Serious Eats: Josie's Profile

I love reading Baking and Books. The posts have a friendly vibe to them, the recipes are great and I especially love how Ari often includes fascinating bits of culinary history in her posts.

What is your favorite (quick and easy) breakfast food?

Toasted English muffin, scrambled egg in the microwave, a little cheese.
Yogurt with granola and dried fruit.
Oatmeal. *wry smile* I keep frozen fruit and lots of spices on hand, so that helps.
A Carnation Instant Breakfast, peanut butter, banana, and milk smoothie.
Cottage cheese with a banana and toast.
Hard-boiled egg and toast.
Frozen waffles/pancakes with peanut butter and honey.
Cheese toast with a side of fruit.
Scrambled egg and cheese wraps (with or without breakfast meat - precooking breakfast meats help!)

I've been experimenting with breakfast egg muffins - sort of like breakfast casserole, but made in a muffin tin and frozen and reheated. I'm not quite happy with it yet, but I think I'm close!

What is your favorite (quick and easy) breakfast food?

I like peanut butter on a whole grain waffle with banana slices. I've also spread cream cheese on a wheat tortilla, topped with banana slices, cinammon, and little bit of sugar. Mixing different fruits in my cereal keeps me from getting too bored with it. :O)

What is your favorite (quick and easy) breakfast food?

smoothie with banana, strawberries or other fruit, milk or juice and a tablespoon of Ovaltine or malted milk powder
cottage cheese with pineapple
occasionally yogurt with flax seed meal; I'll try it with honey some time...
waffle with butter and a bit of cinnamon and sugar
The next time you make pancakes, freeze leftovers, and you have a quick way to prepare and eat them!
toast with: apple butter, peanut butter, cinnamon and sugar, jam, honey
with a banana on the side
and when I have to force myself to eat (no appetite because of medical conditions and meds)...I go with a nutritional supplement. Sometimes it's easier to drink than eat something, especially when you just feel you can't. Meal replacements are also convenient and portable. I like Carnation instant breakfast (all flavors) and Ensure (chocolate is my favorite, not a fan of vanilla, and strawberry is pretty good. Has anyone used the Butter Pecan before? If so, is it worth buying?

Question of the Day: Bought but Never Opened

A bottle of ginger powder since last Christmas for my grand dream of having a gingerbread making day with my nieces and nephews but getting the right molasses scares me off. I don't have unused stuffs. Things always get used up - I buy or have been given stuffs I like and watch expiry dates with clockwork precision. First task when moved in with bf - dumped all his expired junk food - canned macaroni and cheese, canned ravioli for eg...! It was a revolution.

Freshly Killed, Squirming Octopus Tentacles

emily20008: Oh. That's right. Did you ever see that PBS or Discovery Channel program on them? Some oceanographers made a complex maze of tubes and such and showed how smart the octopi were. I'm going to try to find that on YouTube now.

Geez... Octopi are really intelligent little guys! I'll have to think on it for a few days but that video might've just made an animal rights advocate out of me...
