Here is a healthy breakfast recipe (German Sweet Potato Pancake). I have altered from my childhood in WI for my family. They love it! It is not french toast, but it is very easy and the salmon version is great for a special breakfast.

German Sweet Potato Pancakes

• 3 cups peeled, grated organic sweet potatoes
• 3 Organic eggs
• 2 Tablespoons sprouted grain or spelt flour
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ c. chopped organic parsley
• ¼ tsp. organic pepper
• ¼ tsp. baking powder
• ¼- ½ c chopped organic onions
• 2 cloves crushed organic garlic

Blot the potatoes on a clean dishtowel or paper towel to remove excess moisture. Preheat buttered or oiled griddle on medium heat. Cook onions until softened, add garlic toward the end of this process. Beat eggs, flour, baking powder, parsley, pepper and salt together. Add onion/garlic mixture and grated potatoes and stir until well blended. Fry 1/3-cup portions on a preheated, greased griddle (butter or olive, coconut, and rice bran oil) for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve with organic butter, organic applesauce, organic maple syrup, or fruit. Good for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Salmon Option:

Reduce parsley to 1 Tbsp. When softening onions add a sm. amount of natural sweetener (brown rice syrup) equal to l Tbsp brown sugar. Cook as directed above. Top pancakes with smoked salmon cut in thin strips. Mix 6 Tbsp. organic sour cream, 2 Tbsp chopped fresh organic dill, and a pinch of sea salt to top the pancakes. Fresh fruit is served on the side.

Hope this is helpful:)

I have been inspired by your info on foods and recipes. I have only been receiving your emails for 4 or 5 days now. Before that though I had been looking for good pomegranate recipes but I didn’t find one I liked or that I had all the stuff for. Tonight I finally came up with something just using what I had in the fridge! I call it chicken with apple pomegranate glaze.
6 chicken breast halves (fresh or frozen I used frozen)
4 TBSP butter or 2 TBSP butter, 2 TBSP olive oil
2 small apples or 1 medium
1/2 cup pomegranate arils (the seed pods)
1/4-1/2 tsp allspice or cinnamon
Cook chicken with all the butter until done. While it is cooking chop the apples into cubes w/peel. When chicken is cooked through remove it and put aside. Using the left over butter simmer the apples, arils, and allspice for 2-3 min adding more butter if desired. when the apples are soft place the glaze on the chicken. Enjoy!
I paired this with a romaine salad and a homemade vinegarette, but I don’t think that worked well. I think it would go better with steamed veggies or a salad with a sweeter dressing. I really liked the chicken though! I hope you like it.

I have been enjoying 3 soft boilded eggs with half cup old-fashioned oatmeal (measured dry) for breakfast. Awesome to feel satisfied and not stuffed (instead of stuffed but NOT satisfied). Recently, I have added raw arugula; I put it under the oats and then pour boiling water over. It cooks the oats and wilts the arugula and with eggs, pepper, and dried parsley is just great (and easy and relatively quick).

Thanks,

Hey Valeria,

The roasting process causes the fats in the nuts to go rancid, this causing more free-radical damage in your body. (Free radicals speeds up the aging process!)

Hi Isabel,
thanks for great video. I caught that peanut butter from roasted peanuts is not good. Why? I also have some questions about food, where can I ask you everything I need? Thanks

Audio output of video very low. Could only pick up every other word or so.

Video more effective if cutaway of the actual label showing the bad or good ingredients.

As the pros show different foods suggest you lay out in a row the product that you want to showcase. That way you don\’t have a bunch of product piled up on the front of the counter or stove. It also prompts you as you move through the layout.
