Question

without pork because i dont eat it...:)

Answer 1

I invented this one and it's really good.

couple handfuls of blueberries

1 or 2 sliced pears

sprinkled over with cinnamon and nutmeg

sprinkle a bit of salt

1 or 2 tbsp butter

1 tsp vanilla

1 or 2 tbsp honey (optional)

you cook it in a pan 10 minutes or so till it's all hot.  This is soo good. It tastes kind of like apple crisp without the crisp so it's healthier.  Yet it is still kind of crispy.

Answer 4

Fiber is very important to your health. Here are some good ideas for meals filled with fiber that you enjoy  through out the day.You have to start the day with good fiber cereal,I recommend any Kassia cereal because it has no high fructose corn syrup( I like the Cocoa Beach),also try uncle Sam's( has flax seeds in it )you can mix those two to make a great cereal.For lunch, dark green veggies in a salad will do.Try to make sure you always get a salad with avocado. Eat plenty of nuts through-out the day(walnuts and almonds-raw),maybe some greek yogurt with honey. Greek yogurt has good live enzymes that aid digestion..For dinner, you can eat just about what ever you want,just eat good strong healthy meal.Try eating Brown rice with  dinner lots of steamed greens.What ever you do dont microwave anything,this changes the molecular structure of the food and your body does not recognize,in result it takes longer to digest. Then you start all over the next day..Remember,always eat happy, never upset.Your body will reward you...Good luck
