And I'm with you, I loooooove my bacon - it's the perfect crisp with my morning eggs so I don't even miss the toast! TRUST ME on the fruit, parmesan and crispy nuts, then add some bacon to make it *really* dreamy. :) Karen, husbands who love to cook are GREAT aren’t they?!

Susn/Kel: Per your experience w/ Stevia and cooking w/ it, I'm taking your suggestion, Kel and NOT adding it to my oatmeal dish. I have never cooked w/ it: why start now? What am I saying?? sigh. The truth is I don't cook a lot. My husband likes to cook: he cooks. I must send him this site. :-) I do however, "cook" my breakfast and lunch...he fixes dinner. And I was getting bored...Whenever I get bored I get MORE NT!! LIke I fix bacon...after recovering from [still am] low fat dogma, I can't tell you how happy lovely bacon makes me chuckle. Who could have guessed? And, I just started buying ghee from a woman in my NT monthly potluck group. Now that is something else. I had no idea it was so tasty. I had it in India years ago: I like this ghee better...if memory serves me right. I just put it on my veggies after cooking them briefly. Heavenly. Thank you for writing about what to eat for breakfast. I love waking up hungry and rummaging around for what I want to try next. Love you guys mucho!!! YOU ROCK!! Hugs....

I do something similar for a tasty snack now and then: apples or other fruit, crispy pecans, parmesan cheese. I loooove this. Kelly Susan, love your breakfast idea.

I use a very naturally sweet variety (Golden Delicious). Quarter them and cook them in the oven in a large covered roasting pan and water to cover the bottom. Keep the oven low, 200 degrees or so, and check on them in an hour or two or three. Then I scoop them out and put them through my Victorio Strainer. Bring the sauce to a boil and can. Sooo, if I can do it without sugar, I am pretty sure you could do it using stevia. I am pretty sure the sugar is only for flavoring cause I know diabetics can can without sugar. Maybe you can check on canning for diabetics to be certain. Another note for Rachel-I can my applesauce with no sugar. I use a very naturally sweet variety (Golden Delicious).

My oldest daughter doesn't like the stevia aftertaste but it tastes fine to me. For jam making I use the "no sugar" box pectin and then I add an optional one cup of sugar. It is still sweet but you can taste more fruit flavor than when you add the typical three cups of sugar to a regular box of pectin. And here is my healthy breakfast idea contribution: Core and cube one large apple (or equivalent), add a handful of raisins, chop a handful of walnuts (or other nut) and add, drizzle with raw honey. Mix. Eat. A sprinkle of cinnamon could be a variation. Susan For Rachel-I have used stevia while canning grape juice. My oldest daughter doesn’t like the stevia aftertaste but it tastes fine to me.

When it comes to other things, though, you can A. experiment with reducing sugar - you'll have to see how little you can get away with in your family, and B. in the meantime switch to healthier alternatives - Stevia is good, but only for a few things in my experience.

I make my own jam/ preserves but my recipes use a ton of sugar! (So do many of our canned fruits. To what extent can i cut the sugar out (my husbands family likes things really sweet) and what would make a good substitute? Would Stevia work for sweetening those. Would it mix into applesauce evenly? I think our canned fruit uses sugar as a preservative too and I don;t want to compromise the preserving power.

We are preparing to begin a gluten-free, casein-free diet for our family. We have two boys with asthma, eczema and allergies and we are excited to see how this diet will help improve everyone's health. I think breakfast will be the hardest change for my boys as we eat too much cereal right now.
