Adventurous breakfast-ing day 2! And yes, that's a side of cereal you see there (buried under berries). Half a serving actually. Baby steps, right? I realize that my omelet is pretty pathetic looking, I'll just use the excuse that I never cook breakfast so I have no practice. Maybe I should just ... Continue Reading
