Ezekiel Bread

 Vince loves Ezekiel Bread. I do not. In the mornings, I like to eat breakfast around 9 or 10. Vince wants to eat something when he first gets up. I try to eat everything I'm going to eat during the day within an 8 hour period so if I eat breakfast at 9, then we have dinner between 2 and 3, I'm good. 

He's happy to have this bread for his first breakfast. He will slice it, toast it, and sunflower butter (which I make from unsalted roasted sunflower seeds). He tops that with guacamole, which he makes fresh every morning, then adds chia seeds and flax seed meal. I think that's all pretty health.

I make three loaves in the cast iron loaf pans. I think they're 8.5" x 4.5" and I make them when he's almost to the end of his last loaf. He will put two in the freezer while he uses the first one. I think each loaf lasts about week so I don't have to make it very often.

When I fix breakfast around 9, one might argue that it isn't always so healthy! Yesterday was biscuits, eggs and ham. I love these layered biscuits. I couldn't find my usual biscuit cutter and had to use the smaller cutter. They aren't so pretty but they tasted good.

Vince still will not agree to getting chickens - probably never will, but I'm thankful for friends in the neighborhood who have chickens and sell us eggs. Love those bright yolks!

Today's breakfast is leftover biscuits, eggs, grits and bacon. It's 9 a.m. . . guess I should get myself upstairs and cook.

When I got up this morning, our weather station showed 7 degrees outside. The dogs were very quick doing what they had to do and getting back inside. They've been sitting on the heated throw ever since they came back inside. I don't think they're going to be happy about having to get up!

Today is Oscar's birthday. He's 4 years old!
