Guest guest Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 Melissa, We love Bob's Red Mills Mighty tasty GF Hot cereal in the mornings. It is wonderful!! Also I have not tryed the Gluten-Free Flour Tortillas that I posted, but you might want to make these up ahead of time then in the morning heat one up and roll it up with scrambled tofu, salsa, rice, beans whatever your heart desires. I hope these have helped. Amy Melissa Maedgen wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I'm in a breakfast rut.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 Melissa I just pulled a couple of breakfasty things out of the archives at GFCFRecipes and reposted them there. They were Fruited Breakfast Cookies, and a Breakfast Cake. Do they sound interesting? Another option might be to make pancakes, waffles or muffins ahead of time and freeze them in portions so you could just take them out and reheat for your breakkie.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Thanks to everyone who replied to my request for breakfast foods! Breakfast tacos are already in my repertoire - after all, I am a Texan! Soup is a pretty good idea, except that I often eat soup for lunch. I make it in large batches and freeze it in individual servings, then reheat in the microwave at work. Soup for breakfast and lunch might be overkill, but it would work for days when I don't eat soup for lunch. Hard as this may seem to believe, I really don't like sweet foods for breakfast. I didn't like pancakes, waffles or muffins even before I was gluten-free. I don't really even like oatmeal, which I eat with berries and honey, but I eat it sometimes because I think the fiber and berries are good for me. I've been doing some brainstorming, and here's some things I've thought of to try so far: enchiladas, arepas, potato and vegetable hash, dolmas, dosai, idlee, fried rice, some kind of savory rice porridge (made overnight in rice cooker). Any more creative suggestions? Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Hi Melissa, I stumbled across this yummy breakfast cereal that I assume is like cream of rice (I'm not sure - I have never had cream of rice!). I think the name is called " Rice Cereal " or something simplistic like that. Basically it's organic brown rice flour (at least it appears to be! it's an extremely fine ground). I throw 3 tablespoons of the cereal into a bowl with 1/2 cup water. Stick it in the microwave for a few minutes (I usually stop it half way through and mix it up a bit). Then add cinnamon and raisins. Very easy. Sometimes if I want to make it more creamy, I add some soy milk or rice milk. Have you thought about making corn bread? I follow the Gluten-Free Gourmet cookbook recipe (orange cornbread) and use finely ground corn flour. I make mine in a cast iron skillet and it turns out great! If you have lots of time, you can always make Deborah's veggie burgers (she posted the recipe here on the list) and freeze them...I didn't follow her recipe exactly and ended up having to add a bunch more rice flour to thicken them up..they turned out like veggie pancakes. Tasted good in my opinion. Lots of work involved, but worth it! If I think of any more (or if anyone else thinks of something!), I'll post. Good luck!!

Tasted good in my opinion. Lots of work involved, but worth it! Hey Dan's-The-Man! How's it going?? I've been wondering how you are lately! :-)) Did you decide to skip the step of squeezing the liquid from the squash? :-) Skipping that step would cause that problem. Lately, I've discovered a cool short-cut, time-saver for making those burgers by putting the 2 lbs of squash through the juicer. That totally dries the squash pulp. I added the dry pulp to the recipe and then re-added just a little of the squash juice as necessary. It saves lots of time and effort, and makes it easier to control the moisture content. I use the left-over juice to make the buckwheat flat-breads that I use as buns for the burgers, so it all gets used. :-) Deborah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 26, 2002 Report Share Posted December 26, 2002 My husband is Colombian, and they eat arepas and caldo on the weekends. Caldo is a soup where you cook very tiny diced onions, then add diced potatoes, then finally tomatoes, then salt and pepper, then they add milk and bread pieces, and I have added rice milk with success, and you could use gfcf bread pieces, and serve. it is good. arepas are colombian masa harina, and they add egg and milk and oil, i add rice milk, and oil with good success. and of course salt. you could add egg replacer of some kind. they are patty shaped, and slow fried in a 1/2 inch of oil you eat them broke in pieces in the caldo, or dipping....mmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!! and maybe some dark hot chocolate at the end if you do that!!!! or coffee sue , " Melissa Maedgen " <melissa@m...> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I'm in a breakfast rut.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 So long as you don't count cheese as too unhealthy stir a hand full of grated cheddar cheese into a tin of either plum or chopped tomatoes and heat it all up till the cheese melts and mixes with the tomatoes.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Just to clarify as I've had a couple of people email to ask, I meant plum tomotoes which are the usual variety we get tins in the UK Cheers David ________________________________ David Talbot <dtalbot Monday, 1 December, 2008 20:38:29 Re: breakfast ideas So long as you don't count cheese as too unhealthy stir a hand full of grated cheddar cheese into a tin of either plum or chopped tomatoes and heat it all up till the cheese melts and mixes with the tomatoes.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 I made a recipe from the most recent issue of Vegetarian Times that's sweet and simple. We've been eating it as a snack, but I bet that with a glass of soymilk and piece of fruit, it would work for breakfast. Here's all there is to it: process chia seeds, almonds, dates, cocoa, and vanilla in the food processor; press it into a wax-paper lined pan; chill and cut into bars. I'm sure you could sub carob if you don't want your child to eat cocoa. We made enough for 5 days of snacks in about 15 minutes, including clean-up.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Is there another substitute for the chia seeds and what are the proportions used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Tofu in muffins? Sounds weird. Joy of Vegan Baking by Colleen Patrick Goudreau has reliable breakfast muffin recipes. I also love Vegan with a Vengeance and Dining with Friends for great breakfast recipes. There are a ton of options online too if you use Google.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 If you are unable to use the banana or tofu, applesauce is a good substitute, as well. I use it in a lot of my breakfast foods, including pancakes and muffins. I'm a lacto-vegetarian, so you may have to modify something depending on what you eat as a Vegan. Here's a recipe from my mom (she eats 2 each morning) that I modified: 1 Cup Oats 1 Cup Wheat Flour 2 Cups Oat Bran 8 tsp. Baking Powder 2 tsp. Cinnamon 1/2 Cup Honey (or brown sugar) 1/2 Cup Applesauce & 1/2 Cup Blueberries (OR just 1 Cup Applesauce) 1/2 Cup Walnuts, crushed 1 Cup Water 1/2 Cup Olive Oil 3 tsp. Ener-G Egg Replacer mixed in 4 Tbsp. Warm Water Mix dry ingredients. Mix remaining ingredients (except walnuts) separately. Combine dry and wet and mix well. Add walnuts. Fill muffin tin 3/4 full. Cook at 400 degrees for 15 minutes (cook pans on same shelf). Freeze the overage and microwave for 30 seconds or until hot when ready to eat. Hope these work for you, Halona , " Bonnie " <bssorak wrote: > > We do the muffin thing a lot, too. Does anyone else have any suggestions for cookbooks with good vegan muffin recipes?
