Breakfast Food

 This is Candice. In her hands is a steak and cheese egg casserole. I’ll get to that in a moment. First, let’s talk about Candice. She came to my breakfast-themed Pouch Party about a week ago and she’s the kind of person I love to meet at my cooking demos. When I called on her to be my “kitchen …

 I am so happy! Besides the usual reasons, I am happy because I have FINALLY discovered a way that I can eat sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes and I have a turbulent post-op history. Indulge me a moment of recollection. For the first year following surgery, sweet potatoes made me violently ill — as did all foods that were orange …

 The other day someone on the Pouch Party Facebook page requested a creamed chipped beef recipe. I should first say I don’t find much wrong with creamed chipped beef in the first place.Yes, it can be high in fat and a little bit carby but it’s certainly not the worst choice one can make and if you have it …

 Word to the wise, peeps. Take a look at what’s going on in the veggie bin of your fridge. Sometimes you bought something knowing you’d cook it and love it only to find it months later, rotten, watery and smelly. But look on the bright side. At least you helped your kid get a jump on their science project, …

 I’m sort of under the weather this week, so rather than try to sneeze my way through a bunch of longer recipes, I thought I’d give myself a break and catch up on the gazillion and two products I’ve been meaning to tell folks about. Next up…Fiber One English muffins! Now, up until now I’d done Thomases 100-cal English …

 I just want to clear up one thing first. I have no idea if there is really such a thing as Mexican Egg Casserole. That’s just the best name I could come up with for what this is. It is not a quiche. Not even a crustless one. Quiche implies a lightness this thing does not possess. No…this boy …

 Oh McDonald’s. Your food is so appealing to the eye…but yet so scary when you find out the facts about it! Have you ever read Fast Food Nation? If you absolutely love McDonald’s…don’t read that book. It will freak you out and you’ll never want to eat there again. (Now I’ve gone and made you curious, haven’t I?) At …

Ok, so we’ve tackled oatmeal and we’ve talked about pasta. We still have several more starchy carbs to get through this week. Stay tuned through the end of this week to hear my thoughts on (and a few good recipes pertaining to) bread and rice. Today, however, let’s return to breakfast for a moment and talk about cereal. Cereal is one …

 I came across this product in the breakfast aisle of my local supermarket and thought I’d check it out. The packaging looks promising enough. It’s called Oat Fit and the packaging is particularly good, in my humble opinion. Here’s what I could tell just by taking a glance: It’s 100 calories per serving It comes in Cinnamon Roll and …

Raise your hand if this has ever happened to you. You decide to be nice and make something yummy for someone you love. It’s not for you, it’s for them. And because you love them, you put some actual effort into making it good — you measure out your ingredients, you mix it all up and prepare it carefully…you even …
