Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I could use some breakfast ideas. My stomach can't take processed soy stuff, but everything else is fine. I had cottage cheese, 2 plums and 1/2 cup oats w. 1 tsp. smart balance spread. I LOVE oatmeal!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 At work lately I've been having before lunch: a banana, a couple glasses of water, a nectarine and sometimes a rice cake. Fresh fruit is my " thing " right now since our farmers market is brimming with deliciousness! Sometimes on the weekends we'll have eggs & " sausage " (soy) with some scallions tossed in or a nice bowl of fiber-rich natural cereal.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I make baked oatmeal for breakfast and the kids and hubby grab it whenever they want a snack also. The recipe has milk and eggs in it but you can sub soy milk and egg replacer to make it vegan. I wrap up 5 pieces for hubby in aluminum foil so he can grab a piece and go in the mornings (1 for each day of the week) and the rest go into a plastic container in the fridge. I can't say how long it lasts because it is gone in 3 or 4 days around here. I have frozen it before and it freezes fine. AM Baked Oatmeal Ingredients 6 cups rolled oats 2 cups milk (I have use vanilla soy before) 4 eggs (or 1 cup egg sub) 2 cups chopped dried fruit or 3 cups fresh or frozen fruit 1 cup sugar 1 cup apple sauce 1 cup flax seed (optional) 1 cup chopped nuts (optional) 4 tsp. vanilla 3 Tbsp. cinnamon Instructions Preheat oven to 350. Combine all ingredients and mix together. Pour into a 13X9 glass baking dish that has been lined with parchment paper. Bake for about an hour. Or until golden browned and firm. Turn out on to a cutting board and cut into 16 pieces. I also like to substitute a can of pumpkin for the fruits and pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has oatmeal even during the summer. Ann - Marie's bake oatmeal sounds like it would make a great brunch dish. I sometimes have to bring a brunch casserole, and I usually make something with cheese and eggs that probably has a 1000 calories per spoonful. This looks a lot better. I was wondering about the difference in " moistness " when it's made with fresh or frozen fruits instead of dried. Does it need to bake longer or is it just more moist? Also could you substitute canned pumpkin for the applesauce? I'm dreaming of dried cranberries and pumpkin--one of my favorite combinations.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Hi, I had two slices of ezekial sesame bread (got the idea for ezekial bread from a member of this list!) that were lightly toasted in the toaster oven, and then I spread mustard and put a slice of 2% cheese on top (I know, I know--I go back and forth trying to give up dairy), then I put a nice juicy tomato slice on top of the cheese and put back in the toaster oven just to slightly cook the tomato and melt the cheese. Then when it's done, I salt with seasoning salt. LOVE these open face tomato sandwiches. I also had a cup of soymilk along with my coffee. Totalled to 6 WW points-- It was kind of like a brunch for me as I knew I would be shopping all day and wouldn't stop for lunch most likely. And it carried me through quite nicely!

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 You can definitely sub pumpkin. I have done it with dried, frozen and fresh fruit and I use the same liquid measurements.
