What's for breakfast?

Eggbeaters whole wheat/whole grain French toast x 4 with fake butter (benecol
lite) and avocado slices with a tall glass of fat-free milk and a
multivitamin.

Bowl of oatmeal topped with cinnamon and a tablespoon of real butter.
Oatmeal cooked in skim milk. That's as far as I go with fat free. I
would rather take the simvastin.

I finally tried the peanut butter that is mixed with dark
chocolate--with an organic berry spread in a sandwich. It tasted fine,
but I can't help thinking that this PB is not as good for you as normal
PB. (Wellll, dark chocolate does contain antioxidants, but there are
other additives.) That was washed down by cafe au lait.

I'm laughing at the "lite" and the fat free milk, then you throw in the
avocado which is very high in fat Okay, I know you're balancing it out,
just struck me as funny!

When I'm sufficiently awake I'll have standard breakfast fa a couple of
slices of whole grain toast with butter, 2 eggs (probably scrambled). This
time instead of a couple of slices of bacon I've got some fresh pork sausage
links. I'll cook those up and scramble the eggs in a bit of the pork fat.
Tall glass of fat free milk just because I love the stuff

Jill,

Avo is mainly mono-unsat. fat (the best kind), thankfully!!! I've given up
so many foods.

I like your breakfast better. [sigh]

Nothing wrong with Egg Beaters. I use them from time to time myself. I've
had benecol spread (not the lite version, though) at Mom's and it's not bad
as far as butter subs go. I've gotten so used to skim milk even 2% tastes
heavy to me. But it has to be ICE COLD!

I've not liked any form of plain milk since my early teens. I
simply have to eat something with it as, for example, cereal or
a banana. I find fat-free milk most palatable

I can't ever remember liking plain milk. It always felt like phlegm
sliding down my throat. I have not had a glass of milk in more than
30 years, but I use a bit of whole milk on my cereal.

Tracy,

I never heard of Uncle Sam cereal. I found their website. Looks very
nutritious and natural. I'll have to try a box!

Thanks,

Okay, this is some 20 years ago... I used to buy Orowheat whole wheat
hamburger buns around 1988. This was really before the entire "whole wheat"
thing had really caught on in grocery stores outside of California. And
there I sat in Tennessee. I was reading the ingredients on the package one
day and it said, "wood chips". I'm not making this up. Wood chips in my
hamburger buns?!

I'm sure they've changed that, but I never could figure it out. I just
stopped buying that brand.

Here's what I bought the Orowheat whole wheat buns for, and I quote most of
a post from 2002 (so sorry, Peter Lucas, the Post-Lengthmaster!)

Turkey Burgers "Indienne"

16 oz. lean ground turkey
2 green onions, minced
1-2 tsp. Tabasco pepper sauce (to taste)
2 tsp. soy sauce
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. sesame oil
4 wholewheat buns, lightly toasted

In mixing bowl, combine turkey, minced green onion, soy, ginger, Tabasco and
sesame oil. Form mixture into 4 thick patties (about 3/4 inch thick; they
will shrink). Oven-broil or grill 5-6 inches from heat about 5 minutes on
each side, pressing lightly when turning. Serve on toasted wheat buns with
your choice of toppings. Serves 4

I'm not exactly sure what "Indienne" means. It came from Cooking Light
Magazine, I remember that. But what I read on the label of the Orowheat
hamburger buns, which were the only ones I could find at the time, made me
shudder.

<good sounding recipe duly cut & pasted>

When I use ground turkey I prefer the ground turkey NOT the ground turkey
breast which is about as dry and grainy as dirt. Maybe the other
ingredients rescue it?

I remember Orowheat. Didn't it become Branola (a favorite bread for years)?
Then Branola disappeared. Maybe it's Arnold now but Arnold is squishy
compared to what Branola was.

Wood chips? For flavor or fiber? Hmmm...

The seasonings for that burger are an attempt to impart some flavor to
the pathetic substitute known as ground turkey, which is marketed to
the low-fat crowd. Very similar to adding cellulose to bread as a
marketing device to the low-carb crowd. Irony strikes again. -aem

Yeah, I figured as much 20 years ago. That was also when they were
screaming ground turkey was "low fat". But I it was a sign of the times,
you know? Who knew they were grinding all that fat into the "low fat"
concoction? Pays to read labels.

I briefly tried 'Cooking Light' magazine again about five years ago but
quickly found out they were ALL about desserts. Excuse me, low-cal...
desserts. "Eat all You want!" Um, no. There was no sensible cooking
advice.

I did get a few great tried and true recipes from that magazine... but that
was back around 1986.

A breakfast burrito from Jack In The Box. I'd been meaning to try one and
finally remembered. Not bad for a FF two-buck breakfast. Better than
FF muffin stuff.

Blinky,

Funny you should mention it, #1 Bud in California always stops off at Del
Taco for a breakfast burrito on the way to work! Twice cursed!!!

I gag at the thought. Del Taco almost ruined my affection for Mexican food.
There was no breakfast burrito at Gag-in-the-Bag when I lived there but I
loved their ultimate cheeseburger!

Let me state for the record, In my lifetime, I HAVE evolved! Sharks just
adapt! They'll eat anything.

Best,

Andy

I can count on one hand the number of times I've been to a Del Taco. Same
for Taco Bell. I'm not averse to FF, but those are just always under my
radar; when I want Mexican, I don't FF -- even though I sure do when I
feel like a burger.

Not without two or three trips through one of the carwashes that still
use those big rotary brushes.

Yikes! That's even worse than a torture session consisting of repeated
playings of Horse With No Name.

She talks about the angst of growing up Jewish in a gentile rich
environment. Sandra, it wasn't about being Jewish; people were just sick
and tired of having to restart and reset their clocks whenever you left
the room.

Depends on what day it is and what I feel like I want when I wake up.
Every day it's coffee and orange juice. After that it could be bacon,
eggs and toast... just toast (sometimes with marmalade)... cold cereal
with 1% milk.... hot oatmeal (apple cinnamon is best).... bagel cut
in half with cream cheese and raisins... or a bagel with a slice of
American Cheddar cheese on top and heated in the microwave...
for pancakes, a friend of ours gave us a bag of Knott's Berry Farm
Buttermilk Pancake mix to try and it makes the best pancakes (in my
opinion). A little butter and pure maple syrup, a couple of sausage
links and I'm all set until dinner time. ;-)

I drove up to Mom & Dad's this morning to take Mom to her Dr. appointment since Dad
is laid up sick.
We made bacon (thick sliced), eggs, english muffins, and hash browns.
