I have a high standard and I always strive to have foods healthy and nutritious. The third is it has to be fast and easy. The forth is it has to appealing and the fifth is it has to be inexpensive.

It doesn't meet most of those criteria. Its not inexpensive, its not health and I am going to show you today how we can make this a really good, fast, easy, quick, delicious breakfast."
