Morning Breakfast

What to eat in the morning can be a blank for some.  For me, it's an adventure with food.  It's what foods can I combine to make a meal?  Well, this morning was no different.  I walked into the kitchen, open the refrigerator and retrieved the greens, kohlrabi, turnips and buckwheat pancake mix.  The following steps were easy.......

I diced the kohlrabi and the turnips, spread them on a greased baking sheet, sprinkled himalayan salt and a turkish seasoning on top and roasted them in the oven for 15 minutes.

While my roasted tubers were cooking, I made vegetable pancakes.  I used buckwheat pancake mix, substituting almond milk for cow's milk and flaxseed flour for eggs.  I added wheat germ and hempseed for more texture and nutrition.

I added chopped broccoli to the pancake mixture.   All the preparation took about 45 minutes.  And I spent about 30 minutes visualizing my combinations.    I made enough pancake batter for several meals.

With added arugula, sliced avocados, carrots, sesame seeds and roasted turnips, my pancake had a lot of company on the plate.  To complete my breakfast, I added a cranberry, banana, pineapple, coconut milk smoothie which I had made the day before.  I usually make enough smoothie for several meals.  I only drink 4 oz at a time.    I think I hit all the food groups and the colors.  Oh I forgot, I added hot vanilla tea to keep me warm.  It is 38 degrees outside.

Enjoy!!
