't want to eat large amounts of it.

See it doesn't look that bad

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup already cooked oatmeal

1 apple chopped into thicker squares

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

   Yes my friends, it is that easy. I hope that you can enjoys this not only in taste. but also in the way you feel once you get rid of the unnecessary sugar and have a guilt free meal.   

Getting to Know the Author :)

Hey!! I thought as long as you guys are reading this blog, you should know a little bit about the person writing it.

This is me at one of my friends birthday party:)

 My full name is Audrey Isabella Mason, and I am a 14 year old girl from various places around the world. I have lived in many places during the span of my small life so it would be hard to tell you exactly where I am from. Some of these places include Tanzania, Kenya, and a Ship....yes I used to live on a ship. I have  a loving family of my Mom, Dad, and my brother and sister; Cole and Alice.

My favorite things to do vary quite a bit. I love to be involved with drama....as in the the school play, not girls at each others throats. Right now I am in the process of helping/being apart of the play Pirates of Peznzance. If you have not seen that play yet, you really should. It is hilarious. I also enjoy camping, white water rafting, and rock climbing.

Now a huge thing on my list of important is things is being healthy. I used to be the type of girl that would eat anything she wanted and did not worry about the consequences. I am now a completely changed woman. My diet has completely changed. And because my diet has changed, so has my life style. I find I am happier, and just more comfortable with myself. That is why I wanted to make this blog to post recipes that can help you guys too, if you want to try and be healthy. I am about to start going gluten-free so a lot of these recipes will be gluten-free as well. I hope you enjoy these recipes as you and me come to get and know them together. Because in the long run it is not the candy and junk that makes you feel comfortable with yourself. It is the healthy things.
