[QUOTE="latvianchick, post: 1201512, member: 97703"] Ok, I too am having problems with breakfast and am keen to omit bread - I have that for lunch as a salad and ham or cheese or fish sandwich. BUT. I have a very low boredom threshold - toast for breakfast, bread for lunch, porridge every day - that is SOOOO boring, and I want something savoury, with flavour (is that too much to ask?) fresh and with some crunch, not pap! AND quick to prepare. I have seen recipes for breakfast casseroles but who the heck has the time or patience to cook something for an hour or more? I have brittle diabetes - two slices of toast with marmite, Bovril or peanut butter will send me rocketing to the late 20s even if I do happen to start with a decent number! But, I need carbs, though I have no idea how to count them. There seems to be so many recipes for breakfast which are sweet - granola, muesli, yoghurt with fruit, pancakes with fruit .... the list is endless! Even in DUK online books - I am totally shocked, disgusted and surprised that a diabetes related website seems to be advocate sweet flavoured foods for breakfast, which the majority of the recipes are. I mean, breakfast bars! Laden with dried fruit and sugar, and I do not even like the taste of sweet! I have a very small appetite and lots of preparation and cooking seems a lot of effort and time for one person every single morning. [/QUOTE]
