I recently received an email from Loma Linda University's AHS-2 Health Study. After many years going over data and publishing findings in scientific journals, they sent out an update to participants. If anyone would like to read it, follow this Dropbox Link.

I did my own bean dip for breakfast this morning. These are canned kidney beans, chopped red pepper, olives and cilantro baked in the toaster oven for two cycles. I flavoured it with 2 mild sauce packets from Taco Bell and topped with American cheese for the 2nd oven cycle, then salsa afterward. I still have a gourmet attitude to some degree in that I think American cheese is not real cheese, but I was just using what I had on hand. That's the point of my food posts, make use of what you have and make your meals fun.

No eggs in this morning's pan scramble. I've got small sliced potatoes along with chopped green peppers, tomatoes and veggie bacon. I also added some corn and finished with more portobello mushroom spaghetti sauce.

My mother made a great casserole when I was young. She used macaroni, corn, hamburger and canned tomatoes. So I'm taking some inspiration and some liberty with the idea. This is rotini, which I don't remember from the 70's, with corn, sliced veggie salami, green olives sliced and Classico's Portobello Mushroom sauce. I could have added some Cheez Whiz but I was too eager to dive into this dish.

I saw this idea at a Calgary Stampede Pancake Breakfast when I was about 19. I haven't done it myself in a long time but it is fun. Of course I'm using veggie bacon. So you fry the 'meat' on one side, flip it and pour on your pancake batter. When the pancake is ready to flip the meat is done.

I also put in a pic of the brand of pancake flour I've enjoyed all my life. Coyote brand is whole grain, so its much more flavourful and nutritious than any of the mixes you get from the big food companies. A dozen white flour based pancakes and I'm still hungry. Two to four of these and I'm full.

One is topped with maple spread and the other with lemon infused honey.

It's pina colada pancakes today. Some canned pineapple and coconut are added to the mix. I use Coyote brand pancake flour as its whole grain and really fills me up. I burned the first one, no pic. Two were topped with a maple spread and the third with cranberry syrup. Then an orange and a handful of trail mix to finish.
