      This morning I ate English Muffins smeared with avocado packed with lots of Omega 3s in place of butter or margarine for breakfast. It was so delicious.

            We love to incorporate salmon into our weekly diet. There are so many recipes out there. Always fun to try new ones. Enjoy nuts on top as well.

                My favorite snack is black olives so it's easy to rack up the omega 3!
