[Diabetes-talk] Breakfasts...

Hey Gang:

When my husband and I were first married, I insisted on buyingh my own 
skimmed milk.  It was my husband who converted himself, because he didn't 
want to continue spending seven bucks a week on milk and, because of the 
diabetes, wasn't going to ask me to budge.  So, he budged my way.  I didn't 
even ask him to.

I do a variety of things for breakfast.  one morning, I might have a fairly 
large bowl of oatmeal--the real McCoy.  I never use milk or sweetener.  I 
sweeten it with raisins or craisins, whichever I happen to have onhand.  I 
actually add a little salt and margarine to mine as I cook it so that it 
doesn't clump as well.  I guess I like that mildly salty taste.  I don't 
sweeten my coffee either.  I have nice hot black coffee with every 
breakfast, no matter what it is.  One morning I might have a sandwich made 
with a homemade biscuit with one fried egg and a thin slice of cheese 
slapped between the halves.  Saturday mornings, it's homemade hotcakes for 
the family.  I just margarineize mine.  I also add cinnamon in the pancake 
batter for flavor.  Not cinnamon/sugar, just plain cinnamon.  On Sunday 
morning, I make a huge egg breakfast for the family which includes mixed 
veggies, celery, onions, peppers, mushrooms, and whatever else is in the 
frig but the kitchen sink.  I mix it with real cheese.  For breakfast, I 
have one slice of this with hot black coffee, and maybe 4OZ Juice.  Most 
times, however, I don't bother with the juice.  During the week, it's either 
my oatmeal/raisins, or two boiled eggs/one piece of toast.  and, of course, 
coffee--(The blood of life)!

Happy breakfasting!

Bern
