Goodbye Binges and Un-Boring Breakfast Recipes!

Madison and I are getting super strict tomorrow.  We are fighting some serious candida in our household so we will be ditching most fruit (torture) and even some veggies for the next week or two to help speed the healing process.  I'm hoping that finally following the food plan myself I'll lose some weight and feel better.  No more late night:  Mommy's exhausted, guilt-ridden, kids are in bed so they won't know cupcake binges!  I'll keep you posted on our progress. 

On another note, breakfast is getting super boring around our house lately, its typically eggs and turkey bacon or sausage. ZZZZZzzzzzzz

And although I will be taking a shot at a new almond flour flatbread recipe tomorrow until those results are in I shall post some non-boring, easy breakfast recipes that we will be adding to our rotation this week.  Oh and did I mention they are of course Gluten, Cow Dairy, GMO Grain, Soy FREE?  Yep, that's how we roll  =)

Apple Walnut Yogurt Parfait

  

• 1 apple (chopped)
• Handful of walnuts (or any nut you like)**Nuts can contain mold, try to choose whole nuts instead of sliced or chopped and chop them yourself and eat them right away.  You can also soak nuts for easier digestion. More on soaking here
• 1 cup plain yogurt  (we use goat yogurt)
• Cinnamon
  
  

Chop up the apples and nuts. Layer them with the yogurt as seen on picture, then top with cinnamon. Recipe from http://www.thecandidadiet.com/

You can also add an almond flour crust of almond flour, grapeseed oil and cinnamon pressed into a small dish and frozen overnight.  Recipe from livingwithouttype1.blogspot.com

Coconut Amaranth (The non-oatmeal oatmeal)

• 6 tbsps Coconut Milk or Almond Milk
• 1/2 cup amaranth (can sub for quinoa flakes if you prefer)
• 1 apple  (pear is good too!)
• Cinnamon
• Stevia 
• 1 Cup water

Mix the water and amaranth in a saucepan, then heat to boiling. Turn heat to low, and allow to simmer for 20-25 min or until most of the water is be absorbed.

Mix in a little Stevia with the amaranth, together with some sliced apple (you can puree it too if you like it better that way). Pour the coconut or almond milk on top, then sprinkle with cinnamon. Recipe from: http://www.thecandidadiet.com/

Vegetable Omelet or Breakfast Cupcakes

• 2-3 organic eggs (serves 1 person)
• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tbsp chopped green pepper
• Handful of fresh spinach

Heat a skillet with olive oil, add onions and greens pepper, add spinach a few minutes later, stir fry until veggies are tender. Stir in the slightly beaten eggs until eggs are done. Serve immediately with sea salt.

To make breakfast cupcakes beat eggs and mix in all vegetable ingredients and cheese if desired, pour mixture into a muffin pan (lightly oiled with EV Olive Oil) and bake for 10-15 at 325 degrees (temp/time varies depending on your oven)
