Healthy Breakfast Ideas

Finding something healthy and different to eat for breakfast can sometimes be a hard. In our house we do not have boxed cold cereal, so we are always looking for other great breakfast ideas.

Here's the links to the recipes I have currently posted on this blog that make a great breakfast.

Fish Batter

I LOVE THIS PICTURE!

This meal was so easy and we all loved it! It tasted great, had a wonderful texture, and was easy to whip together and cook.

It was exactly like the batter in a fish and chip restaurant, but only fraction of the cost. For our meal we used one package of frozen fillets ($6), homemade fries (5 lbs potatoes $5), and a small amount of a 2L ginger-ale bottle ($1 on Sale). Total Cost of Entire FAMILY MEAL - $12.

Batter
2 cups flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups ginger-ale
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

2 lb package of frozen fish fillets, partially thawed (we used Basa because it was the cheapest)

Heat up deep fryer to 320F. Remove the wire basket.

With a whisk, mix all the batter ingredients together in a bowl.

Using tongs, dip the partially thawed fish into the batter bowl, then slowly place into the heated deep fryer. The fish will sink to the bottom, then slowly rise back to the surface. Allow it to cook until the batter is brown around the edges. Carefully turn over the fillet. Cook until the entire fish is a beautiful golden brown colour. (approx 10 minutes).

Carefully remove from the deep fryer, and serve.


Strawberry Green Tomato Jam

I loved the close up picture the most, but this one shows the full meal together.

Strawberry Green Tomato Jam

This is a great recipe for using your green tomatoes. All you need is to add some pectin, sugar and strawberry jello, and you now have your own homemade strawberry jam (with NO STRAWBERRIES). I was a little hesitant, but this was amazing. It looks good, tastes good, and fairly inexpensive.

I think that raspberry jello would also work, and might look better (tomato seeds). But my husband loves strawberry, so that what we made.

6 cups of green tomatoes, cut into small chunks
1 box pectin
4 cups sugar
2 boxes of strawberry jello (3 oz each) OR 1 cup of Strawberry Jello powder (I buy in bulk!)

Throughout the entire process, stir continually to keep the tomatoes from burning to the bottom. Cook the tomatoes in a large pot for a 5-10 minutes. Add pectin and sugar. Bring to a boil, turn down the temperature keeping it boiling, for 10 minutes. Add jello, boil for 1 minute. (OPTIONAL: I scooped out some of the larger chunks of tomato at this point, and used my blender to chop them up a bit)

Now it is ready to put into your clean jars, seal with a lid, and let sit on the counter till they pop on there own.

Happy eating!
