hi there!

the easiest breakfast i make around here is eggnog. i suppose you could mix

it up the night before if you didn't have time in the morning, but it really

only takes a few minutes. in spill proof cups it could be car/kid friendly.

here is how i make it-

raw milk (if possible) 1 cup per adult, 1/2 cup per kid

cinnamon to taste (my daughter likes lots)

sweetener (i use a few drops of stevia per serving, or maple syrup)

raw eggs - atleast one egg per cup of milk, sometimes more.

everyone but my daughter also likes to add fresh banana. i think the banana

really sweetens it up and makes it richer.

that's just how i usually make it. you can really play around w/ it to suit

your family.

smoothies may be another option. i've also been thinking about quiche. it

could be made ahead and frozen. but i guess its not " grab and go " since it would

need to be heated. the only other things i can think of for truly grab and go

would be coming up w/ recipes for making your own breakfast bars or cookies.

maybe w/ oatmeal or something?

good luck. i am curious to see what others suggest also.

JERKY! We loves our jerky ... and roasted nuts and dried fruit.

(I posted my jerky recipe in the Files section).

From a convenience bar perspective

Standard Process

Phil's

and

Ultimate Meal

are all vastly superior in quality.

So in a worst case senario if you can't find something

that works that you make then these are much better than

Balance. ( I'm not 100% certain on the gluten/wheat content)

From a homemade perspective, hamburger jerky is about as easy as it

gets.

oh, man, sorry to be lazy, but what can you tell me about hamburger jerky?

[Guest guest]

Ground meat (any kind) (leaner is a little easier to work with but

really no matter.)

Add whatever seasoning/marinade/etc... you like

Mix

Place between two sheets wax or parchment paper

Flatten by hand pressure

Roll very evenly thin with rolling pin

take top sheet of paper off

leaving bottom sheet in place

place inside of dehydrator

about 1/2 way through you can remove the last sheet of paper

voila! Hamburger Jerky.

Ps- they make inexpensive " guns " that you pack with the meat and

will produce evenly thin strips that allow to skip the rolling pin

part but its easy either way. I've never used one of the " guns " .

I make smoothies for us every morning. My partner has some pretty intense

digestive issues, so ours are geared more towards that end, but here is my

recipe- it serves two:

2 or 3 raw DHA enhanced egg yolks

2 cups biodynamic whole milk yogurt (which I could afford raw!)

5-8 ounces semi thawed frozen peaches or other fruit

1-2 spoonfuls raw honey

3 scoops digestive enzyme powder

2 scoops protein powder (goatein)

3-4 tablespoons melted coconut oil

Blend all but coconut oil until smooth, add coconut oil slowly while blender is

running. Serve immediately.

I'd say start to finish, this takes me like five minutes.

I mixed some with kefiili and I'll be dehydrating it

this week, I'll let you know how THAT works. Mixing meat

and kefir/kefilli/yogurt/buttermilk adds a GREAT

flavor to meat jerky, I'm guessing it will do the

same for hamburger jerky.

The nice thing about hamburger jerky is that there is

no gristle or fat obvious, and both of those bother

my family (not me, I like food that fights back). Also you

don't need a meat slicer. However ground meat is

more problematic from a bacterial standpoint, and most

of the folks that do hamburger jerky use lots of nitrates.

I think the kefir should be helpful in that regard.

Sorry, Beverly, but you have to tell me everything!

Do you use a blender or a fork or ? to make the eggnog?

Thanks -Allan

[Guest guest]

Hi Allan,

We use egg nog from time to time also

we combine

1c milk

1-3eggs

1/2-1tsp vanilla

1/3-1TBS Maple Syrup or Molasses or Raw Honey

Optional

1TBS Gelatin

1TBS Cocoa or Carob powder

You can use an immersion blender (easiest)

or food processor or blender

if you don't have access to any of these

a shaker may suffice.

hello allan. no need to apologize, i am exactly the same way!

i happen to use a blender. if you weren't going to add the banana you

probably could just use a fork. i put everything in but the eggs and

blend it together. then i add the eggs and just blend for a few

seconds. the reason i do that is because of something i read on dr

mercola's site. he says the molecular structure(or something to that

effect) of the egg is fragile and that the eggs shouldn't be messed

w/ too much. ???? i don't know how much it really matters, but that's

just what i do )

enjoy,

beverly

Thanks everyone for the breakfast suggestions. I hadn't thought of making

cookies instead of muffins, but I'm going to try that, and some of those

bars too. As soon as I get some farm-fresh eggs, I will try an eggnog too!

Thanks again!
