volunteered for the &quot;Breakfast for Learning Program&quot; at my older kiddies&#39; elementary school. &amp;nbsp; Through generous donations from the community, school and the Parent Advisory Committee (PAC), our children&#39;s school can offer a simple breakfast for those who come to school hungry. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The PAC helps purchase and provide juice, milk, yogurt, cereal bars, cinnamon buns and muffins. &amp;nbsp;Depending on the volunteer, someone can make pancakes or waffles for a hot breakfast! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

9. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since this was my first gig for the year, I simply set out the usual milk, fruit, juice and store bought bran muffins.  To test the waters, I also brought a batch of my sour cream whole wheat banana bread.  I made them into mini muffins, mini loaves and a big loaf.  I was OVERWHELMED by the response!  When I ran out of mini muffins, I cut up the last loaf and it was GONE IN SECONDS.  Wow.  </span></div>

13. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is another one of those recipes that I have been using for over 10 years.  Great for gift-giving and Christmas.  I think the secret is the moistness and fluffiness from the sour cream. </span></div>

I got rave reviews!!!  No one noticed that I used half whole wheat flour in the recipe.  </span></div>

84. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had a craving to <i>make </i>banana muffins.  Is that an odd notion? Even with my sudden food allergies, I still like to bake things I cannot eat.  It's the act of baking that makes me happy.  I pray that one day, my body will heal itself and I can enjoy the same foods as my family.  In the meantime, it hasn't stopped me from making their favourite classics, like banana muffins. </span><br />

Then is it my turn for breakfast! &amp;nbsp;Now that I am not eating eggs, I sometimes have lean turkey breakfast sausage patties to help start my day. &amp;nbsp;I make a batch and reheat them the next few days. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

166. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At first, I tried <a href="http://www.thegraciouspantry.com/clean-eating-turkey-breakfast-sausage/" target="_blank">Gracious Pantry's Clean Eating Turkey Breakfast Sausage</a>.  It was a very easy recipe to whip together.  However, the ground turkey's flavour was a little too strong/gamey for me and needed a few more herbs and spices to counter this.  Then I found Food.com's <a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/turkey-breakfast-sausage-patties-100408" target="_blank">Turkey Breakfast Sausage Patties</a> recipe that used more herbs and spices.  It was fun to use a wide range of herbs and spices from my inventory. </span><br />

173. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We don't eat spicy food, so I toned down the heat considerably.  I didn't expect the children to eat these turkey patties but they enjoyed them as well!  It is a very forgiving and flexible recipe.  If you choose to make them spicier or more bland, adjust the seasonings as desired.  I played around with this recipe several times and I'm happy with the amounts of these herbs and spices.  I don't use salt, so adjust to taste.  </span><br />
174. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
175. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The addition of ground flaxseed and water helped improve the lean and dry texture of the ground turkey.  It helped bind the meat together (like an egg) and also provided extra fibre and healthy fat.   </span><br />
176. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
177. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I mixed all the ingrediets into my KitchenAid stand mixer and for a minute or until well blended.  </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then I used an ice cream/cookie scoop to make large meatballs and patted them out to make 2-inch sized patties. With a digital scale, my ice cream scoop of meat weighed almost 1 1/4 oz.  When cooked, they turned out to be roughly 1 oz each.  Perfect portion control! </span></div>

249. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Steel cut oats are not rolled and they look like broken up bits of brown rice. They take much longer to cook than old-fashioned rolled oats but that is part of its beauty.  Since they are less processed, they take longer to digest and keep our blood sugar even.</span><br />

256. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to the package, it takes about 10-20 minutes to cook.  Our busy mornings do not afford this time, so I make a few days worth the night before using an easier method. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whenever I have time (in the afternoons or right before bed), I take 1 cup steel cup oats and 2.5 cups of water.  I like the 1:2.5 ratio.  I like my oatmeal with a little bit of a chew.  </span><br />

293. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was able to find unsweetened brown rice protein powder as an alternative because I have an egg and dairy intolerance.  I am hoping this food intolerance is just temporary!  </span><br />

297. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The combination of protein powder and oats gives me the energy needed to get the kids out the door and my day started.  I found that just 1/2 serving of protein powder (half the amount to make 1 protein shake) was enough to give the oatmeal the last power til lunch. Without protein or some sort, I was ravenous within 2 hours.  </span><br />

502. For the longest time, my kids did not like pancakes!  Until I found the <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/buttermilk-pancakes-ii/" target="_blank">perfect buttermilk pancake </a>recipe.  They loved the light and fluffy texture only real buttermilk gives.  I always thought that a reasonable buttermilk substitution was to add vinegar or lemon juice to milk.  However, there was actually huge difference in taste and texture.  The pancakes turned out softer, lighter, fluffier and very tender.  After all these years of baking, I have concluded that there is <b>no</b> substitute for <i><b>real</b></i> buttermilk!<br />
503. <br />

506. <br />
507. Now that I got the kiddies to <i>finally</i> eat pancakes, I wanted to make them with whole wheat flour.  So I used a combination of whole wheat flour and wheat germ to lighten the texture.  With this recipe, I made 35 pancakes, using 1/4 cup batter for each pancake.  Yes, it makes a lot but I freeze about half the batch on a parchment lined tray in a single layer and then it goes into a freezer bag.  I always have pancakes on hand for quick breakfasts.  30 seconds in the microwave to thaw and heat a few pancakes and I'm done.  </div>

513. Pancakes used to be so tedious to make in a frying pan.  I took a chance and ordered a reversible grill/griddle that spans over 2 heating elements on my stove.  I bought this <a href="http://www.nordicware.com/store/products/detail/twoburner-reversible-griddle/2163DC3C-7C89-102A-B382-0002B3267AD7" target="_blank">Nordicware brand</a> from my local kitchen specialty store about 5 years ago and I still use it on a regular basis.  It's so much fun to flip 8 pancakes at a time! <br />

547. <br />
548. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I tried to look for a bran muffin recipe that was: 1) simple and easy  2) didn't use white sugar or white flour and 3) healthy.  I came across the Eat Clean Diet website for <a href="http://www.eatcleandiet.com/the_kitchen_table/recipe/recipe.aspx?id=188" target="_blank">Blueberry Bran Muffins</a> and had to give it a try! </span><br />

553. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">They turned out beautiful!  Maybe it's just me, but I thought they were a little on the sweet side.  Hubby didn't complain that they were too sweet.  Nor did the kids.  Next time, </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I will try use 1/3 cup honey instead of 1/2 cup and see if anyone notices the difference.  </span><br />

597. Blueberry muffins are a classic staple in our household.  When blueberries are in season and <b>on sale</b>, I buy as much as I can and freeze them on cookie sheets so we can enjoy them year-round.  </div>

605. I have made many muffins and realized that I learned how to make muffins <i>way back</i> in my Grade 8 Home Economics class.  In just a few short years, my kiddies will be old enough to make this!  </div>
606. <div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
607. <br /></div>
608. <div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
609. Muffins are easy to make but I was in search of a recipe that was fluffy, fruity, lightly sweetened, moist and not dense.  My old stand-by recipe was pretty good but not as moist as I would have liked.   Then I decided to try the Blueberry Muffin recipe from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0936184744/elisecom" target="_blank">The New Best Recipe</a> cookbook as posted on <a href="http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/blueberry_muffins/" target="_blank">www.simplyrecipes.com</a>.  I needed to use up some plain yogurt.    </div>
610. <div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
611. <br /></div>
612. <div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
613. Boy, was I surprised how moist and fluffy they turned out!  Almost as fluffy as a cupcake, yet still a muffin.  Of course, I didn't follow the recipe exactly but close enough to get what I was looking for.  I never would have thought that plain yogurt is the trick! </div>

660. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 cup sugar</span> <i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;">(I used 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup white)</span></span></i><br />
661. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 large eggs</span><br />
662. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 1/2 cup plain yogurt</span><br />
663. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 teaspoon grated lemon peel <i><span style="color: #274e13;">(I used </span></i></span><i><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 tsp vanilla extract instead)</span></i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

668. <br />
669. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Adjust the oven rack to the middle-lower part of the oven.  Preheat oven to 375°F.</span><br />
670. <br />
671. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and set aside.</span><br />
672. <br />
673. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together,
674. beating until fluffy.  Add eggs one at a time, beating until
675. incorporated after each one.  Beat in the grated lemon peel<span style="color: #274e13;"> (or vanilla)</span><span style="color: #274e13;"></span>.</span><br />
676. <br />
677. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Beat in one half of the dry ingredients until just

679. remaining dry ingredients.  Beat in a second third of the yogurt.  Beat
680. in the remaining dry ingredients and then the remaining yogurt.  Again
681. be careful to beat until just incorporated.  Do not over beat.  Fold in
682. the berries.  If you are using frozen berries, defrost them first, drain
683. the excess liquid, and then coat them in a light dusting of flour.</span><br />
684. <br />
685. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Use standard 12-muffin muffin tins.  Coat each muffin cup
686. lightly with olive oil or grapeseed oil using a pastry brush, or with a
687. little butter.  Or use one of those convenient vegetable oil sprays.  
688. Distribute the muffin dough equally among the cups. <span style="color: #274e13;">Sprinkle tops with a little cinnamon sugar, if desired.  </span>Bake until muffins
689. are golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.  Test with a long toothpick
690. (we use a thin bamboo skewer) to make sure the centers of the muffins
691. are done.  Set on wire rack to cool for 5 minutes.  Remove muffins from
692. the tin and serve slightly warm.</span><br />

710. <br />
711. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When I had this free time in the mornings, did I relax?  Well... before I get to relax, I had to tackle a list of things to clean around the house.  Neglect around the house after three kids can get to a really disgusting state.  So I feverishly cleaned the house nonstop for 2 mornings straight. </span> <br />
712. <br />
713. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I got behind in documenting some recipes.  I had also meant to take pictures of our Easter dinner, but we got so hungry and devoured it before I even thought of getting out the camera!  I'll try again next Easter. </span><br />

718. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Last week, I cooked bacon </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">while I was cleaning the house</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">.  Rather, I <i>baked </i>bacon!  I stumbled across this technique last year from Food Network's Barefoot Contessa and had to try it.  Our family LOVES bacon but I must admit, I find it a tedious task of slaving over the stove and being splattered with bacon grease.  I worry about Baby getting splattered with hot bacon fat.  It's bad enough while she is screaming for my attention, but even worse if she is screaming in pain from the splattering grease.  </span><br />
719. <br />
720. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is the only way I will make bacon, as it is so EASY!  I wish I discovered this technique earlier.</span><br />
721. <br />
722. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I used a 500g or 1lb package of bacon and put it on a parchment-lined pan.  I bought a huge commercial sheet pan (16" x 22") at my local kitchen store and it worked perfectly for 1 package of bacon.  Before I bought my huge pan, I used 2 cookie sheets.  </span><br />

726. <br />
727. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The slices of bacon were placed side-by-side.  It's OK to have the edges touch as bacon shrinks while it cooks.  Bake at 400F for about 15-20</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> min.  </span><br />
728. <br />
729. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I usually turn on the oven and then put the pan of bacon in the oven before it hits 400F.  </span><br />

733. <br />
734. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After about 15 minutes, I check on the bacon.  The recipe doesn't say to flip them over but I do it anyways and check every 5 minutes until desired crispiness.  </span><br />

775. <br />
776. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm very lucky.  Hubby takes the older kids to school on his way to work, so I can clean up the morning's mess with the Baby, who is already 2 1/2 years old!  Then *I* can finally sit down to breakfast (with coffee, of course) and peruse the Internet while Baby finishes her milk while watching Dora.</span><br />
777. <br />
778. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The plight of almost every mother is that they take care of the children first and themselves (almost) last.  I am starting to realize that a happy mom really sets the mood in the household.  A grumpy and hungry mom is really not pretty.    </span><br />
779. <br />
780. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mommies need to start the day off right too. I make Spinach Egg Cups in advance and then heat them up in the microwave in the mornings.  They are like mini omelets or quiches baked in silicone/Silpat muffin cups.  I make a dozen at a time and I have 1-2 of these egg cups for breakfast each day.  Normally, I heat 2 egg cups and Baby eats over half of one.  With a glass of V8 juice and a cup of coffee, my day is off to a great start!  Easy. </span><br />

790. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After following the recipe a few times, I just grab several handfuls of different fillings, but the base is always:  about 1/4 cup onions, 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (any color), 4 eggs, 1 cup liquid egg whites, 1 box thawed, frozen spinach (squeezed dry), 1/2 cup chopped ham or any leftover meat that would be good in an omelet.   Also, I put in 1/2 cup of reduced-fat shredded cheese (mozzarella, 4-cheese, pizza blend) and 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese for extra flavour.  </span><br />
791. <br />
792. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have to share another "freezer" tip.  I freeze shredded cheese.  If I don't freeze it, after a few days, I see mold growing in the middle of the bag.  What a waste.  One day, I realized that if cheese is OK on frozen pizza, then I can freeze a bag and take out what I need!  With carpal tunnel syndrome, I really don't like to grate cheese so it is a nice convenience food.   </span><br />

809. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For a
810. normal muffin pan, I think you could put 2 paper liners in each cup.  </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Scoop the mixture into the muffin pan.  I use a small ice cream scooper, which is also good for cookie dough.</span><br />
