Breakfast alternatives add variety, fuel brain power
Add these toppings to liven up your usual morning toast for a healthy and delicious breakfast.
LIGHT AND FRESH
Layer spinach, sliced tomato, and sliced avocado on toast. Garnish with feta, salt and pepper to taste.
BRIE WITH BALSAMIC-RASPBERRY REDUCTION
Bring 1/3 c. balsamic vinegar to a boil. Once heated, add 1 tsp. sugar and 2-4 raspberries and dissolve. Stir consistently to prevent scorching. Reduction is finished when a syrup forms.
Either spread or place a couple wedges of brie cheese on toast. Drizzle reduction over
cheese and garnish with fresh raspberries.
PROTEIN-PACKED
Cook one egg to your liking (over-easy, over hard, scrabbled, etc.). Season with salt pepper, and dried parsley. Top egg with baked or smoked salmon, (I used a frozen box brand). Garnish with fresh rosemary.
CRANBERRIES, PEANUT BUTTER AND BANANA
Christina Ostmeyer
Changing your breakfast routine by adding nutrient-filled alternatives will keep you full and ready to study.
Spread your favorite peanut butter on toast. Place some banana slices on top with a few dried cranberries. Finish with a sprinkle of granola and a drizzle of honey.

The novel, the first fictional Common Book, is a coming-of-age story. It deals with poverty, religion, evolution, role models, family and Reagan-era politics, following the fictional character Evelyn Bucknow from 10 years old until going off to college.
"It's not exactly a high-concept plot," Laura Moriarty said. "The readers who like it tend to like it for the narrator's voice and the characters and the ideas"
