Too busy for health? or too lazy....

So the one thing that I've noticed with my Husband is that he runs out the door to meetings every morning, forgetting to grab anything for breakfast, later to find a charge from McDonald's or Jack in the Box present on my banking statement.  I cannot even begin to tell you how important starting the day off with a healthy breakfast is!  Eating a healthy breakfast not only jump starts your metabolism for the day, but it reduces your hunger throughout the day.  I know it's not easy to whip up some scrambled eggs, toast and fruit everyday, so here is a simple recipe that is great for an on the go person such as my Husband.  Pair with a piece of fruit, or a non-fat/low fat plain Greek yogurt for a complete meal! I like to spread them with a tablespoon or so of unsweetened apple sauce or homemade apple butter.
