Great Endo Diet Friendly Breakfast Recipe: Baked Oatmeal
1 1/2 c. old-fashioned rolled oats (GF if highly sensitive) 1 1/2 c. unsweetened almond milk 1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce 1/2 - 3/4 c. of dried fruit (my favorite combo is dried apples, raisins and dates) 1/4 - 1/3 c. of nuts (pecans &/or walnuts with above mix) 1 tsp. cinnamon 2 Tbsp. organic agave nectar (optional) 1/2 tsp. of organic vanilla extract (optional) 1/4 tsp. salt
Really any fruit and nut combo will work but I have tried dried and fresh blueberries (second favorite combo with a little lemon juice), dried cranberries, dried cherries, dried apricots, etc. Just make sure no additional sugar has been added to your dried fruit - if it is a tart fruit, you may want to include plenty of dates.
Mix everything together and pour into a greased 8 x 8 pan. I use olive oil to coat the bottom & sides of the pan since my GI wants me to have a Tbsp of it at each meal but you could use a spray oil. Bake for 45 minutes in 350 degree oven or until lightly browned on top. This makes 6 good size bars and you could easily double the recipe & cook in 9 x 13 pan. My husband even loves it. I keep the bars refrigerated and they are easy to take with you.

Hi Girls! So as encouraged by all of you, I have decided to embark on the endo diet in its ENTIRETY (I find that I struggle less with cutting out my loves cold turkey than weaning myself off of them, believe it or not). I only have one dilemma, and was hoping some of you might be able to help me out with some tried and true BREAKFAST recipes! I'm typically not a picky person at all, but I am one hell of a peach when it comes to breakfast foods. It's disgraceful. Here's the catch: -I hate oatmeal (the texture kills me) -I rarely eat eggs (and can only eat them fried on top of a piece of bread... again, it's something about the texture) -My mom fed me smoothies every morning for 5 years in elementary school and I haven't touched them since.. but would maybe be willing to try a SUPER yummy recipe -I love fruits but can't eat them alone (I need a piece of bread or some yogurt with them) because the acid tears up my sensitive stomach Pre-endo-diet, my breakfasts were healthy and consisted of a mini wheat bagel with cream cheese or toast with jam, plain organic yogurt with honey, and fresh fruit. That, or a bowl of cereal and fresh fruit. And my vitamins. I'm going to have to COMPLETELY re-vamp my entire breakfast routine! So ladies.... WHAT do I eat for breakfast???

I think I saw gluten free breakfast cereals in the store yesterday (not a fancy store--it was a safeway). I could have been hallucinating--12 hr day in the bike shop in 100 degree heat can do that do you, and I was exhausted and had sweat pouring out from under my bike helmet--but I think I did. Plus, there are rice-based breakfast cereals (rice chex) that I think are ok.

I struggle with breakfast too, I really do. I'm going to try mini fruit pancakes made with wheat/gluten free flour. Here's a recipe I have, it's actually for blinis but I'm going to adapt to pancake type size.
4 oz/110 g buckwheat flour 1 oz/25g soya flour 2 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp potassium baking powder 2 tblsp raisins 8 floz diluted soya milk 2 tblsp soya yoghurt or liquidised silken tofu (whatever that might be!!) A little oil for cooking
I'm using the white flour mix that's gluten free instead of the above. The one I've got is Dove's Farm organic and it's soya free.
Top with sugar free jam and soya yoghurt (also says grate over a little good dark chocolate)
Mix together the dry ingredients, slowly add the diluted soya milk to make a thick pourable batter. Stir in the yoghurt/tofu and beat well. Add more liquid if necessary to achieve the right consistency. Then, cook as you would thick pancakes or well, blinis :-)
Hope to make them this weekend!

You could also use rice cakes and top with something nice and palatable!

All good except the soy.... can you please use almond or rice milk? and coconut yogurt would work as a topping, right?

Don't see why not - that's just the recipe as per the book. I reckon you could use any kind of liquid to be honest, just that something milky would make it a bit richer and nicer. I don't plan on putting any toppings at all, just munching them! Mmmmm grated lemon rind would give a nice twang too.

Lol. I'm going to make them this weekend. I also made some sort of flatbread the other day, almost like a pitta with just spelt flour, a little yoghurt and warm water. Knead it, roll into circles and dry fry in a pan until they get toasty. Quite nice!

Recipe for gluten free fried chicken AND chicken stock
1 organic chicken organic white corn chips rice flour 3 organic eggs beaten plus a little water herbes de provence garlic powder salt and pepper
organic carrots and celery onion or two shallots few garlic cloves bay leaf
easier to chop apart chicken when partly frozen. bend back the legs from the chicken until the bone snaps. cut off legs. Cut into the 'keel' at the top between the breasts and remove breasts with bone in. leave wings attached to carcass. place carcass in small stockpot with chopped up carrots celery onion and garlic, and a bay leaf and a few peppercorns...
Take your corn chips and put them through the food processor with herbes de provence and garlic powder. until they are bread crumb sized! place in a bowl.
Place the rice flour in another bowl, and the egg wash in a third bowl.
Dry the chicken parts, dust with rice flour, then dredge in egg wash and corn chip crumbs mix. In a large frying pan fry them on medium heat until golden then place in oven at 350 for an hour.
In the meantime your chicken broth could simmer for a few hours, and don't forget to skim the scum and fat off the top. After a few hours you should just have a pot of stock, with no fat or scum. At the end you can add some chopped mushrooms or fresh herbs for nice flavor. I store the strained stock in glass jars with lids in the freezer. This stock is organic, and can be used for all your cooking projects!!! yum....

granola for sure; and when i'm nauseous, my go-to is, as rustmyrtle suggested, RICE CHEX! use that as mixer for some good anti-inflam berries and add your milk substitute of choice - YUM! only downfall - doesn't keep you full for very long, so be ready to follow up with some seeds/nuts, or whatev.
