When Im at work I would have an western omelette sometimes Ill eat oatmeal with raisins and hot tea with milk (thats the Yankee in me) I use Splenda.At home I tend to eat smaller portions of what I feed the kids. generally I dont work weekends and and try to cook a large meal so that the kids well have food when Im at work last week we had Roast pork shoulder with rice and mixed vegtables, the kids love my cornbread...and so do I. We dont eat alot of raw foods mainly due to price and time to get to the market
