Protien and Healthy Fats in the Morning and Cereal Grains at Night?
Yes! Save the cereal grains, granola, jam and toast for a sleep inducing late night snack.
Breakfast is the time to break the fast, and let your body know it's not going to be starved for the day.
The key is to watch your serving sizes, practice mindfulness while you eat, don't gobble and eat slowely...stop when you are 80% full
Hearty and delicious breakfast suggestions from around the globe:
•Eggs Benedict •veggie and cheese omelet •broiled fish and the slightly sweet Japanese omelet Tamagoyaki •Chinese dim sum dumplings of delectable seafood's •Vietnamese seafood or poultry Pho •Indian curry, dal or sag paneer •Mexican breakfast burrito with regular or soy chorizo • Quiche, Strata or Italian Fritata

A new study suggests our bodies are primed to eat high-fat meals upon waking, and that high-carbohydrate breakfasts (mmm, pancakes) set us up to be unable to process high-fat meals later in the day.....
Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Baylor College of Medicine kept two groups of mice. One group got a high-fat meal upon waking and a low-fat meal before bedtime; the other had the low-fat meal first and the high-fat meal for dinner. Both groups of mice consumed “identical” amounts of total calories and calories from fat. But the mice with high-fat breakfasts had “significantly lower body weights and body fat composition” than their counterparts who ate high-fat dinners, according to their study published this week in the International Journal of Obesity.
Those weren’t the only differences. The mice that began the day with more carbs developed insulin resistance, a condition that increases the risk for Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. They also wound up with more insulin, leptin and triglycerides circulating in their blood, which are also associated with diabetes and heart disease....more from Los Angeles Times

Perfect Hash Browned Potatoes
Begin with fresh potatoes, never frozen, preferably yukon gold. Shred with an old fashioned hand shredder, not a food processor, place in colander to remove liquid-pat dry with paper towel, add fresh cracked pepper and sea salt (fresh, minced herbs if desired), toss into hot pan ( just about to smoke) with a TB of olive oil, cook 4-5 minutes, turn and cook additional 5 minutes...
....do not disturb spuds in between turns. ..serve immediately...tiny splash of malt vinegar is heavenly!

Om Chef Enlightened Eggs Benedict
Yes! you can have little extravagance without killing yourself
Eliminating the Canadian Bacon, no butter on English muffins, no added butter to poached eggs, replacing extra large eggs with the dainty small egg,
adding salad and fruit as sides, and absolutely not scrimping on the Hollandaise, is an example of controlled, but delicious indulgence. The star of eggs Benedict is the Hollandaise. Don't scrimp on the star, and for gods sake don't substitute with fake ingredients...please ;)
Save the egg whites for penance breakfast scramble the following morning, or freeze in a ziplock for up to 4mos.
There is no reason to be intimidated by Hollandaise, it is a simple emulsion of egg yolks, butter (traditionally clarified), lemon juice or vinegar and a flavor agent such as herbs . It can be made over a campfire, all it requires is your complete attention......but only for a few minutes.....commit to that, and it will be great! This a an excellent meditation, and practice of mindfulness...become one with your art
This is a Master recipe that can be practiced and fine tuned very inexpensively, and becomes Bernaise by replacing wine vinegar for the lemon and the addition of Tarragon, or Zabaglione by replacing lemon juice with Marsala or Proseco and adding sugar.....or Lemon Curd by adding sugar and increasing the lemon, and many more
below is an eggceptionaly easy version of how to make a Hollandaise
Play it safe, skip the salmonela, and use
Safe Eggs, Pasturized eggs from Davidson's
Eggs may also be home pasturized, Danilo Alfaro's How To
