Breakfast with Food Allergies

I’ve been having discussions about food allergies and breakfast.  It’s very tough.  As I see it, there are 3 options.  1) Purchase allergen-free substitutes, like bread and pancake mixes (expensive) 2) Purchase pre-made substitutes at stores or over the internet (expensive) 3) Think out of the box and change the way you eat (challenging, but not expensive).

Let’s start with something most people CAN eat – rice.  Many cultures eat rice at every meal.  You can go as simple as cream of rice cereal, but let’s take it a little further and make Leftover Brown Rice Breakast.  It’s a lot like rice pudding, and it takes less than 5 minutes to put together.  You can use leftover rice, or frozen brown rice (my recent new fav).  You can add nuts and dried fruit as your diet/allergies allow.  If you pair it with some juice and some microwaveable turkey sausage, you’ve got a complete, hearty breakfast. 

In upcoming posts I’ll be sharing the outcome of conversations about breakfast.  I hope you’ll find them useful.  The recipes will be in our collection, and will have a meal that you can add directly to your meal plan.
