hey everyone,
just a note on eating 3 meals a day………….i just read the book The Warrior Diet by Ori Hofmekler and i recommend you read it too….basically eat raw fruits and vegetables throughout the day and a huge meal at supper (basically 3 meals in one)…it’s very interesting….me an my boyfriend are experimenting with it……i feel better living this way.

I can’t wait to look through all of these recipes and blogs!
Last week I posted a ketchup recipe and a story about breakfast sammies.

I eat 2 eggs, scrambled, with 2 corn tortillas “fried” in kerrygold butter most mornings. I do really well on this.

I love yogurt, and know the cultures are good for me, but even whole milk fruit yogurt is too sugary for me. I’ve been experimenting and have found a new favorite alternative: I strain plain “bulgarian” yogurt to thicken it a bit (and boy is that whey useful! who knew?!), then add some unsweetened coconut flakes, a chopped gala apple, some chopped pecans, raisins, ground cinnamon (I grind my own, what a difference!), and just a tiny bit of maple syrup. Leave in the fridge overnight, and enjoy in the morning. Sort of a grain-free muesli!

Five years ago when I was 30 lbs lighter, (I’m trying to remember my habits from then!) I made my own muesli: I’d mix up a big batch of rolled oats, chopped pecans, raisins, dried cherries & blueberries (without added sugar) and keep it in my fridge. Before bed I’d put 1/2 cup of that mixture in a bowl, mix with an 8oz container of (whole milk) yogurt, and refrigerate overnight. And I didn’t even know about soaking grains then! Back then I’d also often breakfast on 100% rye crisp bread with a homemade hummus that included black olives and *cooked* garlic, so it was mild.

Thanks for all these great ideas and alternatives!

I did an “overnight breakfast” post a little while back. It may not be exactly “Nourishing Traditions” style but I am sure you can convert the recipes.

Thank you to Kimi and everyone who has contributed to this carnival. I have thoroughly enjoyed the theme for breakfast ideas.

I have recently returned to work after having been put off from my previous position a little over six months ago. My present office has no kitchen facilities except a kettle and fridge, ie. no way to cook or heat things. Here in Australia we are heading into winter. I would appreciate (if you are looking for ideas for the next carnival) for some ‘cold leftover type’ ideas for packed lunches.

Again, love the carnival…. keep up the fabulous work.

I posted one of our new favorites but forgot to comment. We are still learning much about nutrition and what works best for our family so it is helpful to see everyone else’s thoughts and ideas.

I’m slow in getting my mail, but had to share this late breakfast idea that my family has recently flipped for: For each cup of leftover oatmeal you have (rolled or steel-cut), add 2T flour/arrowroot/or baking powder, 1 egg, and 2T milk. Mix thoroughly, pour into casserole and bake at 350 for 45-60min. Can serve warm or cold, cut into squares. We top it with butter and honey or sliced bananas that have cooked on the stove-top in butter and honey. This is my family’s favorite and a good way to use up left-over oatmeal.
