[hlthe2b]

1. My specialty home-made yogurt w fresh-ground peanut butter, sliced banana, flaxseed & sugar-free peanut butter syrup

The bananas slices are frozen so I needed that hot coffee with it. (mornings remain very cool in Colorado)...

[debm55]

4. TY hithe2b, That sounds very good,

[Alliepoo]

7. Wondering how you make your yogurt?

Back in the Stone Age when I attended Ohio State a girl I met there would get culture from one of the labs and I made yogurt by mixing the culture with milk, letting it sit on the counter for a day or so then add strawberry preserves when it was done. I would have no idea how to attempt it today!

[hlthe2b]

10. I've made it for years--every way possible from heating pad in a cooler to now, Instant Pot

Here are some useful instructions depending on if your Instant Pot has a dedicated "yogurt" function, or as in some of the latest models, a "sous vide" function button. Just remember, unless you spring for the extra $$ for ULTRAPASTEURIZED milk, you will need to heat the milk up first or your cultures won't "take." In the past five years, making (on average) 1-2 gallons/week, I calculated I have saved (at a minimum) $1200/year and part of that was with a home milk (in wonderful glass bottles) delivery service that was pretty pricey so I don't use it so much anymore.

And if, like me, you want to make some Greek yogurt too (I usually strain half of my gallon batch to make some Greek), this is a great tool:

I had vanilla Belgian waffles with an over-easy egg on half and peanut butter and syrup on the other half. I also had coffee with Baileys first - at the house, so overall a totally wonderful breakfast.

[debm55]

37. TY lark! That sounds wonderful.Give hubs a kiss for us.

[Niagara]

38. Not a thing yet.

It's currently 12:45PM. I'm trying to hold out until 2pm before I break my fast. I was a very naughty girl during my long distance trip and I broke my I.F. on the daily.


Anyways, I rolled into Buffalo safe and sound yesterday at approximately 4:15pm.


Never fear, Niagara is here.

[debm55]

40. Welcome back girl. We missed you. I am sorry about the circumstances of your travels. Don't worry about the food you ate

I missed you.

[Niagara]

44. Thank you, Debbie. I missed you all too!

[Backseat Driver]

39. Coffee for breakfast, dairy and Sweet and Low laced - brunch - yesterday's veggie-loaded ham sandwich and more coffee

We're having breakfast for dinner - ham and eggs w/cinnamon raisin toast bread and a schoice of Bloody Mary or Screwdriver. Might snack on some bakery in the meantime before dinner - I think I mentioned that Monday/Tuesday was our weekend, so tonight's our TGIF.

Might activate a 15% plastic cash-back and order in two veggie-stuffed, bacon-laden, delicious corporate-made subs tomorrow...a warmer outdoors await some spring chores, or maybe cook something from the freezer afterwards...then we'll likely negotiate over bipartison cooking ideas and processing, LOL! He tends to drive a hard bargain--we will see.

[debm55]

41. Thank You Backseat Driver. It sounds wounderful. We have breakfast sometimes for dinner. ENJOY.

[Elessar Zappa]

45. Egg, potato, and bacon burrito.

Pretty great tasting but not good for my diet. I’m trying to lose weight and this won’t help lol.

[debm55]

47. Thank you Elessar Zappa. That sounds great. Have a great day.

[malthaussen]

48. Grocery store didn't have any bagels OR bread.

So I had a donut.

[kimbutgar]

51. Fried eggs, hash browns, piece of toast and sausage links

I’m a lucky woman my husband makes breakfast on the weekends and I don’t even know how to fry an egg anymore! I cook weekdays and does the weekends !

I am spoiled that way!!!!

[debm55]

56. Ty kimbutgar. you are very lucky and the breakfast sounds great.

[DBoon]

[yellowdogintexas]

53. scrambled eggs,toast & coffee nt

[debm55]

58. Thank you yellowdogintexas.

[dameatball]

54. I tried something different this morning. Rice chex with blueberries and banana milk.

i usually use almond milk. Not crazy about the banana milk but I like the concept. Maybe I need to get used to it.

[debm55]

55. Ty dameatball. Rice Chex is my favorite with sliced bananas.

[OldBaldy1701E]

59. Same thing every morning. We try to take over the world!

Oh, wait, that was another thing.

I have never been able to eat anything until at least 10:00 a.m. so I just drink coffee (decaf... thanks various health issues)... lots of it. I can sometimes get a granola bar down before the usual time. Or a Pop Tart, which is so weird that my screwy guts can handle those at any time.

[debm55]

60. Thank you OldBaldy1701E
