What is for breakfast Sunday 9-22? Feeling better slept 12 hours! Sorry for the delay should have

[Demsrule86]

started it last night. I had toast and tea and felt well enough for a poached egg. Have a wonderful Sunday.

[MontanaMama]

1. Glad you're feeling better.

My family and I are just getting through nasty colds...I was just sitting here thinking about what to make my crew for breakfast. I’m thinking waffles...blueberry for the kiddo and me and Parmesan waffles for the dad.

[Demsrule86]

5. Thank you...love waffles...never had Parmesan waffles.

[dawg day]

2. If your tummy is delicate this morning, I probably shouldn't tell you what I made for breakfast.

I'll just mention the word "chorizo" and you'll get the idea.

Glad you're feeling better!

[Demsrule86]

6. I would kill for chorizo...I don't feel bad ...but when I eat it just doesn't take...food poisoning.

[dawg day]

15. Just wait till you've felt okay for a day...

Then chorizo time!

[Demsrule86]

17. you bet!

[alfredo]

3. leftovers

I have some leftover blue cheese potato salad, a hard boiled egg, and coffee.

[Demsrule86]

10. blue cheese potato salad...never had that...sounds good.

[alfredo]

14. You should be able to find the recipe online.

To hell with diets and clear arteries, it tastes great. It will make you a hero at the next church pot luck.

[Demsrule86]

16. I will look and it has long been my opinion that sugar and even worse corn syrup is the cause of

increased levels of heart disease and diabetes ...not fat.

[alfredo]

18. Occasional guilty pleasure should not hurt.

It's when those guilty pleasures happen for most meals that it becomes a problem. Here's the advice I live by.

7 Words & 7 Rules for Eating

Pollan says everything he's learned about food and health can be summed up in seven words: "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants."

Probably the first two words are most important. "Eat food" means to eat real food -- vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and, yes, fish and meat -- and to avoid what Pollan calls "edible food-like substances."

Here's how:

Don't eat anything your great grandmother wouldn't recognize as food. "When you pick up that box of portable yogurt tubes, or eat something with 15 ingredients you can't pronounce, ask yourself, "What are those things doing there?"

Pollan says.
Don’t eat anything with more than five ingredients, or ingredients you can't pronounce.

Stay out of the middle of the supermarket; shop on the perimeter of the store. Real food tends to be on the outer edge of the store near the loading docks, where it can be replaced with fresh foods when it goes bad.

Don't eat anything that won't eventually rot. "There are exceptions -- honey -- but as a rule, things like Twinkies that never go bad aren't food," Pollan says.

It is not just what you eat but how you eat. "Always leave the table a little hungry," Pollan says. "Many cultures have rules that you stop eating before you are full. In Japan, they say eat until you are four-fifths full. Islamic culture has a similar rule, and in German culture they say, 'Tie off the sack before it's full.'"

Families traditionally ate together, around a table and not a TV, at regular meal times. It's a good tradition. Enjoy meals with the people you love. "Remember when eating between meals felt wrong?" Pollan asks.

Don't buy food where you buy your gasoline. In the U.S., 20% of food is eaten in the car.

23. Great rules...I am a Celiac ...can't eat wheat so I mostly follow these rules...I refuse to eat

anything with High fructose corn syrup or weird ingredients...make most thinks myself...by organic when I can...eat lots of fruit and vegetables...and I have more energy than my kids who do not have a great diet. I raised them to eat healthy but they are out and about now and have more control. I think in the end they will begin eating better when they mature.

[alfredo]

35. You seem to have the right idea on diet.

[Demsrule86]

36. I love food...too much so the 'rules' keep me healthy.

[alfredo]

37. My cancer has cut down on how much I can consume at once.

[Demsrule86]

38. I am sorry that you are sick...how is it going?

[alfredo]

39. I'm doing fine, just can't eat much at one setting.

Lost 40 lbs and I’m not gaining it back. So you know my weight loss secret.

[Demsrule86]

40. Good...my husband's Mom died some years ago of cancer...and I believe with

today's treatments she would still be with us. There is so much more out there...saying a prayer and sending good wishes. Keeping your weight up is so important so glad you can eat and well judging from our conversations...PM or post to me and tell me how you are doing if that is OK.

[alfredo]

41. VA found it, and VA stopped it.They saved my life.

[Ohiogal]

4. I can't eat a big breakfast.

A little bit of cottage cheese and fruit. And coffee.

[alfredo]

19. My breakfast is through a tube in my stomach.

Two cans of 2Cal HN and half liter of water. Tasty. Lunch will be Sesame Nappa cabbage, and Benedictine sandwich on Melba toast.

[NJCher]

7. granola

I had a luxxxxurrrrrrious bowl of granola:

chopped nectarines,pecans, agave. Half 'n half, diluted a bit because I had no milk.

Then a neighbor said he was going to Dunkin', so I asked for a bagel with cream cheese.

[Demsrule86]

11. I love peaches and nectarines...

[yellerpup]

8. Gluten-free pumpkin pancakes

with maple syrup and crisp bacon. Coffee and smiles!

[Demsrule86]

12. Yum...being gluten free myself...I am still learning to make stuff like pancakes and baking in

general. More successes than failures lately.

[yellerpup]

13. We buy a mix from Trader Joe that is foolproof.

They only sell it in the fall, so we stock up with enough to get us through the rest of the year. It sells out fast, but I highly recommend it. Best texture on a GF pancake yet, you really can't tell that they are GF.

[alfredo]

21. On pancakes I use peanut butter instead of egg.

[yellerpup]

22. Interesting.

I loved peanut butter and syrup on pancakes when I was a kid. Or, do you mean you use peanut butter to replace the egg? That should work, too.

[alfredo]

24. Yes,I should have said in, not on.

[yellerpup]

25. I'll try it! n/t

[alfredo]

27. Rosa Park's Peanutbutter Pancakes.

This doesn't replace eggs like I used to.

https://toriavey.com/toris-kitchen/rosa-parks-featherlite-peanut-butter-pancakes/

[yellerpup]

28. I just printed out the recipe.

And I love that this is Rosa Park's recipe!

[alfredo]

29. It is appropriate that Ms Parks would make divine Peanut butter pancakes.

[yellerpup]

31. Of course she would!

She's close to divine herself.

[alfredo]

32. An American saint, not that she was holy, she was beyond brave.

[yellerpup]

33. Absoluetly!

You know I can't not make these. I'll serve them with a history lesson.

[alfredo]

34. I am the pancake maker here at home.

Since my salivary glands got damaged, I can’t handle white flour. So my pancake eating days are over.

Johnny Cakes are good to go. polenta is very versatile. I use it instead of pasta, or fried to sop the egg yellows

[SummerSnow]

9. I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich with a cold glass of milk...

saving my belly for huge dinner my daughter is making

[alfredo]

20. Instead of jelly, I use Strawberry preserves.

[brewens]

26. I tried a pancake with those Ocean Spray craisins. Turned out good. Vanilla yogurt

on it instead of butter and syrup.

[alfredo]

30. Apple sauce and agave syrup is good too.
