Hello Breakfast Club,

Sorry that I am posting so late but, I will not be attending breakfast this Saturday. I am working from 11:00 pm Friday night until 8:00 am Saturday morning and I have to be back in about 6 hours for my next shift. Hopefully I will see all of you next Saturday.

Good Morning Breakfast Club,
How is everyone? I wanted to check and see what we are thinking about breakfast this Saturday. I have several suggestions and hopefully they will not distract us from our forum of open and honest communication, with that in mind:

(1) Do we want to make breakfast our self? If we like this idea, we could fix a more traditional meal or we could have a raw food meal. For a traditional meal:

Southwest Breakfast Quesadilla

6 large eggs
1 4 oz. can of green chile's
1 green onion diced
1 Tablespoon butter
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon cumin
Salt and Pepper to taste
4 oz. Pepper Jack Cheese
2 large flour tortillas
Salsa
Sour Cream

Saute green onion and green chile's in butter in a large omelet pan. Beat eggs with milk, cumin, salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over onion and green chili, scramble slightly. In an electric skillet at 325 degrees melt a little butter and layer 1 flour tortilla with 1/2 cheese, cooked scrambled eggs remaining cheese and top with 2nd flour tortilla. Cook and flip once until both sides are golden brown and cheese is melted. Slice into four quarters and top with salsa and a dollop of sour cream

For a raw food meal:


Spanish Scramble

1/4 cup cilantro
1/2 cup tomato, diced
2 Tablespoons scallions chopped
1 batch Love the Chicks Pate*
1/2 cup spinach leaves
pinch black pepper

*Love the Chicks Pate

1 cup almonds, dry
1/2 cup sunflower seeds, dry
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon tumeric
1/2 cup filtered water

I am open to any menu ideas that anyone else has.

(2) Do we want to go somewhere and have breakfast such as The Blue Iris, The Waffle House, The Mocha House, etc???

(3)Does the idea of breakfast seem to much and would we prefer to just meet and have a coffe or tea?

(4) or is this a busy weekend and we have other plans? Please reply and voice your opinion and preferences. Thank You


P.S.
I have found several raw food recipes that seem tasty but, they are lunch or dinner recipes. Would anyone be opposed to the idea of a raw food lunch or dinner for breakfast?

Hello Everyone,

I apologize for not posting sooner, I tried to post last night but I fell asleep. ( I'm sure you all find that hard to believe) Anyway what I was hoping to do was post some ideas and get some feedback from the group. Since I believe and I have been overheard saying on a few occasions that it is not the event that matters, it is the people that matter, I thought I would suggest something different:

(1) In an effort to take the emphasis off of preparing the breakfast, we could meet as usual and do something different yet healthful such as work on a raw food dish. This dish would not be eaten by the group that day but, we would be preparing something for us to take home but we could work on it as a group. An example would be preparing the cauliflower 'mashed potatoes'. Everyone could bring some cauliflower, I would bring my food processor and we could prepare a healthy dish and talk and we would have something nutritious to take home. If anyone likes this idea, I am open to suggestions, I just used the cauliflower as an example, it could be anything

(2) We could meet for coffee or tea and talk and just skip the breakfast. Also, being at a new location might spark some new life into us and generate some honest conversation

(3) We could meet somewhere for breakfast, remove the preparation time and fellowship more

(4) We could have our regular breakfast. Here are two menu ideas:

Belgian Waffles

3 large eggs1
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup melted butter
1 tbs vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tbs baking powder
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt

In a large mixing bowl, beat whole eggs until thick. Add milk, melted butter, and the vanilla ... continue beating mixture for 2 minutes. Combine the dry ingredients, sift into egg mixture and beat well for 2 more minutes. If necessary, add more milk ... batter should be about the consistency of pancake batter.Brush melted butter over the ridges of a hot Belgian style waffle iron. Ladle the batter over the hot iron and bake according to iron manufacturer's instructions (usually about 2 minutes). When done, ridges on waffle will be deep golden brown and crispy.Top with your favorite fresh berries or sliced fruit (strawberries, peaches, poached pears, apples with cinnamon, etc) and whipped cream. Just before serving, sprinkle waffle with powdered sugar. Makes 6-8 waffles depending on the size of your waffle iron.

Southwest Breakfast Quesadilla

6 large eggs
1 4 oz. can of green chile's
1 green onion diced
1 Tablespoon butter
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon cumin
Salt and Pepper to taste
4 oz. Pepper Jack Cheese
2 large flour tortillas
Salsa
Sour Cream

Saute green onion and green chile's in butter in a large omelet pan. Beat eggs with milk, cumin, salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over onion and green chili, scramble slightly. In an electric skillet at 325 degrees melt a little butter and layer 1 flour tortilla with 1/2 cheese, cooked scrambled eggs remaining cheese and top with 2nd flour tortilla. Cook and flip once until both sides are golden brown and cheese is melted. Slice into four quarters and top with salsa and a dollop of sour cream

(5) Also, if you have plans or feel that you would like to skip this week, that is a valid option. I welcome any feedback from all of the group on what your personal preference is
