Welcome back to a new school Year!

BUILDING A BETTER BREAKFAST
The lazy days of summer are now behind us and our routine of getting up early and heading off to school are back. Father Bill's Kitchen would like to help remind you on the A, B, C's of a healthy breakfast.  It is really quite easy.  Simply pick an item from at least three of the four food groups each morning to be part of your fast breaking. Vary the foods you combine to make interesting and nutritious morning meals that never get boring.
Here is one of Monsignor William Irwin teacher's, Mrs. Flanagan's, favorite breakfast.

The Breakfast Sundae

Ingredients:
1/4 cup of rolled oats
1/4 cup of water
1 tbsp. of peanut butter
1/2 cup of fresh fruit
3 heaping tbsp. of yogurt
a few walnuts to garnish

Combine the oats and water into a microwavable dish and cook for 1 minute and 20 seconds on high.  Stir when you remove the oatmeal from the microwave.  Scoop out a tablespoon of peanut butter and insert it into the hot oatmeal covering it over.  Put your fresh cut fruit on top of the oatmeal, and top with the yogurt, garnishing with the walnuts.
