This is what I serve to my egg-allergic children and they love it. It is remarkably like scrambled eggs and very delicious. I often don’t have red pepper, so I leave that out. Several members of the family can’t have garlic, so I leave that out, too.

As I heard yesterday from a commenter, breakfast can be a tricky meal. How does one get enough protein when eating gluten-free and egg-free and also when trying to avoid the monetary expense of purchasing sausage and/or turkey bacon each day? I will share our breakfast choices, in the hope that it will be a [...]

A friend gave me a similar recipe last summer. Kids love this applesauce — what I love is that it is easy, raw and nutritious! You will need a Vita-Mix or other such heavy duty blender.
(choose organic ingredients)

about 4 apples, sweet variety such as Fuji
handful of raw almonds
handful of raisins

pinch nutmeg

Gluten-Free Cracked Grain Cereal Mix
The following directions will help you crack grains in a Vita-Mix. Other grain mills also crack grains — refer to your mill’s manual for directions on this application.
Since we like a Cream of Wheat consistency for our hot cereal, these directions achieve a finer texture of cracking. Adjust accordingly for the [...]

If you prefer a plain pancake, the carob is optional in this recipe. You may have to reduce the amount of water to account for fewer dry ingredients. For a more decadent pancake, use cocoa powder instead.

2-1/2 cups buckwheat flour
2-1/2 cups sorghum flour
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/3 cup carob powder
1/8 teaspoon stevia powder [...]

4 out 5 members of the family loved breakfast this morning! I’d say that is a success. The person who didn’t care for it reported a willingness to have it again, though.
After rinsing the buckwheat sprouts that I began two nights ago, I put some in each cereal bowl. I topped the sprouts with raisins, [...]
