Oatmeal Pancakes

   For about six months now, I have been grain free. Today, I tried some flourless oatmeal pancakes. I decided if I am to introduce any grains back into my diet, I would do it slowly, and gradually and not in large amounts.

   The recipe was simple, which is what attracted me to this recipe. It had common ingredients and was easy to prepare. I added fresh blueberries to the mix.  I have added a link below to the recipe that I had found. They were very good. The site says one serving is one pancake. I think two pancakes is much more reasonable as a serving. Two pancakes is about 250 calories. Nutritional information per pancake is available at the site.

Adding Veggies to Breakfast

Most of us do not think of having vegetables for breakfast, except for maybe a flavor ingredient in an omelet. But you can add vegetables to your morning meal as more than a flavor ingredient.

Shredded savoy cabbage lightly sauteed in garlic and herb butter with black pepper provides a low glycemic treat that has hints of citric taste. It is a fresh and lively taste.

Add broccoli florets, celery, and onion along with chopped chicken sausage to scrambled eggs to give you a crust free quiche, especially with shredded three, four or five cheese blends.

Microwaved sweet potato, cubedm then lightly sauteed with apple pieces and cooked crumbled sausage makes a super treat in the morning. Spinkle it with cinnamon just before it comes out of the pan.

Of course, there are many vegetable juices you can choose from as well.
