Ingredients & Measurements
- traditional breakfast of eggs
- and bacon too time consum-
- ing to prepare, and we know
- fat-loaded foods should not
- be consumed at any meal.
- Fats cause the blood to be-
- come sticky, and as a result it
- circulates slowly through the
- brain.
- Instead of eggs and ba-
- con or other fatty foods, we
- need complex carbohydrates
- and protein.
- Protein for better brain
- function, and complex carbo-
- hydrates for a steady release
- of glucose into the blood-
- stream maintain stable blood-
- sugar levels. A high-sugar
- breakfast will cause a drop in
- the blood sugar, resulting in
- a tired feeling all morning.
- Children especially
- need a sound breakfast to help
- them think clearly and func-
- tion better all day in school.
- Soy milk and almond milk are
- good on cereals, and if you
- use fruit juice, no additional
- sweetener is needed. Whole-
- grain cereals are the best to
- provide the steady energy we
- need each morning.
- Whole Wheat Tortilla II
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 cups Unbleached white flour
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 2 Tbs. Oil
- 1 1/2 cups Cold water
- 1 1/2 Tbs. Baking powder (aluminum-free
- like Rumford’s)
Chef's Sourcing & Quality Tips:
- Produce & Aromatics: Always use fresh whole aromatics and seasonal herbs rather than dehydrated powders when possible.
- Cooking Oils: Utilize cold-pressed oils with appropriate smoke points such as extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil.
- Salt & Seasoning: Season from a modest height above the pan to ensure an even, uniform crystalline dispersion.
