Breakfast Fat Blaster Quiz
My beloved and I had a Micky D breakfast this morning so I could drop my van off to silence squeaky brakes. We ordered Sausage Biscuit with eggs and Hash browns. I could pour tomato catsup on to ingest the healthy carotenoid, lycopene. The meal was smooth and fatty.

Want to guess what favorite breakfast foods beats off fat?
a. Oatmeal, milk, and raisins
b. Waffles, cream, and fresh strawberries
c. Eggs with jellied whole wheat toast
d. Bacon and a bowl of grits
e. Bagels and cream cheese

CHICKEN SQUARE PUFFS
Here's a treat from a Pittsburgh e-mail pal, thanks to the Pillsbury Dough boy as well. You could buy cold rotisserie chicken, skin and debone the meat for a double recipe. Serve with a salad of greens. Yum!

1 Tablespoon of butter, softened

Separate dough into 4 rectangles. Firmly press perforations to seal. Spoon 1/2 Cup chicken mixture onto center of each rectangle. Pull four corners of dough to center of chicken mixture; twist firmly. Pinch the edges to seal. Place on an un-greased cookie sheet.

With pastry brush, brush tops of sandwiches with 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Sprinkle with crushed croutons.
