    Breakfast Recipes

    Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

    ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

    ––––––––

    Breakfast in my opinion is very important and I have proven it for myself. If I have a low carbohydrate, low saturated fat and low sugar breakfast my glucose does so very much better and I have less chance of experiencing elevated glucose readings and have consistent great glucose readings.

    You probably have been frustrated when you go online to look for diabetic information whether it is recipes or anything else. The websites out there take you in circles to get you to sign up and try to force you to have to look at the ads on their sites. I don't know about you but I just want a little information and week by week I am learning what I need to know to improve my health as a type II diabetic.

    A little general information needs to be put into the picture at this point. There are some general concepts that we keep in mind with all of our recipes if we are diabetic. The latest information that I have seen pretty much indicates that we need to limit our carbohydrate intake as well as our sugar or sweet intake. Carbohydrates convert into a higher glucose level and that is what is damaging our body. Literally, like sandpapering the walls of our arteries setting us up for other major health risks such as heart disease and Alzheimer's.

    I am not going to take the time here but I am very leery about many of the alternative sweeteners and so I have been gradually cutting back on the sweet taste in everything I consume, and my goal is to get away from the sweet addiction. When I do use a sweetener I use Stevia which is in my opinion the best option unless we find out that they are adding horrible chemicals to the Stevia plant base. Watch out for many of the sugars that are hidden on the labels of the products we buy. Look for the ose Such as glucose, maltose, lactose etc.

    I told my doctor that they should take each type II diabetic patient for some exercise a couple times every week and monitor their glucose. In a month I bet it will come down 10 percent or better. Mine did, and when I got slack on the exercise it went back up. It's true, as much as I hate to admit it. I hate exercising. Don't you!

    I have seen 100's of breakfast recipes and I am amazed that they are recommending them as they have way too much sugar, glucose and carbohydrates. I have seen where they take out the sugar and increase the fat. Be wise and study the labels.

    Another thing you will notice is that I am not afraid to use a little butter. I have concluded by my own extensive research and visiting a plant that produces margarine that I will take my chances with a little butter. I will do better to put more effort into reading the labels and finding all the hidden sugar and maltose and fructose etc. Did you know about the fact that we need some of those fats, yes ok, not too much butter but let's be wise.

    One of my favorite spices is Ceylon cinnamon (the best cinnamon is Ceylon cinnamon) and halleluiah it has a lowing effect on our glucose. Bring on the Ceylon cinnamon, (No white sugar and Ceylon cinnamon). Look for ways to use it in your dishes. They also sell capsules in the health food stores.

    The best egg dish

    Ingredients:

    6 eggs

    3 thick slices of red vine ripened tomatoes

    1 large avocado

    1/8 tsp. Sea salt

    1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper or to taste

    6 fresh bay leaves pinched into dime pieces

    20 slices of sliced pepperoni.

    1 cup Greek yogurt

    Mix eggs, spices and pepperoni in a mixing bowl. Spray a large pan with a cooking spray and pour in about 1 ounce of mixture at a time. Make sure some pepperoni gets included. Cook until it starts to get firm and then flip over and cook until done. Place on dish with a large scoop of yogurt.

    This will provide lots of protein to keep your glucose stable and a small amount of carbohydrates and negligible sugar. Add cayenne pepper to keep your circulation in peak. (Study the benefits of cayenne).

    Turkey apple sausage patties

    Ingredients:

    1/2 cup shredded peeled apple.

    1/4 cup Walnuts or Almonds.

    1 tsp. snipping’s of fresh sage or

    1/2 tsp. dried sage crushed.

    1/4 tsp. black pepper.

    1/8 tsp. Sea salt

    1/8  tsp. Ceylon cinnamon

    Dash of ground nutmeg

    8  oz. uncooked breast turkey meat.

    Non- stick cooking spray.

    Combine ingredients in bowl and mix properly

    Make into 1/2 inch thick patties.

    Broil in pan 5 inches away from heat making sure they don't burn. Should take about 10-15 minutes but watch closely. Test patty with cooking thermometer to make sure inside temperature has reached 165 degrees because you cannot go by the look of the patty.

    Each patty will have about 120 calories and most of all about only 4 carbohydrates and very little fat.

    Serve hot with egg whites and a small bowl of fresh fruit. No added sugar.

    Easy breakfast quiche

    Servings: 6

    Ingredients:

    1/2 lb.  Low fat Cheddar Cheese

    7  slice Low carb. Bread

    2 cups Skim Milk

    6  eggs

    1/2 tsp.  Mustard

    1/8 tsp. Cayenne pepper

    1 small can of Mushrooms

    1/2 tsp. Chives

    1/2 cup red bell pepper diced

    I like to add some meat but it's up to you.

    Directions:

    Mix first three ingredients in a 9x13 pan. In another bowl mix remaining ingredients and pour over first three ingredients. Refrigerate at least 3 hours for the bread to absorb the egg and milk mixture. Bake covered at 325 degrees for 30 minutes and uncovered for 30 minutes. Sprinkle a little chive over the top. Serve with fresh fruit like blueberries.

    Sausage Mixture

    Ingredients:

    3/4 lb. ground pork breakfast sausage

    1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)

    1 can (4 oz.) Green Giant® mushroom pieces and stems, drained

    1/2 teaspoon Sea salt

    3 tablespoons chopped fresh sage

    1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 oz.)

    1/2 cup Original Bisquick® mix

    1/2 cup milk

    2 eggs

    Heat oven to 375°F.

    Spray 12 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray. Then 10-inch skillet, cook sausage and onion over medium-high heat 5 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until sausage is no longer pink; drain. Cool 5 minutes; stir in mushrooms, Sea salt, sage and cheese.

    In a medium bowl, stir baking mixture ingredients with whisk or fork until blended. Spoon in 1 level tablespoon of baking mixture into each muffin cup. Now top with about 1/4 cup sausage mixture. If using oysters, it is recommended that you bake the stuffing in a pan so as to ensure the oysters will be cooked through.

    Bake in 350 degree oven for 45 minutes to an hour. You want the stuffing to have a nice brown crust on top. Bake about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, and tops of muffins are golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. With a thin knife, loosen sides of pies from pan; remove from pan and place top sides up on cooling rack. Cool 10 minutes longer, and serve.

    3 cups unsweetened sliced strawberries

    1/2 teaspoon Sea salt

    2 cups milk

    2 tablespoons butter, melted

    1 teaspoon finely shredded lime peel

    2 tablespoons lime juice

    2 eggs

    2/3 cup whipping cream

    1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened

    1 tablespoon finely shredded lime peel

    1. In medium bowl, toss strawberries and 1 oz. Stevia; let stand at room temperature at least 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in separate medium bowl, mix flour, 1 tablespoon Stevia, the baking powder and Sea salt. Stir in milk, butter, 1 teaspoon lime peel, the lime juice and eggs.
