In reply to Ember. Your breakfast sounds like something I would like for lunch, Ember. Or for a chilly afternoon cup of something to warm up with. I think nori before noon would be a stretch for me. :) God bless your week...xxoo

No breakfast – I was scared I might win some canned bread!!! (not really) 🙂

For my breakfast today I had miso soup – a teaspoon of barley miso in a fairly big mug (half a pint capacity maybe), with a scallion chopped into it and a spoonful of dried nori seaweed sprinkle (finely chopped before drying), then boiling water tipped over it all to fill up the mug. The chopped scallion half-cooks in the hot water so it tastes sweet and delicious like new peas. Fab.

In reply to Susan A. Reed. The Daniel study is amazing isn't it Susan? And I like the sound of cheddar on this brown bread. I look forward to seeing you next time, and will now give Michael a hug from you. xxoo

Hi Julie!
Thanks for mentioning that Susan Branch has a blog. I so enjoy her books etc.

That brown bread sounds so good! I think I would like mine with a slice of cheddar!

We are over 2/3 done with the Daniel Study and we enjoy it so so much. We have taken it slow as especially the last past is so so deep!

I still want us to do lunch. We will have to start trying to make a date!

God’s blessings! I must not see you at church because I mostly go to the first service.

Hugs to your hubby from me!
love, Susan

In reply to Christy.

I don’t think I’ve ever said “what’s for breakfast?” in my life before this post, Christy! So maybe it’s just a Larry thing. 🙂 Like Tauni, I’m eating breakfast because I think I should, not because I’m hungry at that time. I could easily wait until 11:30 and begin my day with a Cobb salad at our favorite place here… 😉

I had to laugh when I read Larrys comment. He neglected to tell you that the first words out of his mouth EVERY SINGLE MORNING (!) is…..”what’s for breakfast”? I kind of choked when I read the title of your blog thinking “this has to be a Sooter thing”. After 22 years of marriage, he still asks…”what’s for breakfast” hoping not to hear….”whatever you fix”. I can’t help it. Breakfast is not in my vocabulary.

In reply to Tauni. Tauni you are so organized and inspiring! I think I need to hire you to come and cook for me! Your oatmeal sounds delicious. Xxoo

Tauni ~ Southern California ~ I never used to eat breakfast then I heard that breakfast was the most important meal of the day. It is the “fuel” ~ gasoline if you will ~ that gets your motor going first thing in the morning (breaking your nighttime fast). I heard Dr. Oz say one time to make one meal per day the same meal, make it healthy and that way you will simplify your life a little bit and at least have one meal you know will provide good nutrition. I absolutely love breakfast now but due to the morning rush I chose to make this meal my main stay for the week. I found myself buying oatmeal from my local Starbucks (due to the morning rush didn’t have time to make anything) and really liked the added “extras” provided = a nut medley, a dried fruit medley and just enough brown sugar to make it slightly sweet. I can buy everything in bulk at my local health food market, so I do and it is even healthier = steel-cut oats (Starbucks used instant), a little oat bran (just cuz I love that), some almonds, pecans and walnuts, dried cranberries and raisins and maybe a few dried tart cherries (expensive though), I add cinnamon (cuz it tastes really good and helps the body’s metabolism burn more calories) and flax meal/seeds (need the Omegas) and a little brown sugar, or agave, or honey. On Sunday night I line up my five reusable containers and load ’em up! I have a healthy, hearty breakfast all week and it keeps me going until lunch. I actually have a hard time often times to remember to eat. I take thyroid medication and have to wait about an hour after taking my medication. So I keep this at my office and making my breakfast is part of my arrival routine. I do mix it up a little on the weekends, mostly when we meet the kids at Ruby’s 🙂 ! XXOO

In reply to Linda.

Oh my Linda! I can’t imagine what a French croissant straight from Paris would taste like. Moanworthy, I’ll bet. Yes, I wasn’t too keen on the label on this brown bread either. Ugh. But it’s good. Let me know if you try it – you’re in the right part of the country at least. I think I’ll see you tomorrow for the oatmeal toast and maple sausage, K? xxoo

I looovvvee breakfast …especially since retirement…I can savor it everyday not just weekends.. instead of popping a dry granola bar in my mouth or micro waved instant oatmeal in a styro cup in between meetings & phone calls ! Today it was croissants & honey …from Paris France! Extravagant I know & I only have 6 left …..originally had 40 (!) …they come as frozen dough in dry ice & arrived as a gift from a dear friend. She & her husband were in the restaurant business & know how to eat like royalty! When these r gone I doubt I will taste them again as I looked up the cost …whoa! Could buy several cases of B & M bread for what they cost…
Have seen B & M bread on the shelves but never thot to try it…will now though (think the initials turned me off.. lol !). Let me know what u think about Mrs Palfrey @ the Claremont …when u get a working copy…too bad about that …hope u think it was worth the wait ! Tomorrow poached eggs on oatmeal toast & maple sausage 🙂
