Breakfast

Kate brought amazing carrot cake balls to our tango class. She said it was easy to make: dates, walnuts, carrots, optional frosting. The recipe seemed a lot like this Minimalist Baker recipe, and a...

Elsa hosted a birthday brunch last week, cooking up several experiments for us, all delicious! Larry went back for 3 pieces of this yummy lemon blueberry coffee cake. The original recipe called for a...

Laurie made an out-of-this-world granola when we visited last week. It’s all nuts, plus coconut. (Larry exclaimed, “What, granola without oats?!”) This version is very keto, but of...

My brother Jeff turned me on to this, and it’s my new favorite thing! Delicious, high fiber, and lots of ways to mix it up. Oats are so good for you, as is wheat germ, berries, and nuts. This...

Our pantry still has lots of oatmeal and almond butter from pandemic stockups. Looking for recipes to use up some of these ingredients, I came across these healthy almond butter baked oatmeal cups....

In 2020, I bought an instant pot to get the Yogurt button, and made some batches following this blog post on soy yogurt. I also tried soaked almonds processed in my ninja blender; it was pretty good...

When we visited Chelsey and Josh last November, Chelsey made a delicious, super thick oatmeal. The secret? Almond milk and oats, almost equal amount! Then the other day, Jeff suggested adding wheat...

It’s blackberry and pear season! After enjoying our friend Judi’s “momba” smoothies so many times, we got a good Ninja blender to make our own. Dr. Gregor has some videos about...

Sightly adapted from a recipe in Vegan with a Vengeance mostly to add some greens and tomato, and a little more turmeric. Nice served with toast potatoes, guacamole and salsa. Ingredients 1 T high...

A wonderful chocolate oatmeal, or make it plain with maple and brown sugar. I found the chocolate version first, on Happy Healthy, and made up the plain version when I needed a change. Both are...

Happy Healthy and Oh She Glows both have recipes for chocolate chia pudding. One serving gives you all the omega 3’s you need in a day! Happy Healthy has her Overnight Chocolate Berry Breakfast...

Thanks to Wanda and Judi, who gave me their great recipes, which I merged and played with to get this! Makes about 28 4" pancakes - breakfast for about 5 people, or just store the unused dry mix...
