Normally I just have toast during the week, but cook breakfast on weekends.
My kids are loving smoothies before school.

Kids have porridge or weetbix during the week - normally finished with a smoothie
On weekends depending on what time DS is playing footy it could be a cooked breaky

I have been on Cyndi O'Meara's HCG protocol, so either a piece of fruit or nothing - I will be very pleased when I can eat my normal breakfast again!
And very importantly coffee, either a cappuccino or a mochiatto (not sure of spelling! ). ;D

I used to always have multigrain weekbix warmed up in the microwave so they went warm and gooey in the milk. Yum :-))
Does anyone else find that they get hooked on a particular breakfast for a long period of time, and then it changes overnight and you get hooked on something else? Or is that just me?
Post by: mcmich on June 29, 2012, 09:17:21 pm
If I'm lucky enough to get a morning tea break, I have rolled oats with brown sugar and sultanas.
I usually make a cooked brunch on the weekends.

Does coffee and a smoke count as breakfast? If so I have breakfast a couple of times each morning LOL
That use to be my breakfast when I first started nursing.
I was only 17yrs old and desperately wanted to fit in and I was very keen on a certain young maintenance man.
The smoking didn't last too long as I couldn't inhale and just ended up with a mouth full of smoke that I just blew out again, really disgusting. Still enjoy a coffee though.
Post by: obbie on June 29, 2012, 10:24:12 pm
My DD likes weetbix warm up with milk, my DS loves nuttella on toast. :)

I left school when I was 15 cookie :-[ After my spinal surgery I had fallen so far behind with school work that it would have been almost impossible for me to catch up. I got Certificates II and III in Community Services at TAFE, and I also did a Certificate IV in Child, Youth and Family Intervention (Child Protection). Most recently I was studying an advanced diploma of nutritional medicine, but unfortunately I had to withdraw. I'm hoping to get into dietetics or some form or health science at university in the next couple of years though.
I'm currently studying to be a personal trainer, and would like to also study exercise science or physiology :)
Sorry, that was a very long-winded load of blabber :-)) ;D

I also do ear candling, Reiki treatments as well.
I studied aromatherapy in my massage course, and love e oils.
I have done sports massage courses, and also Bowen therapy.
all related to each other..
alternate therapies... :)
I love it when I can help people. ;)
I hate doing a swedish massage, (which is what beauty therapist do) all relaxing....
Love doing sports and deep tissue....
Post by: Amy :-) on July 01, 2012, 06:50:31 am
You reminded me that I did a course in Swedish massage :) It was great, but doing those hour-long massages made my back ache so I don't think its the job for me :-))
It did help me learn a lot of Anatomy and Physiology though, which I need for any health related work ;)

For the un-initiated biscuits are like buttermilk scones and gravy is a made by cooking the sausage meat like you would mince for savoury mince or spag bol and then making a white gravy using the fat from the sausage, milk, pepper and flour. Once this thickens the cooked sausage is added back in. The gravy is served over a biscuit.

YOLKS Egg yolks require special treatment. The gelation property of yolk causes it to thicken or gel when frozen. If frozen as is, egg yolk will eventually become so gelatinous it will be almost impossible to use in a recipe. To help retard this gelation, beat in either 1/8 teaspoon salt or 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar or corn syrup per 1/4 cup egg yolks (4 yolks). Label the container with the number of yolks, the date, and whether you've added salt (for main dishes) or sweetener (for baking or desserts).

500g thick Greek-style yoghurt
300g lemon curd
Method
Place yoghurt in a large bowl. Stir lemon curd through in a rippled effect. Place mixture in a plastic container or mould and freeze overnight. Place in the fridge for 20-30 minutes before you want to serve it to allow it to soften

Grilled asparagus and cheese on damper, glass of diet coke.

Until I tried fresh asparagus a few years back Michele, I used to buy canned too (only John West though) but there is no comparison between fresh and canned so have not bought canned since. You'd be surprised how many people haven't tried fresh - probably because they don't liked canned. I've introduced it to a few friends since I discovered it myself. I made a lovely salad for a large family gathering of the in-laws and my DD's family once with fresh asparagus, string beans left whole, snow peas and a vinaigrette dressing - they are not an adventurous lot and my side of the family were the only ones who tried it :o :-)) >:(

We get 2 doz/week from BIL, but have been given a few extras lately too - all fresh laid eggs! :) Had not realised we had so many tho!...maybe they are breeding themselves in there!! :)
;D ;D Wish we had that problem - we have two ladies (of leisure, at the moment. it seems! - no eggs) who usually lay fairly regularly. But I'm convinced that we have a resident blue tongue lizard who has been extremely well fed! It's been a race to the coop to get an egg before it appears later with a large hole in the side and sucked clean. At first, we thought one of the hens was having a go at them . . but now I'm not so sure. . . the damage is the same each time - the damage quite consistent. Next step is to "lizard proof" the laying quarters with chicken wire (what else? :-)) ) underneath the coop etc. and see what happens . . .
Post by: Mezza39 on July 21, 2012, 07:37:46 am
I usually have a small bowl of home made muesli with a couple tablespoons of natural yoghurt along with a boiled egg (fresh from our own chickens) and a couple cups of either black or green tea. We have our brekky on comfy outdoor recliner chairs watching the birds on our block, it's a relaxing start to the day.Sounds great! Mind if we all join you next weekend? ;D

Usually I have porridge, but today I had a mandarine, followed by half a multigrain roll that I made last night, toasted with vegemite. Then I had to quality test the scones I made this morning with home made apricot jam, a little cream and a cup of coffee.
No morning tea today though as I was still full from brekky.

Is it strange being an adult and having your mum stay at your house? Because you grow up in mum's house with mum's rules, and then you move out and you have your own house and make your own rules. I just can't imagine in :-))

I tried 1 cup rolled oats, 600mL water, 2tbsp LSA mix, 1 chopped apple, 2tbsp sultanas, mixed seeds and some brown sugar (8mins, 100oC, reverse, speed 2) . I've nearly got it to my liking but will use 300mL milk & 300mL water next time....
That sounds really good Jamberie!! :D I am a porridge fanatic so do you think you could post the recipe when you perfect it?
Very nice sourdough fruit and nut bread toasted from an artisan bakery in Perth for first breakfast pre run. Then poached egg and sourdough rye toast from the same bakery and a coffee post run.
Two breakfasts Dash? Sounds good ;D

Girls had a few mouthfuls of porridge each, I had 1/2 a piece of bread and a couple of panadol. :(
Not a good way to start the day Astarra :(
Nutragrain because was in a hurry.
That used to be my favourite cereal :-))
My breakfast is pretty boring as I usually have the same thing :)
Light and Tasty cereal (honey and macadamia)

Yes it was Amy. I just put them in the TM with the liquid and the oats and a touch of brown sugar. I think a few more strawberries would have made it even better.
I'll be trying it next time I have strawberries, minus the sugar ;)

I've been working on my perfect porridge recipe (well perfect for my tastes anyway) and I start by chopping a an apple in the tmx before adding oats, sultanas, lsa mix. Then in the last 20-30 secs of cooking I add a handful of nuts/seeds and brown sugar/honey. Then I serve it with a dallop of natural/vanilla yoghurt.....think I might need to try it with strawberries now though!
I've had a super busy couple of weeks so haven't had a chance to write anything more specific yet....

Do you mind me asking what protein shakes you drink Den?
Post by: Delightful Den on August 31, 2012, 06:39:23 am
I just use Musashi vanilla protein powder that i can get from the local supermarket. I have tried another brand from Coles, I think it was Naturesway, but it was not very nice.
Do you mind me asking what protein shakes you drink Den?
The musashi tastes good but is sweetened with sucralose which is a modified from of sucrose. It doesn't have many digestible calories for the sweetness.
Many dieticians say not to waste your money on protein powders just eat a good source of lean protein usch as steamed/grilled chicken or turkey breast.

Funny story because DH is away today I was thinking about have McDonalds for dinner as I have to pick up DS after his piano lesson on the way home from work, then I remembered we were having it for breakfast so I said to Jed my DS I had risotto in the freezer so he said he will have that as it is better than McDonalds, since I have had my TM he much prefers this food to junk food
Post by: Delightful Den on September 19, 2012, 02:51:54 am
Our closest Maccas in 25 minutes from home.
My kids have been there twice now..
I can beat that Robyn. My Closest Maccas is 75 minutes away in a town that you would not go to unless you had a specific reason to visit it or were passing through to a bigger regional centre on the coast.
I do sometimes like an egg mcmuffin, but only once in a blue moon and that is usually enough to last me at least 6 months.
This morning I had muesli with yoghurt and strawberries.

Thanks for the link consumerate. I love chilli.
I made a fritata this morning with tomato, capsicum, spinach and feta.

Thanks for the link consumerate. I love chilli.
Also check out Disaster Bay Chillies (https://disasterbaychillies.com/default.htm). They have some great stuff. We have successfully grown Naga Jolokia chillies from the chilli factory and have some Trinidad scorpion seeds to try. The nagas were hot but not as scary as I thought they would be. I suspect that they don't get quite as hot in the cold Canberra climate (although I really don't know because I'm not very knowledgable about such things). The plants didn't go gangbusters. Hoping they will go better this year as we kept them alive inside under a grow lamp for winter.
Post by: CarolineW on September 23, 2012, 04:39:58 pm
When it's really cold I love porridge, but I haven't been very adventurous with it. I've eaten it with compote a couple of times after reading the idea somewhere (probably this forum ;D ) and liked that. I thought this winter I'd mill some almonds first then reduce the amount of oats to make it lower carb and see how that works out.
Does anyone have any other low carb breakfasts to share?

Caroline, I personally never eat a low carb breakfast because I believe the morning is the most important time to eat a good energy meal, but you could try:
Omelettes (made with eggs and/or egg whites) with spinach, tomato and/or mushrooms.
Green smothies.
Breakfast frittata or quiche.
Scrambled tofu.
Your own "muesli" blend without grain products.
Post by: Delightful Den on September 24, 2012, 05:43:48 am
Actually cottage cheese and fruit is a good low carb breakfast.

Yes Amy ;D. Chocolate milk is from brown cows too!! :D ;D
Post by: CarolineW on September 24, 2012, 07:56:13 am
You can also make a "pancake" using 1/3 cup of almond meal with 1 beaten egg and just enough milk to get the consistency how you like it. Then the only real carbs to worry about is what you put on them. You cold top with low fat yoghurt or cottage cheese and fruit.
Actually cottage cheese and fruit is a good low carb breakfast.
Yum, I love the sound of both of those Den, thanks.

Actually that is where the name originally came from, cottage cheese was easy to make at home and was one of the early cottage industries.
The term "cottage cheese" is believed to have originated because the simple cheese was usually made in cottages from any milk left over after making butter. The term was first used in 1848.[1] The curds and whey of nursery rhyme fame is another dish made from curds with whey, but it is uncertain what their consistency was, if they were drained at all or how they were curdled (which affects the flavor). Some writers claim they are equivalent or similar.[2]

Great to see you back Astarra, I was asked where you were and of course had no idea! I think we all need a forum buddy that we can text or contact somehow when we are absent for a prolonged period. It makes you wonder if one of us oldies falls off our perch if perhaps we can all ask a relative to make sure they let someone from the forum know. It wouldn't be hard to put this plan into action. So many of our members have fallen by the wayside without explanation and as we are like family, we do worry about what has happened to them. Perhaps we can all exchange some contact details with another forum member (other than the computer in case that is the problem) so that someone can make that contact if something has happened.

That's a good idea JD. We are family and get concerned when we don't hear from the regulars.

The sourdough bread was an improvement on the last one, but still not totally as I would like it. Unfortunately I have to work today after all, so have already cut up that loaf and made it into sandwiches. Might even put on another loaf this afternoon to rise overnight and cook tomorrow. Loving this sourdough!

Are blueberries expensive up there?
Post by: Mama Fergie on October 04, 2012, 12:26:09 am
When the fresh ones are too expensive I buy a large pack of the frozen ones and just defrost enough each time I feel like having them.
If they are on special in the supermarket I buy a few packs as always handy to have for muffins, pancakes etc.
Post by: Amy :-) on October 04, 2012, 12:29:46 am
I buy the frozen ones too, but I love fresh, crisp blueberries ;D
Post by: Mama Fergie on October 04, 2012, 12:44:19 am
My problem with fresh blueberries is that my little GD 5 and GS 2 love them so a pack is gone in a flash.
I don't mind as I would rather the fruits than lollies but they disappear faster than I can buy them ;D
Post by: Amy :-) on October 04, 2012, 12:51:50 am
My mum has always said that its better to spend our money on fresh, healthy produce than it is to spend it on take-away food, cigarettes, alcohol or gambling. So I don't mind spending a bit extra on my fruit and vegies :)
Have you tried growing blueberries? I have one blueberry bush, but its really small and doesn't have many berries on it. I would eat them all in one sitting :-))
Post by: Mama Fergie on October 04, 2012, 01:23:37 am
I have a herb patch in my drying area and a that's about it.
Used to grow veggies but can't now.
Your mum is right as money spent on good food is not wasted.
Have to confess I enjoy nice wine but don't smoke or gamble ;D

I haven't ever tried growing them Amy and now we live on a small block of land 15 meters from the ocean so nothing like that would grow. Even the Norfolk pines that were planted by the council all died within months due to salt spray and wind. :(

I would love to tour Europe one day, particularly Scotland and Ireland because my ancestors on both sides are from those areas :)
Post by: Mama Fergie on October 04, 2012, 04:36:33 am
Both Scotland and Ireland are beautiful but unfortunately the weather is unpredictable. England is lovely too.
My second eldest GD who is 16 just left last week for Italy. She will be there for a month and is soooo excited and happy.
We have travelled all over Europe and Italy, France and Greece are my personal favourites. And Switzerland!!! Better not forget that as one of my SIL's is Swiss ;D

I think that's a great breakfast (brunch maybe more like it) kt2. I once invited my best friend and her family over for a chicken and champagne breakfast on Christmas morning and we both agreed we could quite easily have given the traditional roast lunch with relatives later a miss.
It was really enjoyable! I think most of our family have gone home to have a nanna nap :D

Amy you should give Julieo's one from here a try, the recipe is quite long and looks a bit daunting but it has a fantastic flavour and my family actually prefer it to the bought one now.
I think I know the one you're talking about Wonder, because I remember being really indimidated by it! But with your recommendation I might give it a try... I'll find it now :)
I had a banana and blueberry smoothie before training and muesli with yoghurt and strawberries after training. With coffee of course. :)

Amy: in your general research about happy healthy foods do you know what the best sort of 'breakfast biscuit' is? I get the weetbix multigrain but I've never done a comparison of the nutritional tables. I only buy the multigrain ones because I prefer the taste and texture. Would be very interested in any advice you have.
Thanks :)

As you can see, most of the plain breakfast biscuits have a similar nutritional value, and they are a good choice for breakfast. Its only when you get into the flavoured weet-bix bites that added sugar can become a problem.
Multi-grain weetbix are great ;) I used to eat them all the time and I still enjoy them on occasion ;D
Just remember to add some yoghurt or LSA for that extra protein.
Hope this helps :)

The egg board....? ;D
Eggs, potatoes and many other staples used to be regulated by government authorities. In WA there is still a potato marketing board. They used to regulate all sales of potatoes from farmer to wholesaler and onto to retailer.

Haven't tried that one Michele but remember having mince on toast as a kid so I imagine the Chilli con Carne would be similar but tastier.
Been watching the Amish documentary and really enjoyed it . Downloaded the SBS on Demand app for iPad and can watch loads of films, documentaries etc. great if you miss something on tv as can watch it any time with this app.

With tomato sauce astarra? ;D
Yes for miss3, no for the rest of us....funny that miss3 likes it so much as I hate the stuff, DH likes it in moderation, miss 6 has it occasionally and as for miss22mths....she won't even eat off a plate that has sauce anywhere on it, even if it is not on her food. :-))

- Quinoa with yogurt and berries
- Multigrain toast with ricotta and banana (with bit of cocoa powder)
- Multigrain toast with avocado and boiled egg
- Oat porridge with soymilk, and I throw in shredded coconut, LSA, and bit of dried fruit
I have brekkie at 7am after my morning workout. Usually keeps me full till lunch (I skip morning tea because they serve too many biccies and sweet treats here at uni) -- but then again I usually have early lunch (11.30am).

MIL gave me a huge container of protein powder yesterday - it makes her vomit (nice review on the stuff, ah? ;) ) but I have no idea what to use it for and if there are any people that should not have it or anything like that.
Any help, please? :)
Astarra you can mix protein powder with ricotta then fry it like a pancake. Is it flavored?

Amy, it was only a bread and butter plate!
LOL :D :D :D
I bet you needed a couple of serves of that to fill you up! I know I would ;D
i don't think is much chance of him converting Amy, it took a lot of convincing just to get him to drink the small glass. I made sure today is was a bright green - he wouldn't try it yesterday because it had blueberries so was a very muddy purple colour which wasn't a good look. I have fully converted DH now (only took 12 months) and on boxing day asked if I would be able to cut up everything so he could make one before the big golf game yesterdy - he had the lowest score of his life and won the family competition by quite a way. Of course we are saying it was all a result of the green smoothie ;D
DH's win had to be down to the green smoothie, definitely ;D Couldn't you use that to convince your house guest how good they are? :D Unless he doesn't like golf of course :-))

Why are these pancakes so yellow he wanted to know. Probably because of the eggs was my reply. Oh Mum makes pancakes out of a packet, she doesn't use eggs. Why does this maple syrup smell and taste so strong was his next question. Because it's real maple syrup and not the fake stuff my DH replied.
He liked the pancakes, but prefers the packet ones with the fake maple syrup. LOL :-))
Oh well, at least he ate them. Lucky we didn't tell him about the sourdough!

I had another green smoothie...yesterday I pre packaged pineapple pieces and handfulls of blueberries into zip lock bags and put them in the freezer. So today I just put in a banana, some silverbeet leaves and pre-packaged fruit, added some water and it was ready in just two minutes :)
I'm hoping to make enough of the pre packaged fruit to last me for a few weeks when I start my new job. I've increased from working from two to three days so I need to be more organised!

This morning, I had some cherries, and then some of Tenina's Cranberry and Almond Granuesli with yoghurt. I made an extra large batch of the Granuesli the other day - I kept the butter/honey mixture the same but upped the rolled oats to a 1kg bag, and added extra macadamianuts and cranberries. Yum!

The Kiwis were very impressed - reminded them of the sausages from the take aways in NZ only better they said.
The plating up isn't very pretty but it was all I could do to get a photo.

Green smoothie and a small bowl of muesli :)
Sounds like you are really enjoying your green smoothies Amy :)
I had a smoothie too, but this one wasn't green -1 banana, 250g milk, 100g yoghurt, 100g strawberries, 1 Weet-Bix, 30sec/Speed8 = yum! Next time I'll only use 50g yoghurt and I'll pulverize for 1 minute, to make sure the Weet-Bix is fully processed. Or if I have time, soak the Weet-Bix in milk for a few minutes before adding all ingredients to the TMX.
Post by: Amy :-) on January 11, 2013, 03:42:36 am
Why don't you whizz the weet-bix into crumbs before you add anything else? ;)

Jamberie, check out my Breakfast smoothie (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3517.0) using most of those ingredients you tried - those times work perfectly for a smooth smoothie with no sign of the weetbix.
Thanks for the link Judy...I only used speed 8 for 30 seconds (impatient me)...so I'll combine our recipes tomorrow and see how that goes, my combination of ingredients (I can't have milo/chocolate at the moment) and your wizzing times and speed :)
Post by: mcmich on January 11, 2013, 06:10:48 am
2 cups of pitted dried dates and 2 cups of boiling water - soak for 5 minutes and whizz in TMX until smooth.
If you don't have any puree on hand - just soak a few dates in boiling water - you don't have to just a bit kinder on the blades.
Post by: Jamberie on January 11, 2013, 06:20:34 am
I'll try it once I figure out more about my migraine triggers. I'm trying to reduce the number of foods in my diet that are high in amines. Unfortunately dates (and lots of other tasty/flavoursome) foods are high :( I don't avoid them completely I just seem to have a threshold of what I can handle :-\

Yes, but you'll notice I added strawberries today. I'd not had many amines yesterday so had strawberries (moderate/high amines) today. I'm going to do the proper elimination diet in the next couple of months, I'm just sort of waiting til I get back into a routine (new job, buying/selling house etc). Meanwhile, avoiding foods that I know trigger such as chocolate, wine strong cheeses and only having small does of others. Seems a bit hypocritical but most people who are sensitive to food chemicals seem to have a threshold that they can handle (bit like some lactose intolerant people). I'll try your date tip when I've not had too many amines that day!
Don't think I could give up wine and cheese, good luck with it.

DS requested French toast for lunch yesterday. I gave him a sandwich instead with a promise of French toast for brekky this morning. I had mine with coffee:)

Don't think I could give up wine and cheese, good luck with it.
It's hard, but the headache/migraine is worse...I used to put up with the pain and drink wine before DD came along, now headaches are just not worth it with a little person who doesn't understand! -I still have coffee, it is the thing I'll struggle with most!
This morning, I tweaked my Weet-Bix smoothie (1min/speed9 worked a treat thanks Judy) for myself and made DD and DH piklets...ES you've inspired me to make French toast sometime soon :)

Funny thing with today's smoothie was that there was no grittiness from the Weetbix, but I used frozen mixed berries and of course the raspberries made it a bit gritty!

I had weevils in wholemeal flour once. flushed them down the sink with boiling water. Am still grossed out by the experience.
Post by: Amy :-) on January 12, 2013, 11:53:03 am
In the days of wooden ships and iron men the ships biscuits (hard tack) always had weevils in them. It didn't kill them. (The scurvy and and everything else did.)
Those days were a long time ago Den.... :-)) ;D You don't have to eat weevils anymore ;)

Have you tried the almond meal again? Or perhaps an LSA mix? :)
Post by: Jamberie on January 14, 2013, 10:06:06 am
Yes, good point ;D

Yes! Almond meal is a regular & I've bought all the ingredients to make LSA, just haven't gotten around to it yet...I also added some sunflower seeds and pepitas, I was a little bit heavy handed though as that smoothie tasted like bird seed :-))
But the almond meal works a treat and I've added 3 tablespoons and not noticed it.

Craving ice can be a sign of iron deficiency (as is wanting to eat soil😮) so might be worth getting it checked if you haven't had a blood test recently.
That's interesting Bonsai. I was very unwell with DD (severe HELLP syndrome) and low haemoglobin was part of it, I thought I just wanted ice as I was not allowed water or food during the birth (large chance of having caesar under general anaesthetic, hence no food/liquid), but maybe it was my body telling me something!

CADA. First time. It's very sweet - only used two dried dates and Granny Smith apple - coconut was unsweetened. Whole lot is worth over 500 calories - only eating half!
PT, thats why I don't have CADA... very kilojoule-dense, contains saturated fat from the coconut, and has no low-GI carbohydrates ;)

Saturated fat from the coconut is not really an issue due to the high lauric acid and medium chain fatty acids IMO. It's not as evil as was believed in the past. I will make a revised version in a few days - less coconut (for taste and to reduce the calories), some oats and some flaxseeds. My usual breakfast is either bacon and eggs or oat bran with some protein powder, cacao and coconut oil.

Is lettuce and vegemite a craving Astarra?
Sounds odd and I can't even try it seeing as I dropped the glass vegemite jar on the tiles yesterday. Still picking up glass.
Post by: astarra on February 05, 2013, 05:06:24 am
Bummer about the vegemite jar - bet it was a full one too. I did that recently putting it away out of the shopping bag. >:(
Post by: Amy :-) on February 05, 2013, 06:26:46 am
Man, don't you just hate dropping glass things? I knocked a glass dish out of a cupboard the other day and it smashed everywhere. I thought I'd picked it all up but an hour later I had a shard in my foot >:(
Ah well, better me than the dog :-))

I had my combo, but with rockmelon this time. It is a small rockmelon and very sweet, yummy :D

The kids didn't eat theirs last night (DD put herself to bed while I was cooking). So it was DD's dinner for breakfast, and then the actual I-made-too-much leftovers for lunch. ;D

Sheep or coconut yoghurt with a few drops of stevia and some pepitas.. Drink of coconut water is pretty much my breaky this week.. Tired of shop bought bread and cereal as options ..
Frozzie, is sheep yoghurt made out of sheep's milk or is that a typo? :-)) ;D

That is clever astarra :o :D I've heard you can do porridge a similar way and I've been desperate to try it out. Just put a casserole dish of oats and milk in a water bath in the oven and leave the oven on low all night. I wish it was colder here!! ;D
Amy if you have slow cooker you can make your porridge in that overnight - might be a bit more economical with the electricity than the oven.

Back before I was really healthy (;)) I used to like frozen banana choc chip muffins for breakfast ;D

You honestly can't mess up Cookies Vienna loaf. It is beautiful and my favourite. Follow it to the letter and you'll have an amazing loaf. Once you've mastered the basic then add seeds and things as you go. I add whatever I have in the cupboard but mainly white chia, sunflower, sesame and linseeds. Give it a go Amy. You won't regret it.

Love cuddles in bed on weekends too jam.
Post by: Jamberie on March 23, 2013, 11:54:22 am
Kimmy, I'm sure you'll be intersted to know Clinker and Paddy have been introduced... and it nearly ended it the end of Clinker :o :-[
:o :o :o :o :o
That reminds me, I used to have the most placid Golden Retriever when I was growing up. When I moved out of home, he stayed with my parents because they had a much bigger garden for him to play in...I bought myself some rabbits to keep me company and when my dog came to visit, just the smell was enough to set him off- he completely changed his personality, instincts took over! -luckily the rabbits survived! Hopefully Paddy will learn to love Clinker though Amy.

Your poor bunnies :'(
For once Clinker is now happy to be in his cage :-))

Thanks for the reassurance Jam... :o ;DAre Clinker's wings clipped Amy? If not, then he can escape if he needs to. It's a tough choice. We had our cockatiel's wings clipped when he was young and we were training him. They have since grown back and he is not quite as well behaved as he used to be...must do it again.
Your poor bunnies :'(
For once Clinker is now happy to be in his cage :-))

How old is your cockatiel now?

Kimmyh biscuits are like scones and gravy is a white sauce made with the rendered fat from pork breakfast sausage with the sausages added back in. Here is a link (http://www.food.com/recipe/southern-biscuits-and-gravy-236284) to the recipe I use.Thanks for asking the question Kimmyh.You learn something new everyday because I thought the "gravy" on biscuits was brown,thanks DD :-* ;D

I generally don't eat breakfast, which is a really bad habit I'm trying to get out of. This morning, and yesterday morning, I finally made porridge in my thermomix - first time since I've had it! Apple, cinnamon and brown sugar, and it's amazing!
Nice one jakodai! :D Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so I always make sure I have something yummy and healthy ;)
Smoothies are good too, if you find it hard to eat that early in the morning :)
Porridge with nuts, chia and sunflower seeds, honey and sultanas :D
That sounds delicious MF, I'm going to have to try that combo :D

The eating of breakfast normally isn't the issue, it's the preparing it. Once I've prepared it, I eat it. I just generally put off preparing it until lunch time... lol. DS used to have breakfast at kinder, now I have breakfast with him at home. He stopped eating breakfast at kinder a little while ago, too much excitement I think, so this way I can be sure we're both eating breakfast. It's just a matter of working it into my routine, then I'll be fine.
Has anyone found that Quaker Oats take longer to cook than Uncle Toby's Traditional Oats? I bought a 4.5kg box of Quaker Oats from Costco yesterday ($9.99! Bargain!) but when I cooked them this morning the way I normally do, they weren't quite cooked. I'm scared of overcooking them, though, and ending up with a massive mess to clean up in my thermomix bowl.

these days I have 2 eggs.
Sometimes with coffee with a bit of coconut oil in there (gross to look at, good for me, and I don't mind the taste)
sometimes I'll throw in some veggies if
- I have any needing using up
- remember that I have veggies needing using up
- not cooking DD2's eggs with mine
I usually eat those between 7am and 8am depending how my day is going.
On the colder days we had a couple weeks ago, I was hungry by 11, usually this keeps me going until 12-12:30.
Once in a while I'll whip up a pumpkin smoothie or an avocado smoothie (when those are the veggies that need using up, even though, technically, I'm not sure either is a vegetable! :D )

Bit hard to forget that now........ :)
That makes sense then Obbie, I am not a grazer so I guess that is why you can keep going on it and I can't!!! :D
I need my protein breakfasts to get me thru til lunchtime! :)
I only drink (water) between meals mainly, occasionally have a piece of fruit or two mid afternoon or if someone calls in I have a muffin or whatever just to be sociable. Maybe i should eat more between meals?

I don't know what the rest of your diet is like astarra, but I would probably include some healthy snacks just to make sure you're getting all the nutrients your body needs :D And make sure you're eat a good variety of foods too, since they all have different vitamins and minerals in them! ;)
Thanx Mum!! ;D ;D ;)
Think from my posts on the breakfast, lunch and dinner threads you would be able to see what sort of diet I have!!! I just find snacking a waste of time!!!! (Tho have had to have a few midnight feasts lately - :-)) :-)) :-)) - see why it is hard to forget I have a bub on board ATM!!! :)
Post by: Amy :-) on May 09, 2013, 03:56:46 am
Sorry if I sounded mum-like astarra, I just get very passionate about nutrition ;D
I can relate to your views about snacking. I only have three meals per day, so make sure they are all quite different to ensure I'm getting an adequate variety of nutrients. I don't feel the need for snacks because for me they would just be excess calories! But then I'm not pregnant ;D
I've never had a midnight feast, it must just be a pregnancy thing :D Will they stop when the bub is born? ;D

Oh well, could be worse I guess!!
This morning I had Honey Almond All Bran with peach flavoured Chobani and a banana :D

I think the Crio is an acquired taste. I drink it everyday at work now but it took a bit to find the one I liked and to develop my taste for it. I do find that you need to use at least the recommended amount for the volume of water and let it brew for 10-12 minutes.

No-one had to encourage us oldies to have children in our day but things are sure different nowadays. I had to wait until my DD was married 10 years before she surprised me with the pregnancy news. I'd all but given up and had started giving away all the 'hope chest' items I'd made since they married. :-))
Exactly Judy, we got married and had children. I was a late starter, married 5 years before DD, but I married at 19yrs.
Happy that they are happy. Would be happier if they got on with it :D

"Think Raw Veggies are Best? Think Again
by Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist on October 13, 2010

I stopped by one of my favorite healthfood stores today to pick up a large cup of fresh, organic veggie juice for an early lunch on the go. As usual, I asked for the a carrot, celery, beet, spinach and cucumber blend - hold the spinach.
While this request is usually met with a simple nod by the juice bar attendant, this time the guy looks up and says, “Why no spinach? We have a lot of Raw Foodies that come in here and love the spinach in their juice.”
Ah! Great question! I could feel a blog coming on ….
Raw Foodies, I love you, I REALLY REALLY DO (but, PLEASE eat some meat! You’re looking a wee bit pale).
Not everything should be eaten raw, especially vegetables!
Some vegetables must be cooked else you are actually harming yourself. Below is a rundown of what veggies should not be eaten raw either in whole or juiced form.
Cruciferous Vegetables
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but cruciferous vegetables should be cooked before eating as they contain chemicals that BLOCK the production of thyroid hormone in your body! Considering that 2 out of every 3 Westerners are either overweight or obese and this is projected to jump to 75% by 2020, this is of particular importance as folks struggling with weight usually suffer from borderline to full blown hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone, so someone suffering from this condition surely does not want to be eating foods that will block what little thyroid hormone is being produced in the first place!
Symptoms of hypothyroidism include cold hands and feet, thinning hair, fatigue, reduced or nonexistent libido, coarse dry hair, constipation, difficulty losing weight, and depression among many others.
Cooking crucifers reduces the goitrogenic substances by about 2/3. Fermentation does not reduce goitrogens in these veggies, but since fermented crucifers such as sauerkraut are typically eaten as a condiment and, hence, in small amounts, consumption is fine if the diet is rich in iodine.
Here is the list of common cruciferous vegetables that you do not want to be eating raw if you want to protect your thyroid gland!
Arugula, broccoli, kale, cauliflower, cabbage, turnip, collard greens, bok choy, brussels sprouts, radish, rutabaga, and watercress.
Notice that many of these vegetables are commonly included in fresh veggie juice blends or in salads. While an occasional arugula salad or cup of coleslaw is not going to do harm to most folks, it would be wise not to make a habit of eating/drinking any of these vegetables in raw form.
Veggie Greens
Some veggie greens contain a chemical called oxalic acid. Oxalic acid is a very irritating substance to the mouth and intestinal tract. It also blocks iron and calcium absorption and may contribute to the formation of kidney stones.
The good news is that oxalic acid is reduced by a light steaming or cooking – just be sure to discard the cooking water.
Veggies containing oxalic acid include spinach, chard, parsley, chives, purslane and beet greens.
Hmmmm. Spinach is known for being high in iron, yet eating it raw will not necessarily give you the iron you want because of the oxalic acid?
Yep, that’s right. Cook that spinach first if you are seeking an iron boost without the indigestion and don’t get hooked on the raw spinach salads!
Don’t stress about munching the parsley garnish on your next gourmet dinner, though. A little bit here and there is not going to cause a problem. Eat a big spinach salad everyday and it is virtually certain you will eventually succumb to kidney stones, according to Dr. William Shaw, Director of The Great Plains Laboratory for Health, Nutrition and Metabolism.
Other Raw Veggie Cautions
Other vegetables that are best to avoid eating raw include:
Raw potatoes contain hemagglutinins that disrupt red blood cell function.
Raw sweet potatoes will give you gas.
Raw, edible mushrooms such as the common white mushroom contain toxic substances such as agaritine, a suspected carcinogen. These substances are heat sensitive and are neutralized by cooking.
Alfalfa sprouts are mildly toxic and inhibit the immune system. Eating them on a frequent basis can even contribute to inflammatory arthritis and lupus!
Dr. Weston A. Price’s Take On Vegetables
A good rule of thumb when considering the best way to consume your veggies is to remember the letter that Dr. Weston A. Price wrote to his nieces and nephews in 1934. In this letter, he strongly urged them to eat their vegetables cooked in butter. His research found that the bulkiness (fiber) of raw vegetables interfered with the human body’s ability to extract minerals from them via the digestive process.
So, should you drink your veggies raw? Of course. Fresh juice from veggies that are safe to consume raw is a wonderful way to get a fast infusion of easy to digest, colloidal minerals. It is also highly alkalizing to the body and a proven way to gently detox the gut.
The great thing about veggie juice is that the fiber is removed, which is the “bulkiness” that Dr. Price found interfered with the mineral absorption.
However, if you are going to eat the fibrous portion of the vegetable, it is best to cook them in butter as advised by Dr. Price to enhance the availability of the minerals. The fat in the butter permits greater absorption of the minerals, and besides, buttered veggies taste fantastic!

I don't know if I'm imagining it but I've had this for the past 2 mornings and I seem to have more energy than usual. I've certainly achieved a lot more around the house ;D
It can be used as a dessert but I like quick breakfasts and this suits the bill for 3-4 serves, not large but it is filling.

If you like things to pre soak have you tried Bircher muesli JD?
Here is a recipe.
Use fruit juice or milk to soak overnight as a variation.
Grated apple and nuts is traditional, but any fresh fruit is great. I love it and will be offering it for B and B guests on preorder.

The first thing I am going to cook in it is Quirky Jo's Christmas Breakfast Casserole (http://quirkycooking.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/christmas-breakfast-casserole.html).
It sounds wonderful and a good recipe to try the new oven even though it is after Christmas Day.
Sorry I am not sure how to link the recipe. It is on the Quirky Cooking Blog - done for you ;)

Congratulatiins, that is one thing I cannot master :)

Lately, I've been having what I call Chia Porridge. It's chia pudding, but I think it's best served as a breakfast meal. I use the recipe from an e-book I downloaded from Alexx Stuart called Real Treats. Here's a link to her page: Real Treats (http://alexxstuart.com/my-new-book-real-treats-now-available-on-amazon)

"I found a recipe in SFI for Chia & Coconut Pudding which I've had for breakfast. Easy as, the night before soak 400g can lite coconut cream (I used coconut milk), 1/3 cup honey (80g) - a bit too sweet for me so I'll adjust that down next time & 1/3 cup chia seeds (65g). Place in a container and stir well. Cover and store in the fridge overnight. Top with some berries for a lovely breakfast, particularly on a hot day."
Way too much honey so be careful with that ingredient.

2 Thai coconuts.
2 tlbsp coconut sugar
3 probiotic tablets
Place the juice from 1 coconut and flesh from both coconuts into TMX.
Add sugar and empty the probiotic capsules.
Mix until combined and a thick consistency. If a bit thin then add shredded coconut until thicker.
Put into a container and loosely cover, leave overnight on the bench.
It should have little bubbles in it, don't worry too much if it doesn't have bubbles just taste it and if it's to your liking put in fridge.
It lasts about 3 days in the fridge.

I am trying to undo some of the damage wrought by the festive season. Home made bread topped with egg, greens and tomatoes from the backyard, homemade marmalade and green tea with ginger and lemon. Mmm not bad.

We had AF mushrooms with a poached egg on top and wilted spinach on top of that, with bacon AF also. Yum also.

Having had a reduced appetite for a while I am being much more on the ball about what eat now I am getting better. Using my fitness pal to track it, and hope to keep the previously relapsed bad habits at bay, I'd better not read the desert or cake thread for a while!

We were just given some fresh eggs from our neighbours chooks, straight from underneath the chickens - so we are having scrambled eggs with grilled ham and tomatoes and fresh basil.
Aren't they the best, Karen! When I've given our eggs away I've always been told how good they were. I didn't pay too much attention to the compliment as I used to think an egg is an egg..... until a while back I had a half dozen eggs from the local shop. Oh my goodness!! What a difference!! I even had to toss one of them. I count mine getting old when they're over a week! ;D store bought eggs can be 6+ weeks old I'm told.

One good thing is I've found a man close by with backyard chooks and he is willing to sell to me as long as I have my own egg carton - no problem. ;D

3 tbs plum puree (sweetened when made)
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 cup Greek yoghurt
1 tbs sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbs chia seeds
1/4 cup oats
8 cubes ice
Blitzed 1.5 mins/speed 8 and it made 2 medium glasses.
Post by: judydawn on February 19, 2015, 09:48:22 pm
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup low fat Greek yoghurt
1.5 tsp chia seeds
1 tbs peanut butter
1/4 cup ripe banana (mine was very ripe so I mashed it)
Place everything in a jar (I included the banana at this stage seeing as it was mashed), give it a good shake and refrigerate up to 2 days.
There are lots of variations of this theme on their website.

I am loving the food in jars at the moment.
I have had my knee replaced a week ago so moving etc is difficult. I can make salads and breakfast in jars quickly and easily with thermomix and I have good food for several days in the fridge .
A bonus is the jars are easy to carry while walking with a walking stick or crutches.!

APPLE, QUINOA, PECAN BIRCHER MUESLI serves 2
55g quinoa flakes
½ cup water
150g red skinned apple, coarsely grated with box grater
70g yoghurt (I use Greek style)
1 tbsp agave nectar – (I use 2 tsp light and that is plenty sweet for me)
1 tsp vanilla extract
20g toasted pecans, chopped for sprinkling
Combine quinoa and water in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
The next morning, stir grated apple, yoghurt, nectar and extract into quinoa mixture. Divide into 2 servings and sprinkle each serving with the toasted chopped nuts.
If you don't mix in the nuts they will stay crunchy on the serve you will be having the next morning. :D

Post by: JulieO on May 11, 2015, 08:46:28 am
I got the recipe on line a while ago but can't for the life of me now find the blog to link to :-)) Will post the recipe though for anyone interested.
HOME MADE GRANOLA
2 cups of nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts)
1 tbsp (20ml spoon) ground cinnamon
1 tsp each: ground nutmeg, all spice
¼ tsp each: ground cloves, ground ginger
8-10 pitted dates, cut into thirds
2 cups flaked coconut
2 cups rolled oats
55g coconut oil, melted in microwave, about 40 secs on High
drizzle pure maple syrup, (used about 2 - 3 tsp)
Preheat oven 180C. Line a large baking tray with a silpat or baking paper.
Place nuts, spices and dates into TM bowl. Pulse the Turbo button until chopped to your liking. (It's nice to get different sized bits, so don't try and get too perfect).
Remove to a large bowl.
Add the flaked coconut and rolled oats and combine with your hands.
Combine the melted coconut oil and maple syrup then pour over the granola. Combine with a spoon until fully mixed.
Arrange over the tray and bake for about 30 mins, turning the mixture over now and then with an egg flip.
Remove from the oven and let sit on the tray to cool.
When cool, place into some containers and store it in the freezer. It keeps nice and fresh in there and lasts for ages. Can be eaten straight from the freezer without a problem.
Serve with a dollop of yoghurt and some berries if desired.

Both DH and I had some this morning, just with a little milk. Really nice and you don't need much at all.
Of course, please add more maple syrup for more sweetness if you prefer but I liked it the way I've posted it.
I can imagine it would be lovely with sliced strawberries and or blueberries added.
Makes a fair bit too so am going to keep in the freezer to keep fresh. :D
I've also found another nice sounding recipe that I'll make when I've used this one up. Has more sweetness in it but again it sounds lovely and I've kept the link for the blog so will post when I get around to making that. :)
Thanks Wonder, I hope you like it. :)

I dug my waffle machine out of the cupboard last week and we have been enjoying Michelle Bridges apple and cranberry waffles the last few days. They are really lovely, quick and easy. They are nice plain but I've been topping with warmed blueberries and a tiny amount of maple syrup.

Insert butterfly and whisk 3 egg whites until stiff. Remove to a separate bowl.
In same bowl (without cleaning) melt 125gm butter.
Add 450ml milk, 3 egg yolks, 1t vanilla, 1/4 cup of caster sugar and 2 cups of SR. flour to the butter. Mix on sp4 for 5secs, scrape down sides and repeat.
I then fold the egg whites in by hand to keep it as light as possible.

Funny you should say that Kimmy. When DH got back from NZ on Sunday and I made a roast chicken dinner and sticky date pudding (his favourites) to spoil him - his response "SPOIL" this is how it should always be :-))
That's exactly what my DH would say.

This morning I made this fishy spread.
2 anchovies
Small can of tuna in spring water, drained, 100g
100 g butter
Mashed together in TMX.
Spread on hot toast.
I will freeze most as there are more than 12 serves here.
When I have breakfast out, I always have the same thing. Grilled tomatoes and bacon on SD toast. Never eggs as they are not as fresh as our home grown ones.
Post by: Delightful Den on August 10, 2015, 08:08:48 am
I have been making porridge most work mornings. I use someones reicpe from here (I cant remember who's it is) and have modified it a little. I chop a small apple then add the oats, about 5-10 grams of sugar some sultanas, nutmeg and cinnamon. I wish I could figure out a way add some protien to this then it would be perfect.

It was quite runny after cooking, but leaving it to sit for a few mins while I made a cup of tea allowed it to thicken enough to eat. The other serve I had this morning wasn't stogey enough for me to have to add any more milk to.
CINNAMON & BANANA PORRIDGE serves 2 – 300 cals/serve (you could bring down the calories further to 263/serve if you used 200g milk + 175g water).
75g rolled oats
375g reduced-fat milk
1 large banana, pulled into chunks
½ tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp maple syrup to serve
Place all ingredients except maple syrup into TM bowl.
Cook 7 mins/90C/Reverse + speed 2.
Let sit in the bowl for a few mins to thicken up slightly, (will stay hot).
Divide among 2 serving bowls and drizzle with the maple syrup.

I've got something similar soaking overnight for me for tomorrow. It's a very simple recipe called Blueberry & apple bircher muesli that needs 60ml of fresh apple juice added to the milk and oats to soak. As I was going to use my juicer to make green juices today, I juiced an apple for it first before starting on all the other stuff. The oats are soaking now. Fresh blueberries and thin slices of green apple get added on top before serving. The recipe comes from the Women's Weekly 21 day diet planner book, only 152 cals/serve too. :)

Recipe from the Women's Weekly 21 day diet planner book.
CHERRY PARFAIT serves 2 – 154 cals/serve
1 tbsp raw sugar
2 tbsp (40ml) water
150g fresh or frozen cherries, pips removed
190g reduced fat yoghurt (used Greek style)
2 tsp vanilla extract
pinch ground cinnamon
2 tbsp rolled oats, toasted in dry non stick frypan
Combine sugar, water and cherries in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 2 mins or until syrup thickens. Remove to a small bowl and cool.
Combine yoghurt, vanilla and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Divide half the cherry mix between 2 small glasses (I found Martini glasses were perfect).
Top with half the yoghurt.
Divide remaining cherry mixture and yoghurt between the 2 glasses.
If you are making ahead, cover both glasses and refrigerate overnight.
Sprinkle with oats just before serving.

I used up the left over banana and mango by adding a bit of natural yoghurt to them and then pureeing in the TM. Had enough mixture to pour into 2 ice block moulds, will be great for the upcoming hot couple of days. ;D

I had a ½ cup scoop this morning with reduced fat milk and a few fresh blueberries. I can't imagine anyone not liking it. ;D
I'll keep my container in the fridge while it's summer.
As this is a UK site, remember that the tablespoons are equal to 3 tsp here in Oz. :D

Could use either frozen or fresh blueberries (I used fresh) which I warmed gently on Defrost setting to warm them enough to start to release their juices. They were layered with natural yoghurt and granola (used the one I made last week) and topped with a tiny drizzle of agave.

COFFEE & DATE PORRIDGE serves 2 (I reduced this from 4 servings)
70g rolled oats
½ tsp instant coffee granules
375g water
½ tsp vanilla bean paste
20ml maple syrup, plus extra to serve
30ml single pouring cream, plus extra to serve
3 fresh dates, pitted and chopped (reduced this from 6 as I thought 1 ½ for each serve was enough, but it's a personal choice)
Place oats, coffee, water, vanilla and maple syrup in TM bowl. Cook 9 mins/90C/speed spoon.
Add in the cream and mix on speed 1 for a few seconds until combined. Leave in bowl for a couple of mins to thicken to desired consistency.
Divide between 2 bowls and serve with dates, extra cream and maple syrup.

I sliced some raw beetroot on the mandolin and then dried it in the dehydrater. Ground it to flakes in TMX. I added 1 teaspoon of flakes to my cooked rolled oats. Lovely and healthy. 1 teaspoon of the flakes is equal to 1 small beetroot.(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160609/9a79db8ae0482f2f693962cc6f060b4b.jpg)(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160609/806c4df89b1bb5f783b8fa773f2acc30.jpg)

I use the proper culture grains that I buy from Cheeselinks but you can also use the powder from 2 Inner Health Plus capsules. You may also be able to use some yoghurt from a pot set lot but to be honest I've only used culture grains for years now so can't comment on that.
The recipe I use is one I put together from a few that I'd either seen or actually tried but changed to suit me.It lasts a while in the fridge in a sterilized jar and seems to taste better as time goes on (well I think so anyway).
CREAMY COCONUT YOGHURT
400ml AYAM coconut cream or milk (coconut cream is just the best) Have now found other brands don't 'set' as well.
2 tsp unrefined coconut oil
1 tbsp tapioca flour OR rice flour (have used both and don't have a preference)
2 tsp pure maple syrup
1/8 tsp Cheese-links granules OR contents of 2 Inner Health Plus capsules
STERILIZE 1 PINT MASON JAR AND PLASTIC LID you will be incubating in this and storing.
Add coconut cream/milk and coconut oil to TM bowl. Cook 10 mins/100C/speed 5.
Add rice/tapioca flour. Cook 5 mins/37C/speed 5.
Place uncovered TM bowl in the fridge and cool until temp reads 37C. (take out of fridge now and then, swirl and then check with thermapen or put back in the TM housing and mix on speed 3 for a few seconds to check the temp). When temp shows between 37 - 39C then;
Add maple syrup and culture granules OR Inner health powder .
If using culture granules; combine 2 mins/speed 2 ½ OR;
If using Inner health plus powder; mix 20 secs/speed 5.
Pour into sterilized jar, cover with plastic lid and place into my electric incubator.
Leave for 12 - 16 hours or so. The longer you leave it, the tangier it will be and less sweet.
Remove jar from incubator and refrigerate immediately without opening the lid for 12 hours until chilled and thickened. Use as desired.
You could add vanilla at this point or any flavour your like.

French SD toast with Chilli jam this morning. Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. Sometimes I cook myself a kipper.
Post by: JulieO on January 06, 2020, 11:41:20 pm
I will wait until the new incubator arrives and make some as it's been a few weeks since I last had any. I'll post a photo of how thick and luscious it is. ;D
Post by: judydawn on January 07, 2020, 05:15:54 am
Chookie I’ve been having bought coconut yoghurt too, found 2 low carb ones for my keto programme.
For breakfast this morning I made a batch of strawberry chia pudding last night which will last me quite a few days for brekky and dessert if I want it. I halve the recommended size to 80g so will get 8 serves from a 4 person recipe. By reducing the carbs I get to eat other things without worrying I’m having too many carbs. It’s plenty for me and kept me going until lunchtime. https://lowcarbyum.com/strawberry-almond-milk-chia-pudding/

Nice of DH to set things up for you cookie.
Speaking of eggs, I spoke to my reasonably new back neighbours for the first time last week. I commented on the clucking of his chickens (something I enjoy) and next thing I’m being given a dozen excess eggs. I was thrilled to bits.
Post by: JulieO on January 08, 2020, 06:26:10 am
RAL has the same thing for breakfast every morning. I get bored with the same thing. 2 days in a row is enough for me. We have lots of fresh eggs so I often make an omelet. Usually have a slice of SD toast . Do try to watch the carbs but find this hard.
Julie , I will watch with interest your new yoghurt machine.
It was sent yesterday so hoping early next week, though with the fires I guess there could be a hold up on route. No hurry though and I will be using straight away as I want to make both coconut and natural so it will get christened. :D
Great about the eggs Judy. We'e been buying large eggs that come from a farm every couple of weeks, what a difference from the ones from the supermarket. :o

I only made half the recipe as it's only for me and it still made plenty and it will keep in the fridge. I have eaten it for the past 4 mornings and I have really enjoyed it.
I can understand why they take it with them when away as everywhere you stay has an electric kettle so it would be a perfect and healthy start to your day.
When we travel by road it's usually a very early start and I usually don't feel like anything before we leave home. I can see myself making this in a keep warm cup (minus the fruit) then when hungry can just add some fruit and eat. I haven't tried it cool/cold as yet but I don't think I'd mind it at all.
I've found the perfect combo is 70g of the dry ingredients with 125g boiling water, stir and sit for 5 mins. I didn't need to add any more water to it, just the toppings.
Keep it in a container in the fridge, one that has room enough for the contents to move around well when you give it a shake before scooping some out.
Thought I'd share this for anyone who hasn't seen the email. :D

Judy, it's not really a hot meal as by the time it has sat for 5 mins a lot of the heat has gone out of it, unless you re-heat or add more boiling water of course. I'm so enjoying it and Alyce's claim of ' it moves the crap out of your system', I can confirm to be true. ;D

I had the last of it yesterday and made another lot so I wouldn't miss a day. If I'm still feeling the same at the end of this batch I will then make up the full amount so I won't have to worry about it for a couple of weeks. Keep it in the fridge.
I'm sure I'll have a break for a day now and then, but I'm really enjoying the benefits. I change up the fresh fruit to what I have in at the time. :D

I had something different today which happens to be a favourite. It's a Michelle B recipe, simply 2 wholemeal crumpets, spread with a little tahini, some thin apple slices on top then drizzled with 1/4 tsp pure maple syrup. Supposed to sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves which I've done in the past and they do give a nice flavour kick to it, but I don't usually bother when I make this. Really enjoyed it this morning. :D

Was very creative with one of my bread disasters. I was trying to make a SD loaf with just dark rye flour. i was so disgusted with the result that I left it on bench overnight. Next day made a mixture of 200 g bread flour , 2 teaspoons yeast, 260 warm water and 300 g of the rye dough. TMX , did the work. Made 3 loaves. Olive, Caraway and fruit. Pleased as all very good and I didn’t waste the original mix.

Most mornings I have 1 home grown egg on 1 piece of toast and a large cup of tea. Sometimes I poach the egg, sometimes I scramble it and sometimes French toast. Lately I have been having grilled cherry tomatoes from the garden as well.
Just for variety, I sometimes have a grilled kipper or a small piece of grilled black pudding.

I'm still eating the Super fibre porridge twice a week (Mon + Fri) and still enjoy it. ;D
