We are thinking maybe …..
1- french toast casserole
2- pancakes with walnuts & strawberries
3- yougurt, honey & berries
4- oatmeal w dates & berries

5- in yogurt
One large peach, has just 68 calories and no fat. Eating peaches instead of more processed snacks, such as chips, baked goods, cereal bars and cookies, can help you manage your weight. Peaches are naturally sweet, no corn syrup so it can replace some of the added sugars in your diet.
Loaded with antioxidants in the flesh and skin of peaches. One of the major antioxidants in peaches, chlorogenic acid, helps flush out free radicals compounds that your body stores through exposure to pollutants from food and the environment. It also reduces the effects of aging and chronic diseases. This antioxidant may also keep you safe from cancer, provides eye health, and reduces body inflammation.

We are skipping breakfast, and mostly ending up with a cup of coffee before starting our day.
Eating breakfast balances and replenishes our blood sugar in the morning, which helps our muscles and brain to work better.
