Ooooo...I will have to try the mulit-grain version. So glad someone else has tried them.

I made a batch of mini ham and cheese quinoa cups and eat those for breakfast in the mornings. I just prepared 3/4 cups of dry quinoa following the directions on the box, then mixed it with 4 extra large eggs, 8 ounces of cubed ham, and 1.5 cups of shredded cheese. Then I placed the mixture in a mini muffin pan, and baked until golden brown along the edges. Let cool for 5 minutes, then remove from the pan. My batch made 36 mini cups, and I froze them 3 to a ziplock. Each cup is only 45 calories, and I just take a ziplock out every morning, nuke for about 30 seconds, and then I have a hot breakfast every morning!

My family and I have to eat grain free and some us dairy free as well as gluten free.. here are our standard breakfasts .eggs with bacon or sausage, fruit or fried potatoes.. muffins, pancakes, or coffee cake made with almond flour, coconut flour or flax seed meal.. grain free granola with toasted coconut, nuts and dried fruit with almond or coconut milk

I find breakfast to be my "easiest" meal; I eat some sort of egg-white omelette almost every day. I'm also a big fan of smoothies.

Breakfasts are tough as the corporate wheat industry has us conditioned to think cereal or toast.

Fish is a big breakfast in many countries but kippered herring is hard to find. Smoked salmon is a great source of protein and omega3s. I buy farmed salmon in bulk and smoke it at home to cut down on the cost. It sure beats a tin of sardines which takes a little getting used to but it will fill you up with quality protein. Two hard cooked eggs and a piece of fruit can keep me satisfied until lunch too. If you want a grain substitute try buckwheat. Cooked whole buckwheat or kashi seeds with crushed almond and a drizzle of honey beats oatmeal and is gluten free. If you want to be more adventurous, take a drained can of chick peas, a handful of walnut pieces and add it to a food processor. Blend together and add milk or milk substitute until it get the constituency of natural peanut butter. Then add pure maple syrup to taste. There you are, Maple Walnut Hummus. Good protein and vegan omega3s. I think I'll make some for breakfast tomorrow.

I'll do Chex, McCann's Irish Oats (read a while back that imported oats are not processed on wheat filled equipment and have never had a problem), eggs with sausage or bacon, or fruit filled crepes as well as the occasional Saturday morning pancakes.

When I make crepes or pancakes, the smallest batch is too much for just me, but is perfect to put the rest in the freezer for future breakfasts. Just be sure to heat them up on a reduced power setting in the microwave so you don't dry them out and make them into Frisbees

bump I am headed your way!

WOW ! What an awesome recipe!!! I've got to try that without the ham- I'll add some spinach :-D I've even got the mini baking pan and all the ingredients in the fridge/cupboard right now. Thanks!!
:happy:

Yummy!!! Great ideas. Can you come cook for me please?

When I want a heavy breakfast, I have eggs (scrambled when I need it quick, hard-boiled when I have some time) and a salad and or fruit. Eggs are amazingly low calorie. 70 cals each. So even if scrambled with a little oil/butter, we're talking 200 calories, tops, for the eggs. And salad and/or fruit are both low cal.

When I want a carby breakfast, I have rice cereal (hot, cream of rice) with a banana blended in for sweetener, walnuts, and some kind of fat...butter if I'm eating dairy, coconut butter if I'm not. This is higher calorie, but hey, I don't mind.

Yeah...nothing special. But they work for me.
