Applewood smoked bacon
Scrambled eggs with cheese, salsa & avocado on the side

Ham and cheddar sandwiches on tiny little buns
Shrimp ring with cocktail sauce
Lefse
Potato salad
Sour cream apple pie
Seven Layer Magic Cookie Bars

We forgot the baked beans, but that's okay. Everyone was stuff
anyway.

This was our belated Christmas dinner with Kidzilla (now 5 months
pregnant and looking more like 7 months), her fiance (they're getting
married next month), her mother, and her step-father. We get together
with them every year on Christmas Eve. This holiday turned out to be
a little weird.

Oh believe me, it is. It is from the book by David Lebovitz, called
Ripe for Dessert.

This is the 2nd time I have made this bread pudding, and I really
think it is one of the better ones I have made. Next time I am
thinking that dried apricots might be a good addition it it.

They would, indeed! I love using dried apricots. The last time I used
them in a dessert, I cooked and mashed them to a coarse, thick puree as a
filling for fried pies. I love those things!

Same thing I've been eating every morning since I started on my "once a day
oatmeal--once a day beans" to see if I can lower cholesterol and blood
pressure, per posters here on this ng. I'm really serious about this. This
is not a resolution.
After a couple of cups of hot tea - no milk or sugar or honey,
One bowl which has this in it:
1)TJ's Organic Oatmeal, steel-cut oats, or the TJ's combination of oats,
barley & wheat
2)Ground Flax seed & wheat germ
3)Stonyfarm Yogurt
4) Teensy bit of Coconut Milk
5)Organic Italian honey
6)Ceylon or Vietnamese Cinnamon
7)Organic sunflower seeds
8)Dried Blueberries cooked with the oatmeal in distilled water or reverse
osmosis water
I top it off with Multi Enzymes and Probiotics, some red yeast & extra
Vitamin D -- yum yum good.
No decisions here -- off I go to make it a great day!

Bravo for Bob and Dee! Fantastic!

I will start tomorrow. :-) Really.

My first meal was a bacon taste test -- two different brands as described in
another thread. The bacon was closely followed by toasted leftover baguette
w/ a tiny bit of butter and some blackberry jam. And a cup of tea with a
teensy bit of sugar.

North Country Cob-smoked bacon was the clear winner...fantastic smoky taste
(though as noted by others, possibly too smoky for some dishes involving
bacon...but straight up, it's great stuff!). Dan Phillips' Secret Special
Blend (or something like that) was very good, as well. Hormel -- plonk.

Trader Joe's. Seedless. The squarish jar with the white label. I like it,
but must confess that whenever I take the jar out of the fridge, I think of
you and wonder how much better your blackberry jam is!

A few years ago I made blackberry something (jam? preserves? can't remember
which, it was my first time). They were quite yummy (if I do say so
myself!). I found a jar of that stuff recently, but didn't know whether it
would still be any good. I had used the "shortcut" method on the pectin box
of standing the jars upside down in boiling water, rather then the "real"
way, and I think the box said that you shouldn't keep the shortcut kind
around as long as the other kind. So I chucked it. It was fun, though.

Oat bran really does work...
and makes a delicious hot cereal!
It reminds me of cream of wheat with a better texture.

When I was going after lowering cholesterol, I went for oat bran cooked
in water, then I added fresh fat free home made unflavored yogurt to
that with a little Splenda.

It's not bad at all!!!!!

Bouncing this against the list of "14 Superfoods" it's rather impressive:

Beans
Blueberries CHECK!
Broccoli
Oats CHECK!
Oranges
Pumpkin
Salmon
Soy
Spinach
Tea -- green or black CHECK!
Tomatoes
Turkey
Walnuts
Yogurt CHECK!


You're having beans at one of your other meals, right? You *could* notch up
another item by putting soymilk either into your tea or your oatmeal. And
it looks like walnuts would fit right in with your oatmeal, too.

But I suppose adding broccoli, oranges, pumpkin, salmon, spinach, tomatoes,
and turkey to your oatmeal would take away some of its appeal. :-)

Thanks Bob for the 14 foods. Yesterday in addition, I got the beans,
salmon, oranges, spinach and tomatoes. Everytime DH gets a hand-full of
walnuts, I have a few, so I get the walnuts.

Broccoli and pumpkin are foods I don't get enough of. Broccoli must be
good because it taste like fish to me, yuk! I think I'll have some tofu
today. Turkey? well, I wonder what about it made the top list instead of
chicken.

Re-looking at the sunflower seeds for the omega 3, I was definitely wrong.
The flax I am using takes care of the omega 3. And I use "coromega" fish oil
every day as well.
http://www.pponline.co.uk/encyc/omega-3-omega-6.html

You know, I googled these top foods before, but couldn't find them; thanks
for including them.

this is interesting Bob...did this come from USDA? I would like to

include these foods in our weekly diets as much as possible?

Bacon, egg & cheese biscuits. Been snacking on them all day Happy New
Year!

I had Matzoh Brei made in Stainless Steel All Clad.

What did you make your Scrambled Eggs in? SS or Teflon? How many eggs
were scrambled?

Happy New Year!

I made them on a griddle, actually. My Mom gave me one for Christmas. I did
6 eggs for the 4 of us. Along with the sausage and bacon.

Apple-Cinnamon Pancakes

Scrambled Eggs w/cream
Fresh squeezed grapefruit juice (from Indian River red grapefruit)

Ours was simple too It just sounds more complicated than it is.
The waffles came right out of the book that came with the waffle maker, and
they were scrumptious. The strawberries I prepared last night, since I was
already making the raspberry coulis for drinks. The rest was thrown on the
griddle

Your juice sounds good, I love red grapefruit!

I would have preferred making waffles, but I had a request for pancakes. I
was tempted to make both, but I was too lazy! :-)

If you want to call it a meal . . . . Gingerbread cookies, frosted and

Can you ever be too young for coffee?

When our Dear Son was under a year old we went for a demo boat ride with
a friend whose boat we were considering buying. DS, who was a ravenous
eater, scarfed down the bottle of milk I had remembered to take along,
then cried for more. In the middle of Buzzard's Bay with land far away,
all we had was a thermos of coffee. I poured about 4 ounces of the
lukewarm light, sweet coffee into his bottle, he drank away, snuggled
down contentedly and fell asleep.

We bought the boat and had many happy family excursions in it over the
next 9 years.

My mother, who had 14 godchildren, used to offer "fairy coffee" to the
kids when the adults in the family drank coffee. She served it to the
kids very light and sweet, and they loved it.

See? What I told him, too! He's a heathen and one can't expect too
much from him.

Fairy coffee!! I love it! I'm amazed that the BRG drinks her coffee
without sugar - she likes way too much stuff way too sweet AFAIC.

You're never too young! How old were you when you started drinking it?
I was probably her age. All my life. Hers is half coffee and half
milk -- maybe a little more than half milk. No sugar. That part is
interesting because she's been allowed to dump sugar on most anything,
<baba rolls eyes and crosses herself>. I've added a couple stories and
pics to my webpage (the Sam I Am! tab and the church review on the main
page) -- she's not much for eating the cookies; she just likes to help
in the kitchen.

It's funny - at first I thought "oh my goodness NO I wouldn't give my
kids coffee!" After I thought for a second, I give em tea...so why
not...well, other than the fact that we have 3 adults that drink a lot
of coffee - I don't really need more coffee drinkers in this house lol

A son of a friend of mine was diagnosed ADD quite a few years
ago, one thing she was told to help him was to give him coffee.
Struck me as a strange thing. I guess if it helped him to focus, why
not?

My paternal grandmother started me drinking tea when I was about the age
of Barb's granddaughter, according to my mother. This was in spite of
the fact that both paternal grandparents were heavy coffee drinkers. I
have never acquired the taste for coffee, as much as the SO has tried.
I love the smell of coffee (probably a vestige of childhood), but can't
get the stuff past my lips unless it's Vietnamese iced coffee.

Yesterday I had yogurt and toast for breakfast, and an omelet for lunch.
Last night was the neighborhood Latkepalooza, in honor of the last night
of Hanukkah. White and sweet potato latkes with salad, and cake I made
with some leftover key limes.

I started at about age 3. I do not remember not drinking coffee. I
use to lie on the surveys in elementary school about "what did you
have for breakfast this morning?"

I didn't drink coffee until I was forty. That is also the age when I
started to drink wine and other alcoholic drinks.

I still do not drink any kind of soda or beer. Never had a full glass
of either one.

I guess I was a late starter.
