Breakfast for the Holidays

Tips for Holiday Breakfast

Plan it out before the holiday trip to the grocery store.

Prep it the night before.

Make it a light meal that has lots of protein. 

You're going to need the energy to make it through the day. 

Ideas:

Oatmeal with raisins and Peanut Butter

Apple slices with Peanut Butter

Fresh Fruit with Yogurt

Yogurt and Nuts

Granola and Fruit

Hot tea with honey 

Warm Milk and Honey

If you like eggs go for it. If you want an omelet try using more 

egg whites than yolks. This will decrease the cholesterol greatly. 

Pack your omelets full of veggies and try using Extra Virgin Olive Oil 

instead of butter.

My mom used to make Cinnamon Rolls for Christmas Breakfast.

We loved it but we would crash as soon as the gifts were open.

Also, the healthier the breakfast, the more likely you'll make healthier 

choices for the rest of the day.

New take On An Old Recipe

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

So I want to bake something tasty to have after our Swiss chard, Kale soup.

But we are out of flour! Story of my life! 

So I'm going to try to use Pancake mix and oats as a substitute. 

I'm also going to have to make up for any changes that may make in the sweetness of the cookie.

So we will see how they turn out. 

Pictures to follow.


Results:
Pancake flour works!
But i had to keep adding it to the batter after each batch.
The first batch was completely flat and gooey and crumbed while warm.
The second batch that had a little more pancake flour, was a little thicker and fluffier.
The third batch was fine. But I will continue to fix the recipe.
Instead of butter I will try shortening to make them fluffier and thicker.
But they did all taste great. My boy friend Jacob loved them and didn't care what they looked like.
So I guess the flavor was perfect.
