    What a fun idea! I can’t wait for week two. I love, love, love flaxseeds in my oatmeal. It makes it so much crunchier and nuttier. I’m interested to see what other people do with it!

    Great challenge idea. If I already eat your top-five foods, can I still enter? I guess the only ingredient I don’t typically eat at breakfast is lentils. Hmmmmmm!!
