the perfect waffle
We have been enjoying waffles at our house for the last couple of weeks. I started with the basic Bisquick recipe, then I pulled out some of my old cook books. I tried one from a reprint of the Original Fannie Farmer 1896 Cookbook. I found this one on the Culinary Institute of America’s site. It’s really easy and quite rich. These are not for you if you are trying to lose weight. Read the rest of this entry »

HYDE PARK, N.Y. – A day that begins with a crisp, golden waffle is destined to be good. The aroma alone has the power to perk up the sleepiest of mornings.
The Culinary Institute of America’s ultralight waffles, made from a few basic ingredients, are equally delicious hot off the iron or made ahead and frozen for a quick weekday breakfast. Just store them in the freezer in zippered plastic bags and pop them in the toaster whenever you like.
Waffles are no more difficult to make than any other griddlecake. Like pancakes, they benefit from minimal mixing because of the proteins in the flour. Read the rest of this entry »

Yom Kippur Fast
Yom Kippur is the only fast day decreed in the Bible. Abstaining from the pleasure of food is meant to improve one’s ability to focus on repentance. The Yom Kippur fast is a 25-hour fast that begins before sunset on the evening before Yom Kippur and ends after nightfall on the day of Yom Kippur.
Why fast on Yom Kippur?
Spiritual elevation is a pre-requisite for true repentance. One way to achieve spiritual elevation is to abstain from the physical. Five physical activities are forbidden on Yom Kippur:
- eating and drinking
- marital relations
- washing
- wearing leather shoes
- applying lotions
chicken jalfarezi
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. The month’s sunrise-to-sunset fasting officially begins on the first night that the new crescent moon is visible.
All through September we have looked at morning meals as breakfast. During Ramadan, the daily fast is broken with and evening meal called iftar. So if we are talking about breakfast, let’s have look at breaking of the fast not in the morning. This is a popular Pakistani dish. This is a quick and tasty way to use leftover roast chicken. The sauce can also be used for any cooked poultry, lamb, or beef. Read the rest of this entry »

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. The month’s sunrise-to-sunset fasting officially begins on the first night that the new crescent moon is visible.
While it is technically true that after is the meal that breaks the fast, suhor is the morning meal. This omelet is juicy with this cheese – everyone that tried it, loved it, and they never expected it to turn out this good. Make sure pan is well greased, or else sides will stick and you won’t be able to roll it. Read the rest of this entry »
As I was thinking about breakfast, I began to think about breaking the fast. Often the fast that is used to explain the word breakfast is the daily fast from our evening meal to our morning meal. That fast may be 12 hours or more everyday. We sleep through most of it, but still it is a fast.
As a child, growing up Catholic and going to Catholic school, I learned that the fast in question was actually the one Catholics observed from midnight, no food or drink (even water) until we received the Eucharist at Mass. That tradition changed twice in my lifetime. First the midnight fast was reduced to three hours for food and one hour for drink, then a simple one hour fast. So the religious connection for breakfast pretty much went away for Catholics.
There are still other fasts observed by the three major western religions, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity, that would lend some meaning to the term.
In 2009, Islam observed Ramadan from August 21 to September 19. So Ramadan is just over so let’s look at that fast and its breaking. Read the rest of this entry »
pumpkin oatmeal
For breakfast with a fall flavor that really sticks to your ribs, try this delicious pumpkin oatmeal. This is a nice way to sneak some fiber into your diet and also have a healthy breakfast. It uses only as much brown sugar as you add when you sit sown to it so you could just let the pumpkin sweetness dominate. I use milk instead of water so it’s creamier. This would be great with some chopped walnuts or pecans also, if you don’t mind the added fat grams. Try steel cut oats for more texture or multigrain hot cereal for a nuttier taste.

hot cereal
A little bored with your morning routine? Take a stroll down the hot cereal aisle. It’s no longer a choice between the white guy in the blue hat on Quaker Oatmeal and the black guy in the white hat on Nabisco Cream of Wheat.
Manufacturers are tripping over each other to make hot cereal seem more nutritious, convenient, even fun. That makes it tougher to figure out which are the healthiest. But it’s worth the trouble.
Hot cereal can be a terrific source of whole grains and fiber with little or no fat, salt, or sugar if you choose the right ones. Read the rest of this entry »
