Stories from the Heart: Fishing Together

My grandpa Clint loved to fish. Every time I saw him, about once each year, we fished together. It was the only time I fished all year, and it was special. Not because of the type or number of fish I caught, but because I knew my grandpa enjoyed spending time with me. 

 

Last week, I went fishing with my six year old son. He caught his first fish, a bass (photo). The two minutes from when he hooked the fish to when we let it go were a flurry of activity. He reeled, we yelled, we laughed, we took a photo, we took the hook out, we released the fish. The other 58 minutes were, well, slow. We didn't catch another fish. We were quiet, we were patient, and we were together.

 

As I fished with my son last week, it wasn't hard for me to remember that it wasn't about the number or type of fish caught. It was about showing my son the importance of time together. Grandpa Clint taught me that, and I hope I never forget it.

Healthy Recipe: Breakfast Burritos

 

By using egg substitutes instead of whole eggs and substituting vegetables for sausage and cheese, you cut out much of the fat and cholesterol in this breakfast burrito.
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomato 
  • 2 tablespoons chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup frozen corn
  • 1/4 cup egg substitute
  • 1 whole-wheat tortilla, 6 inches in diameter
  • 2 tablespoons salsa

In a small skillet, add the chopped tomato, onion and corn. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables are soft and moisture has evaporated. Add the egg substitute and scramble with the vegetables until cooked through, about 3 minutes.

 

To serve, spread the egg mixture in the center of the tortilla and top with salsa. Fold in both sides of the tortilla up over the filling, then roll to close. Serve immediately.

 

Serving size: One burrito
