    I keep dried fruit in the house and add them to the water of the oatmeal. They soften as the water comes to a boil then I add in my oatmeal and butter. It makes for a hearty and fruity breakfast. I found some on sale and mixed the different fruits in a large container.

    I’m so happy to hear that somebody else doesn’t find oatmeal very filling. Everyone I talk to says that it sticks to your ribs and it leaves them full for hours and that is just not the case with me. I never thought about turning oatmeal into something else, though, so thank you for the recipe. I hope you’re feeling better.

    I like to use unsweetened applesauce in oatmeal pancakes too. My favorite H & S tea is their chocolate mint tea. A friend got me that several years ago and I've been addicted to it ever since.

    I use all my supermarket points for Christmas dinner so I dont have to worry about spending a fortune that month. You would probably like Indian spiced Chai. Tea is good. Glad you're feeling better. Real maple syrup is so good compared to the flavoured stuff at most places. Apple protein pancakes would be nice and filling. Thanks for the video Michelle.

    The cabbage dish would be great with rice noodles mixed into it.
    Cafe Bustelo makes an instant espresso. It's not espresso. But it is a step up from instant coffee. Dollar General sells it.
    Glad you're feeling better.

    I have a book idea, I may have already suggested it, but Nala’s world about a guy who happens to rescue a cat out in the middle of nowhere in Bosnia while he’s riding his bicycle around the world and how she, the kitten, stole his heart. It’s all about that and their adventures! His first name is Dean but I have forgotten his last name. He is also on you tube and donates to animal shelters around the world. He still travels as well. The cat is amazing as she is fully adapted to travel. She actually has a fan base and they run into them all over the world!!

    I love harney and sons tea. I’m not a big fan of cinnamon but their hot cinnamon is wonderful. And it does not even need sugar. I also love their Ceylon and India orange pekoe. Their London Fog tea is excellent. I love their African Autumn rooibos as well. When it comes to tea, black and herbal teas can handle being immersed in boiling water. But green and white teas can become bitter if exposed to boiling water. Better to put green tea in water after the boiling water has been in the cup for a bit. I have a hot water pot that I turn the temperature down a smidge that lets me pour water over the green. But still ok for the black or herbal teas. One nice thing about harney and sons is you can order a bag of teabags to refill the tins of their most popular teas like the hot cinnamon. Thanks for your inspiration even though you’ve been sick. Take your time and rest up. Drink lots of tea. 🫖 ☕️ 😊

      ​@ArdentMichelle I'm not into tea that much because most of them don't taste like anything to me, and the tannins in a lot of twigs and barks will set off my stomach. But there is an HT tea, I can'tremember if it's the cinnamon or if it was a pumpkin spice that I absolutely loved. But I can't believe you got them for $5! I paid the Barnes & Noble markup price a few years ago!😅
      And the birthday cake flavor is not worth it
      Good to know that you can refill and reuse that tin

    I am glad you are well again. I just love spending my Sunday’s with you. I have just discovered buckwheat groats and roasted kasha buckwheat. This gluten free seed can be ground into flour to make pancakes and can be both a cold and hot breakfast cereal. I use the roasted variety to make savory meals. It’s a great rice or potato substitute. The beauty of buckwheat is that it is lower on the glycemic index compared to rice and oatmeal. If you can’t find roasted kasha just roast the buckwheat groats in a hot skillet. I make a one cup batch of the groats and store them in the refrigerator. The next morning I add 1/3 cup of the cooked groats to a pan and cover with almond milk. You can add whatever ingredients you like to make a delicious hot or cold porridge. I also use cooked cold roasted kasha to make a fried rice substitute. Search how to make buckwheat so it’s not mushy. It’s best to rinse and soak in water for 10-15 minutes. Add equal amounts of cold water and salt to a pan. Cook until it begins to boil. Remove from the heat and cover with a towel for 15 minutes.

    Thanks for the cabbage recipe! I just made an entire recipe of Korean cabbage pancakes and had a giant one for breakfast. They were so good. I used half of a really big cabbage, chopped up with some scallions that we’re on the last legs and Two eggs in about half a cup of flour and a quarter of a cup of cornstarch it made at least four servings Now stacked in the refrigerator. I think I’m in my cabbage era because I’m just sick of broccoli. The other half of that giant cabbage made Parmesan cabbage steaks and they were delicious too!
    Michelle, there’s no such thing as bad food. There’s just food, but I understand trying to make the healthiest choices during the week and make celebratory choices on the weekend.

      I have been trying that, because, like michelle, I find that oatmeal does not keep me full until lunchtime like egg whites and veggies do. I'm going to try this pancake recipe that she did here because I have a couple of apples that need some attention. I also like Trader Joe's 7 grains cereal. Maybe it's because it has quinoa in it that it stays with me a little longer

    Great video Michelle! I agree about oatmeal, I don’t find it super filling by itself. However, if I put a pat of butter (I’m not shy with the butter, I’d say it’s a 1/2 tablespoon pat) and chopped walnuts or pecans on top with some brown sugar it helps make it more filling. Also, I add either banana or apple. If I have time, I sauté small dice apple in the butter and brown sugar. If anybody needs tips on how to make a healthy food much more fattening, follow me! 😂 Have a great week!

I add fresh fruit, maple syrup, nuts, and granola in some combination. Sometimes even peanut or almond butter. I will have to try some of those Harney teas! They look so good.

    Not cheap but the pancakes might have been good with some chopped nuts too. Do you use stevia? I use it or monk fruit in place of sugar in a lot of things ( doesn't work well in all things like cookies still need some sugar to brown properly) but it's very sweet and just a good healthy alternative.
    Do you like sesame candy? That stuff is so good! A great author (loved everything she has written which says a lot) julliet marillier. Check out hearts blood, the caller series and daughter of the forest. Happy reading!
