Are you tired of those dinky little health food breakfasts? That cup of yogurt, that meal bar, some fresh fruit, an egg white omelet, whole wheat toast? Tired of a little egg sandwich on a bagel or croissant? Sick of 3 ounces of cottage cheese, or 4 ounces of tofu yuckiness? Of course you are ( Read more... )
