Re: Breakfast ideas

[Guest guest]

Because I am allergic/sensitive to most breakfast foods (wheat, corn, barley,

eggs, dairy products, soy, sugar, etc), I usually make a large pot of chicken,

turkey or beef soup with lots of fresh vegetables in it. I do not use any

starchy vegetables, except for carrots, and sometimes stringbeans in the initial

making of the soup. If I want to use some for an evening meal, then I put in

diced potatoes, or rice, squash or whatever will add to it. For breakfast, I

sometimes add some canned organic diced tomatoes to change the flavor some. It

seems I very seldom have it the same way twice. I also add different herbs when

the mood calls for them. I've also added pieces of breakfast sausage. I only

heat up what I am going to use at that particular time. As a treat I've also

used either rice cakes or Rye Krisp with almond butter for my breakfast. Usually

on a weekend when I'm not working and it doesn't matter if my energy is down.

This past week I tried quinoa flakes, cooked like oatmeal, sweetening it with

stevia and almond milk. It was okay for a change. I'll also have leftover stir

fry vegetables with whatever protein is available at the time. I've stopped

thinking of breakfast as any different from the other two meals of the day. That

has been the only way I am going to be able to deal with these restrictions on a

long term, probably permanent basis. I'm always looking for new ideas from all

sources. Jean

Depends how rushed I am, but my personal favorite is leftover tacos (freeze

the extras, pop 'em in the toaster oven, and add a little mexi-chi).

Quesidillas may work for the little ones.

A mess of vegies (whatever you have on hand) mixed with an egg and fried is

good and my daughter likes it. (She adds bbq sauce, which isn't very NT).

For myself today I tried Miso soup with eggs dropped in it, and onion

strips, which I liked but I'm not sure it's to everyone's taste. That's the

traditional Japanese wakup dish, I've heard.

That's funny Meg. I would be starving soon after all those meals. I have to

eat something high in fat and protein first thing. Although it may also be

because i'm pregnant. But i have never fared well on a carb breakfast. I

remember starving all through high school after my breakfast cereal. I need

to read Metabolic Man!

I feel best avoiding sweets (I'm also an avid exerciser) and my favorite

breakfast is one or two very soft boiled eggs, with butter oil , sea salt and

pepper served with a salad.

Fruit, carbs etc.. would send me to the nuthouse, just ask my husband!

I actually feel best if I have some berries or something sweet at the end of

the meal, even some raw honey. At the same time, if I eat a whole banana or

something very sugar dense, I don't feel so good. And I also feel best if I

have hamburgers instead of chicken, and need _lots_ of butter to keep me full

till the next meal. When the semesters over and I can read MM and MTD maybe

I can figure out what on earth all of this means. Figures, I'm such a mut in

terms of ethnic heritage... lol...

" What can one say of a soul, of a heart, filled with compassion? It is a

heart which burns with love for every creature: for human beings, birds, and

animals, for serpents and for demons. The thought of them and the sight of

them make the tears of the saint flow. And this immense and intense

compassion, which flows from the heart of the saints, makes them unable to

bear the sight of the smallest, most insignificant wound in any creature.

Thus they pray ceaselessly, with tears, even for animals, for enemies of the

truth, and for those who do them wrong. "

We always keep breakfast raw. It usually consists of a dish made with

sprouted grains, soaked & dried nuts & seeds, dried fruit (usually figs

& dates) and a small amount of fat (raw dairy or coconut oil). Carrot

cake or cranberry cake with cream cheese frosting, banana cake,

apple-cinnamon cereal, crunchy granola, chocolate-mint cookies,

chocolate fudge brownies, carob-chip cookies, " chocolate " pudding

cereal, banana mousse with whipped cream and lemon fluff are our

favorite breakfast choices. We often have a glass of raw milk or some

fresh fruit with them. I feel so good after these meals, they're

delicious and they really keep us until lunch.. we eat between 7-8 a.m.

and we're often not hungry until 1 pm. I'd be happy to send you, or

anyone interested, my recipes.

What about some mint tea with raw honey for some carbs at the end of the

meal?

Elaine-

I'm pregnant, too! Congrats. Actually, there is only a small amount of

sprouted grain and a higher proportion of almonds, sunflower seeds and

walnuts in most of my recipes. Then they're usually topped with a

high-fat frosting made with coconut or sesame oil and egg whites or raw

cream cheese and honey.

I don't do well with carbs either and keep my bread and potatoes to 1 or

2 servings a day, but these types of breakfasts really do great with

me.. I think in part because theyr'e raw and easy on the liver. I've

served these to many guests over the years and I always get compliments

both on taste and on how well people feel after eating them.

Meg, I'm interested! I missed this thread when it came around the

first time, but if you're able I would love to have these recipes.

I'm pregnant too, and easy, already-prepared breakfasts are a MUST!

I find myself wishing I kept cold cereal in the house, just to have

something easy to feed my kids (and myself).

Thanks,

Carma

Eggs fried in a combo of nitrite/sugar free bacon and butter.

Scrambled eggs, sometimes with ground breakfast sausage in it. Just

buy a 1lb ground pork and add breakfast sausage spices to it.

Spinkle with a little water and let sit up to a day in the fridge

before using to let the flavors mix in. (You could use it as soon as

you make it)

Anykind of eggs and a side of meat like steak or sausage patties

(You know, kind of like those Cracer Barrel, IHOP meals we used to

eat minus the side of rooty-tooty-fresh-n-fruity stack of pancakes

and hashbrowns cooked in poly-oils).

As a side dish, I will cook a low carb veggie in the fat that I just

used to cook the eggs/meat in. Sprinkle with salt and top with a

dollop of butter that will melt all over the plate. Sop that butter

up with the veggies. Also, serve yourself some saurkraut.

Another idea that I have that I've been meaning to try is egg-drop

soup. Make it with chicken stock add salt, pepper and tumeric

(optional).

Hope that helps,

I eat spaghetti squash Deb, I cook two of them on the week-end, quarter

them, pop um in the freezer then take 1/4 out each day, put it in the

toaster oven on 350-400 for about 1/2, then put lots of butter and some

cinnamon on top. It is really pretty good, and it beats eating eggs

everyday.
