My grand daughter is coming over this morning, which means pancakes and bacon. I use yogurt rather than buttermilk, because the buttermilk never seems to get used up. Often I add blueberries. What are yours like? |

That's a big recipe. What is the yield? That's 8 cups of flour. |

Yes, I usually cut the recipe in half for just two people, and we use it up in a month or two. I figure that my pancakes are pretty healthy, except maybe for the syrup poured on them. They contain home ground whole wheat flour so the wheat germ is still there, plus powdered milk. Also, adding blueberries and/or nuts, help the nutritional value. |

When it comes to anything sweet I forget about 'healthy' ingredients. I need a treat now and then. I deserve it. So pour that maple syrup on. Moderation is for monks. |

I finally found some gluten free oatmeal, not easy to find. Now I can have oatmeal, blueberries and almond milk. I'm starting to feel that I may get to the end of the tunnel with this gluten thing. I got a liter of maple syrup on sale, forgot to get the ginger. Edited by Darcie, Feb 14 2015, 12:34 PM.

Someone told me oatmeal was gluten free. Is that true? |

Darcie, delighted to see that you are taking an avid interest in food again. I think turning it into a treasure hunt is a good idea. |

A quick search online regarding oats is that they are indeed naturally gluten free. alright, I already knew that but it seems many people do not and the advertising agents working for some companies have come up with a fantastic gimmick with gluten-free oatmeal. If processed in a wheat, or fully gluten free, facility there is nothing to worry about other than perhaps more fibre than one might be used to. Now to convince my daughter of this. I resent paying so much for oats. |

Not true Agate, you must find some that says gluten free on it. |

I have yogurt with fruit and nuts and seeds most mornings. I always laugh at my sister who is so rigid with her breakfast, I doubt it has varied for years, yogurt, sliced apple, walnuts and cinnamon. I at least change things up by having a variety of fruit etc to choose from and never have any of the toppings she has. |

I still have a great interest in recipes and in the food. It is eating it that is a problem. I did manage to have a baked potato for lunch and a yogurt, but it just doesn't taste right. Maybe that is the problem, my taste buds are just not behaving. |

Our week basically goes: Eggs Pancakes (or waffles) Eggs Oatmeal Eggs (only steel cut anymore) French toast Eggs The eggs can come as scrambled, over-easy, cheese omelet, or hard-boiled (devilled)...ever couple weeks poached over hash. Way, way too many eggs, but they are easy, we both adore them and we buy jumbos regularly for 3 dozen for $5. (Lipitor and eggs is a delightful combo.) Oh every second Thursday I make a protein shake. <<French Toast just came out of the kitchen...bye>> Edited by Trotsky, Feb 16 2015, 03:08 AM.

The science regarding egg intake seems to be turned on its head. After making people throw out the yokes (a barbaric practice), we are now told they are good for us. I think they are a wonderful food, affordable and delicious. |

I have eaten at least one egg per day for over 20 plus years. Last month my cholesterol was textbook perfect I am told by my doctor. |

Yes, apparently the whole idea that the food you eat is responsible for your cholesterol level is wrong. |

They are finding more and more of these speculations on what goes on in our bodies to be wrong. I hope they get over some of the ones that are so insulting to people who do the best they can with the genes they were handed and stop blaming them for things they cant help. |
