What do you eat with English muffins?
If you want to have something along with your English muffin, why not try a cup of Greek yogurt with fresh fruit? Or, you can make a simple fruit salad with melon, grapes, and fresh strawberries or blueberries.
The idea is to keep your mornings simple. So, make up the fruit salad in the evening so that it’s ready to go when you wake up. And, remember that you can change up the fruit depending on what’s in season. There are all sorts of healthy toppings for English muffins.

I saw the article about aging and wrinkles. I’ve been on the same exact road! I’ve tried a few tings but they are so expensive I can’t afford any of the options, its depressing. I’m living in A nursing faciliity right now & doing therapy to TRY to be able to walk again, if it goes well, I get to go home. My point is, I feel so overwhelmed & stressed to the max, and it makes me feel really really old! Eye lines, smile lines, forehead lines, even when I sleep i wake up with lines at the bottom of my cheeks! Its like fat wrinkles! WHAT? I never had those?! I have to smooth them out every single morning. Thanks for liistening to my rant
It can definitely be a challenge, Dinah. Just look for the positive in each day!
I love English muffins! We have muffin pizzas pretty often around here.Super easy and something a little different.
Those are a big hit here!
I loaded a free Ralph’s coupon for English muffins the other day. I’m going to pair it with the free TGIF chicken appetizers coupon I also loaded. Both are items I don’t regularly eat but I don’t turn down free food, lol. The veggies with avocado slices sounds like a great topping for the muffins. My mom also regularly had English muffins for us, but only toasted with butter. They would make a sturdy base for a mini pizza for sure.
