A Bobo Breakfast

Usually during the weekend sometime, Dan or I will make some kind of big breakfast for the family. The menu is very similar to what most families eat, but we make everything from scratch.  We have pancakes or waffles, eggs, bacon or sausage, and sometimes hash browns.  It's definitely work, but well worth it and a good way for the family to help cook and sit down together for another meal. We use farm fresh, cage free eggs and no hormones or steroids added bacon or sausage.  Sometimes we will make an egg casserole which is an easy way to add veggies to our meal. If you haven't noticed by my addition of vegetables to each meal, I am a huge advocate of large amounts of veggies in our diet. They will fill you up more, without the addition of extra calories and they are just a good source of so many vitamins that your body needs. So here are the recipes we somewhat follow. Again, I am not good at measuring all the ingredients and sometimes I do not have everything a recipe calls for, but we will start with a basic recipe.

Waffles
2 large eggs
2 cups of whole wheat flour - I often substitute 1 C whole wheat flour and a combination of 1 C of oat bran, rice flour and oat flour
1 3/4 cup milk - I have used almond milk to keep away from dairy
1/4 cup olive oil - I usually use light flavored olive oil, but extra virgin is fine.  It just adds more olive oil flavor.
1 Tbsp organic brown sugar - usually we leave the sugar out all together because we add toppings to our waffles that make it sweet
1/4 tsp salt

Directions:
Heat waffle iron.
Beat eggs in a large bowl, then add the remaining ingredients.
Depending on the size of your waffle  maker....pour about 1/2 cup mix into waffle iron.
Cook until golden brown.

Toppings:
I like to take some frozen berries and heat up in microwave with just a little organic sugar or stevia to sweeten. Then I cut it up into small pieces with a fork and knife and serve over waffles.
We also like pure maple syrup, natural peanut butter and jelly.
The rule in my house....only one topping. It's full of sugar in any of the choices except peanut butter.

Scambled Eggs - Dan's way
Crack the eggs into a greased skillet. I like using coconut oil
Then break yolks and all in the pan and mix up in the pan. You could also beat eggs in a bowl before adding to the pan, but NEVER add milk.
Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.  We may also add cayenne pepper or curry seasoning.

Our trick to extend this breakfast into the busy weekday mornings, is to make extra. We usually cook a few waffles and pancakes just until light brown. We let them cool and then put them into an airtight ziplock bag and stick into the freezer. During the week we can pull them out of the freezer and pop them into the toaster. It's a perfect warm breakfast that is cheaper and healthier than a box of frozen ones from the store.
