[.ca] The Good Breakfast Book: Making Breakfast Special (ISBN 0960613846)

From Amazon.com:
A good breakfast means different things in different countries: miso soup and rice in Japan; cooked beans in Egypt; bacon and eggs in the U.S.--or cold cereal with skim milk. Nikki and David Goldbeck explain why breakfast is truly important, then offer 135 ways, with emphasis on whole and minimally processed natural foods, to help you and your family enjoy a nutritionally solid morning meal. Some recipes may have limited appeal, such as pancakes made with whole wheat flour, honey, and cottage cheese, and whole wheat Danish pastry made with oil rather than butter. Most dishes, though, are creative and appealing: try the Toasted Quick Raisin-Cheese Calzone, Baked Eggs with Cheese, and Chocolate Pudding Cereal. The Good Breakfast Book is particularly helpful if you have to get school-aged children to eat in the morning, and portable choices that can be eaten on the run, such as Puffed Cereal Squares, Fig Miltons, and Peanut Butter Shortbread, will fit into anyone's schedule.

Wonderful Book!:
. Despite the title, this great new vegetarian cookbook by Nikki and David Goldbeck, co-authors of American Wholefoods Cuisine, is chock full of recipes for every meal of the day-especially if your toddler, who like me couldn't care less what's "appropriate" to eat at certain times. In addition to brunch and breakfast sections, there are chapters on juicing, lunchbox favorites, baked goods, and wheat, dairy and egg-free recipes and just plain fun food. There are plenty of vegan recipes, too. One addition that new vegetarian parents will find helpful is the Table of Milk Values comparing everything from almond and soy to cow's and goat's milk. Always wondered in today's day and age of ever-available produce exactly when strawberries or grapes are actually in season? They tell you. Does adding coconut to your granola actually increase the protein value-you bet! I hope you love this book as much as I do. If you get it, you must try the Chunky Apple Oatmeal Pancakes

Best whole wheat pancakes and more!:
My husband has never liked anything but white flour pancakes until I made the Basic Whole Wheat Pancakes. They are amazingly light even though they have wheat germ and no white flour at all--it was a very happy surprise. There's also a great table listing everything about all the different milks, nut milks, and the like to help you choose. I will be using this book a lot since I really want to learn to eat well in the mornings.
