Get rid of the bacon, and think about reduced fat dairy. Get rid of dried fruits but add fresh fruits.
NOTE [05/12/25]: I reduced the amount of bacon from 3 to 2 slices per breakfast, and I’ve started drinking 2% Milk with no problem. I still eat some dried fruit like prunes, Turkish apricots & a few dates. I don’t eat much fresh fruit. [end NOTE]
Black beans, salsa, *Funny, but at some point I found a recipe for “Black Beans & Quinoa.” It’s a simple recipe that includes yellow corn & cilantro leaf and comes out perfectly after about 20 minutes of cooking time. I’ve made it a couple of times. It goes great with homemade salsa and guacamole.
