I have been trying out your "break soaking the night before French Toast" method all week. &nbsp; Helps make eating a slice of gluten free&nbsp;bread &nbsp;tolerable.<br />How are you going with the breakfasts Thistle. Are any of the suggestions helping? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1/page/2#post-1243321 Tue, 06 May 2014 10:02:53 +0000 Jjsloane 1243321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of great ideas here. I was fortunate to have no morning sickness both times but did find there were things I did not want to eat.<br />I always have a smoothie and coffee. I put whatever fruit we have in it (always an apple, grapes and banana and then strawberries, carrots, mango, pineapple...kale or spinach) I can generally get kids to have some which is a good thing. I like a hard boiled egg for protein or an egg mug (hungry girl has some great recipes for these) or egg white sandwich. Lately minibagel with cream cheese and lox.&nbsp;<br />I'm going to try Diana's granola this weekend!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1/page/2#post-1242214 Mon, 05 May 2014 08:43:56 +0000 Inge 1242214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, thank you so much for posting your recipe! I definitely like mine crunchy, so not using honey and adding flaxseed or wheat germ is such a good tip.</p> <p>I am going to give it a try soonest. Yum!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1/page/2#post-1241910 Sun, 04 May 2014 23:41:21 +0000 Diana 1241910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here you go, Inge.</p> <p>Super Crunchy Granola</p> <p>3 c rolled oats<br /> ~1 c chopped raw nuts (I like pecans best)<br /> 1/4 c flaxseed powder or wheat germ<br /> (optional) 1/4 c unsweetened coconut flakes</p> <p>3/8 c maple syrup<br /> 3/8 c packed dark brown sugar<br /> 1/4 c vegetable oil<br /> 2 T warm water<br /> 1/2 t salt</p> <p>(optional) 1/2 to 1 c dried fruit, chopped up if big, and/or dark choc chips</p> <p>Preheat oven to 250F (120C) and cover a large baking sheet with foil. Use 2 sheets if you only have small ones. </p> <p>Mix together oats, nuts,flaxseed powder, and optional coconut in a big bowl. In another bowl, mix together syrup, sugar, oil, water, and salt until the sugar is dissolved. Dump this on the dry ingredients and mix well. Spread it out on the baking sheet and bake until toasty. This usually takes 1 to 1.25 hours. Stir it once or twice during baking. It's done when the nuts taste toasty. it won't be super crunchy until its cooled all the way. I usually let it cool on the sheet overnight. Stir in the dried fruit if using only after its completely cool. </p> <p>Lasts forever in an airtight container. (A ziplock bag works fine.). </p> <p>Note there is NO honey in this recipe. I took it out because honey prevents the granola from getting crunchy. But if you like it chewier, replace the maple with honey. the flaxseed or wheat germ is essential for making it crunchy too.You can add spices like cinnamon if you like in the sugar mixture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1/page/2#post-1241768 Sun, 04 May 2014 21:06:25 +0000 Sara L. 1241768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great ideas here! &nbsp;I eat Raisin Bran most mornings. &nbsp;Some mornings I'll make a bagel sandwich with a scrambled egg and slice of lunchmeat (usually ham). &nbsp;I also like yogurt, fruit and granola. &nbsp;Like Diana I usually make my own granola. &nbsp;Oh, and oatmeal, I really like oatmeal. &nbsp;On the weekends when I have more time, I make steel cut oats, but during the week I just make the instant packets.</p> <p>Mo - I make toast with the center cut out for a light dinner. &nbsp;I call it Eggs in a Basket and it's one of my kids' favorite dinners. &nbsp;I use cookie cutters to cut out the centers in different shapes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1/page/2#post-1241464 Sun, 04 May 2014 15:31:52 +0000 Inge 1241464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, I'm holding thumbs that you've found some new breakfast ideas here that will work with the nausea.</p> <p>Diana, I would love it if you could post&nbsp;your granola recipe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1/page/2#post-1239949 Fri, 02 May 2014 16:18:02 +0000 Freckles 1239949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trying to figure out the foods that can be consumed early morning&nbsp;while pregnant is tough! Sorry I can't help as I was a big dairy person. &nbsp;I think generally foods that are bland tend to go down easier with a more substantial snack mid morn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1/page/2#post-1239456 Fri, 02 May 2014 02:59:10 +0000 JAileen 1239456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually have homemade granola with fresh strawberries and milk. Obviously the milk doesn't work. My other favorite breakfast is soft boiled eggs over torn up sour dough toast. I like the yolks runny, and the toast very darkly toasted. No butter, no salt, only pepper.</p> <p>Hope you feel better soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1/page/2#post-1238528 Thu, 01 May 2014 03:49:45 +0000 Kiwichik 1238528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a creature of habit so unless I'm going out for breakfast I always have wholemeal toast with :<br /> Avocado and tomato or<br /> Sliced banana or<br /> Boiled eggs mashed with a little bit of mayo and whole grain mustard<br /> And a cup of tea </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1/page/2#post-1238517 Thu, 01 May 2014 03:30:04 +0000 Desmo April 1238517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I have no time and can plan ahead I'll make baked egg muffins up ahead of time. Another good one is apple slices dipped in peanut butter. Remember, this doesn't have to be breakfast foods. Try sliced turkey rolled up in a tortilla which can be topped off in a million ways--I like goat cheese and spinach or pico de gallo.&nbsp; </p> <p>I absolutely need protein in the morning or I won't be able to function later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1/page/2#post-1238441 Thu, 01 May 2014 02:07:23 +0000 Karie 1238441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coffee first, cream only. Next up - organic cereal with almond milk, and a smoothie made in the Nutrabullet: spinach or kale, 1/2 banana, fruit, flax or chia seeds, water. The smoothie is extremely filling and keeps my belly happy until lunch time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1/page/2#post-1238438 Thu, 01 May 2014 02:00:30 +0000 Aida 1238438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow lots of great breakfast ideas here! On the weekends I eat a bigger breakfast which ranges all over the place, but often includes hard fried eggs. For weekdays, I make a green smoothie because I have trouble getting enough fruit otherwise. I make mine with: 1 banana, 2 handfuls of various frozen-in-season fruits I sliced up before (today was grapes and peaches!), 1 handful of frozen blueberries (we pick and freeze these in season), 1/3 cup nonfat greek yogurt, 2/3 cup extra pulpy orange juice, and 2 big handfuls of fresh baby spinach. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1/page/2#post-1238419 Thu, 01 May 2014 01:41:59 +0000 Anonymous 1238419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I was expecting breakfast was a tough go. But a cup of black tea and bagel worked well. I had to eat my dairy and fruit much later in the day. So bagel at 6am and yogurt and berries about 9:30 or 10. (I also couldn't eat meat for several months but that's another post)</p> <p>Hope you feel better soon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1/page/2#post-1238387 Thu, 01 May 2014 01:14:28 +0000 Krista 1238387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think my all time favorite breakfast is toast with peanut butter and honey. I've also been known to put peanut butter and honey in my oatmeal. One of my co-workers produces/farms organic honey and I prefer it over commercial honey because it doesn't seem as sweet. I also use natural peanut butter. Something about the mix of these items is very satisfying to me and is quite easy on my stomach.</p> <p>Or, I do what Suz mentioned and eat leftovers for breakfast! Especially on days when I know I'm going to be busy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1/page/2#post-1238345 Thu, 01 May 2014 00:31:12 +0000 Carla 1238345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a raisin bran muffin recipe that I like. I make it in a loaf pan and slice it into 12 slices and freeze half. I'll eat one for breakfast, and another later as a snack. I also like half an English muffin or a half bagel with peanut butter and jam. And coffee with milk!</p> <p>On weekends, I pull out the stops with pancakes or french toast, and bacon. </p> <p>When I travel and eat out, I almost always have a poached egg!</p> <p>FWIW I spread my food across the day, really having 6 mini meals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1/page/2#post-1238308 Thu, 01 May 2014 00:11:49 +0000 columbine(erin) 1238308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lately I've been using a pancake mix (found a recipe on pinterest for making your own mixes) and add some squash and carrot puree&nbsp;(previously cooked, pureed, and frozen in small ziplocks that can thaw quickly in the sink) and some cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and chocolate chips. My boys are pretty fond of this breakfast. It's a weird combo I suppose but it's very similar to my grandma's pumpkin chocolate chip cake so tastes good.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1/page/2#post-1238076 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 20:55:31 +0000 Anonymous 1238076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am really boring. Multigrain Cheerios and I add slivered almonds plus either blueberries, strawberries, or cranberries. No milk. I like my cereal dry. But I usually have hot coffee or tea with breakfast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1/page/2#post-1238062 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 20:43:47 +0000 Emily 1238062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like&nbsp;PB or Cream Cheese&nbsp;&amp; Jam on a whole wheat english muffin. &nbsp;Yum. &nbsp;Also, more props for almond milk - I drink unsweetened and find the slightly nutty flavour preferable to cow's milk. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1#post-1238058 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 20:39:02 +0000 Classically Casual 1238058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm an almond milk convert. Maybe your body would accept it as a dairy substitute? It has more calcium than dairy milk too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1#post-1238046 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 20:20:52 +0000 Louise 1238046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooo you have have such lovely healthy sounding breakfasts. My usual breakfast is raspberry jam on toast. My nod to healthy is that the bread is wholemeal seeded bread and only small slices x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1#post-1238042 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 20:16:59 +0000 catgirl 1238042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh and dairy bugs you the coconut yogurt is delicious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1#post-1238039 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 20:12:55 +0000 catgirl 1238039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smoothies: vanilla yogurt, banana, peanut butter, cocoa powder and canned unsweetened cherries is like dessert! Or spinach and apples. Or blueberries although they can be goopy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1#post-1238032 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 20:00:35 +0000 Aquamarine 1238032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like steel cut oats with a handful of walnuts and a banana. This keeps me full until 2, seriously. You could stir in any nut butter, instead, for the protein. I never add sugar, because the banana is sweet enough for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1#post-1238017 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 19:40:56 +0000 suzyq 1238017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1/4 cup&nbsp;total of sliverd almonds, pepitas and sunflower seeds. &nbsp;I put them in one of those little hand chopper things. &nbsp;I then top with a little bit of dried fruit and vanilla coconut milk. &nbsp;High protein, lowish calories and enough carbs to carry me through. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1#post-1237999 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 19:17:35 +0000 Mo 1237999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Egg fried in the middle of whole wheat&nbsp;toast, peanut butter on the toast center. &nbsp;Every morning&nbsp;for a decade at least now. Lately I've been adding 1/2 oz&nbsp;of sharp cheddar cheese and a slice of ham on top of the egg in toast. &nbsp;Coffee with milk first.&nbsp;<br />Ever since my ER trip with racing heart palpitations, I'm wary of blood sugar dips and won't risk a carb only breakfast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1#post-1237984 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 19:08:47 +0000 Anonymous 1237984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I often do oatmeal like AviaMariah with cottage cheese and lots of cinnamon but no sweetener. I do the one minute cooked, so it is fast. You might let a piece of bread soak up a beaten egg in the refrigerator over night and make a quick piece of French toast. I put unsweetened apple sauce on mine and lots of cinnamon. At our last Diabetic Support group meeting it was reported that eating about 10 peanuts at breakfast helped one from getting really hungry for 8-12 hours. A friend who tried it says it really helps.<br /> Pregnant, I think I ate crackers with some peanut butter and drank hot tea. Be careful of herbal tea though. Some ingredients are not good for pregnant women. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breakfast-1#post-1237958 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 18:47:11 +0000 citygirldc 1237958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Egg white and turkey bacon&nbsp;on a sandwich thin. that is my go to meal.

If not, I make shirred or scrambled eggs, usually with cheese, mushrooms, onions. I also like eggs baked with potatoes, spaghetti sauce and mozzarella--a bit weird I guess! Sometimes oatmeal with fruit, but eggs keep me fuller for longer.
