Breakfast

[Guest guest]

Breakfast is my most important meal of the day. I'm a morning person so I take

time to prepare my first meal making sure I have most of the needd nutrients.

 

I start with a cup of hot Green Tea and then always eat a large spoonful of

raisins,coconut and mixed nuts.

 

Don't think that you have to eat traditional breakfast food. Soup, pasta, rice,

beans, you name it are perfect to start the day. Lots of energy protein. I often

eat lunch leftovers.

 

A favorite of mine is a one skillet meal of fried organic potatoes with

scrambled eggs. I just move the potatoes aside in the skillet , top with

shreaded Monterey Jack Cheese and scramble the eggs on the other side. Sometimes

I mix Nopalitos, onions and garlic with the eggs.

A couple slices of tomatoes and I have not only a beautiful looking meal but a

nutritious one.

The only thing missing is a piece of fruit which I might have later in the

afternoon. I seldom if ever eat anything after 4 PM.

How about corn and rice? I often will have a couple of leftover corn muffins or

corn pancakes. Hash browns (we do them with onions and peppers) are nice and

filling and you can make 2X the recipe and reheat another day.

Pizza - contrary to what my late mother said, it can be nutritious. You can make

the crust from whatever grain your body can handle, or even just a pie plate

filled with your favorite pizza toppings and cheese. You won't be able to pick

it up with your fingers but it is very filling.

Rice makes a good breakfast food. Sometimes I'll make a rice pudding with

raisins and nuts and have that for breakfast as well as a dessert. You can make

it with white sugar, brown sugar, honey, molasses or non-sugar sweetener. A bowl

of rice with some cooked veggies mixed in is a lovely meal any time of day. If

you miss oatmeal or cream of wheat, there is a rice cereal on the baby foods

aisle that is good, even if it does look like library paste.

If you're having problem getting enough protein and can/will eat dairy, there

are a number of good (meaning high in protein, low in carbs and tasting good)

whey protein powders you can use to supplement your diet. The soy ones would

probably bloat you very badly. I can handle soy in TVP but not the soy protein

drinks.

If you can eat corn and will eat eggs, scramble a couple of eggs, add some

cooked veggies and roll up in a warmed corn tortilla.

Corn tortilla with heated refried beans and salsa is good.

Oh lord, where are my brains? Grits. Not the canned hominy grits stuff, but corn

grits like we eat in the Southern USA. Good food, nice and filling.

Hope this helps! Jeanne in GA

How about whole wheat bread with peanut butter (yum!) or malt-o-meal (hot

wheat cereal) or cream of wheat? I think Chex has some soy-free cereals,

too. Several people on this list like smoothies and some add protein powder

to them. I like a frozen banana shake.

You are not allergic to all grains, so maybe cook quinoa, amaranth, cream of

wheat, rice, or a combination. Then add dried fruit/chopped nuts, maybe some

cinnamon, cardamom, seeds of choice (sunflowers, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds,

hemp). You could have almond milk, or rice milk. Not sure where you live and

what grains, nuts and fruits are available for a good price, so shop around.

Breakfast is hard for me too.

HI!

I would never have thought of, but would like to share with you.  I just

recently visited my daughter and son-in-law and learned to like something " new "

for breakfast.  My daughter is not vegetarian, but she's learned to love any

kind of " refried " beans  and tortillas for a filling and INEXPENSIVE breakfast. 

 

My daughter can cook--not many things, but a little (she's learning, and has a

husband who is a great, creative cook to show her things).  She loves making

" refried " black beans for their breakfasts.  She's a nursing mom, so she never

skips a meal and often has healthy snacks thru the day, as well.  She uses

canned black beans, only vegetable oil (canola is what they like) and seasonings

such as onion (to taste), fresh garlic (sautee in the oil first a bit), and just

a LITTLE seasonings--cumin, maybe fresh cilantro...and a " splash " of LIME

JUICE.  DD insists that the lime juice (fresh or bottled, doesn't matter) is

what gives the best flavor! 

 

My daughter puts the beans in the blender and then adds them to the

oil-onions-garlic and seasonings in a skillet to heat it all through.  It

doesn't take long, if the beans are pre-cooked or canned.  No soy, oat, or

barley in this.  Use corn or flour tortillas (check the labels for ingredients)

and see if it isn't a nice, filling breakfast!  It's tasty and vegetarian!

 

(Oh, I forgot also:  you may add a bit of shredded cheese, if you like that, to

the beans after they heat up...and/or some salsa of your choosing.  Chopped-up

avocado is great, too.

I ate this for my own breakfast when I visited my daughter a couple of weeks ago

and loved it.)

 

Good breakfasting wishes to you!

My most difficult meal to be vegetarian is breakfast.

I am alergic to soy,oat, and barley. I do eat them occasionally but a daily diet

of them makes me sluggish and full of mucus.

Any suggestions?  Also my budget is very difficult. I have very little for food.

Not my favorite meal either!

 

I would say my favorite thing to eat is oatmeal...just a little brown sugar...I

don & #39;t like a lot of & quot; stuff & quot; in my oatmeal. I & #39;ll eat oatmeal

anytime of day.

Other than that, an omlette with loads of veggies and homefries.

Homefries are definitely the more popular in New England. I remember once as a

kid we went to Dennys and I had no clue what hasbrowns were...all I could think

of was what you get at McDonald & #39;s. My dad says oh you & #39;ll like them,

don & #39;t worry about it. My order came and I was what is that? Big pile of

shredded potatoes...not what I was expecting...have never liked them...never

liked the McDonald & #39;s ones either. My dad got all bent out of shape cause I

wouldn & #39;t eat them...even drowned in ketchup I couldn & #39;t do it.

 

I & #39;m wierd, I know

One thing that I like for breakfast, especially in the colder weather, is to

take some dried fruit, be it cranberries, raisins, blueberries or what not,

toss it in a pan of water, bring it to a slow boil and add either cream of

wheat or oatmeal once it's at a boil and serve with a little rice milk and

just a pinch of brown sugar. The fruit gets brought back to life by being in

the water from the get go and adds much more flavor to the hot cereal I'm

having then adding it in at the end. I'd wager youcould even do just a bunch

of mixed dried fruits and server over biscuts or bread as a compote of

sorts.

Yeah! I buy those #10 cans of dehydrated hash browns for food storage,

but I eat them up so fast, I can't keep them on the shelf. They are

wonderful rehydrated with onion powder and a pinch of thyme, then brown

in a canola oil/butter combo. So much simpler than trying to grate

potatoes by hand. All the work is done for you. You just pour boiling

water to cover and wait 20 minutes.

The best breakfast for us is what a doctor told a friend to eat for breakfast.

Put in a blender , 1-raw green apple chopped up a bit, 1/2 cup raw old fashion

oatmeal. 1 cup water or milk, we use soy milk, blend as much as you want to.

Pour into bowls. Some times my Hubby like to put some brown sugar in his.

This actually sounds good. You could add hot milk to the blender if you

wanted it warm, and you could spice it up with cinnamon and honey. I'm

going to try it.

[Guest guest]

Many things I have read say that fruit is best eaten on an empty tummy, so I try

to eat 2 pieces 30 min apart and after being awake for 1-2 hours. It took some

training, but I could eat 3 pieces of fruit this way and then be ready for a

salad at lunch, 30 min after my last piece of fruit I snacked on nuts until I

got to this point.

I do something similar (but I use instant oatmeal). Toss it in the microwave

with milk, a chopped up apple and a little brown sugar. I've been using

Jonagolds, as they're kind of sweet but not too sweet.
