It wasn’t that challenging to figure out what to eat for lunch and dinner, but I had a terrible time figuring out what to have for breakfast, which had always been wheat-based. Once I discovered this recipe, I found that my midmorning blood sugar crash was a thing of the past. This meal keeps my body fueled for four to six hours.
I use apples from our trees for this recipe until I’ve used them all up, which is usually around January. (‘Granny Smith’ is a great storage apple.) After the apples are gone, I switch to using chopped butternut squash, or whatever vegetables are abundant in the garden at the time. And I often add kale for extra nutrition.
