Remember that Banana Oat Bread recipe I posted? Well I worked on it a bit. Now I double it and make two rather different loaves…

Spiced Fruit and Banana Cocoa Breakfast Breads

This recipe makes two loaves of breakfast bread. Neither of these are very sweet. I created them because I was tired of eating oatmeal porridge every morning. They are high in fiber, low in saturated fat and sugar, and have a bit of protein.

8 mashed bananas

1 egg beaten into ¾ cup lowfat cottage cheese with non fat milk poured in to make up a cup mixture

2 Tbsp vanilla

4 Tbps sugar

4 Tbsp molasses

1&½ Tbsp cold coffee

½ Tbsp cinnamon

½ Tbsp ground ginger

2&1/2 Tbsps cocoa powder

2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

½ cup flour

1 cup whole old fashioned oats

1&½ cups oat flour (I make this by blitzing whole, old fashioned oats with a hand blender until it is the texture of a rough flour)

4 Tbsp avocado oil

½ cup walnuts, chopped

1 roasted peach or nectarine, chopped

¾ cup mixed frozen berries

Whisk together oat flour, flour, whole oats, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and chopped walnuts. Separate this mixture into equal halves and set aside.

Mix together the mashed bananas, the egg/cottage cheese/ milk mixture, vanilla, sugar and molasses. Separate this mixture into equal halves in a pair of large bowls. In one bowl add cold coffee and cocoa powder (and a dash of cinnamon if you like). Into the other bowl add roasted peach or nectarine, cinnamon and ginger.

Add the dry flour mixtures to each of your wet mixtures and gently fold together. Before you finish mixing the spiced fruit batter add your frozen berries. Add 2 Tbsp of avocado oil to each mixture. Do not over mix. Add the batters to 2 loaf pans or square 9x9 pans that have been lightly greased.

Bake these at 350, giving them a half turn at 15 minutes. Check them at 30 minutes. If you are cooking in a 9x9 pan your bread will be done quicker. You may have to bake these for 45 to 50 minutes. It should be set and a tester should come out with a few crumbs but not wet. Let these cool in the pan and then turn out.

Next time I make these I think I will add roasted cherries to the Banana Cocoa better. Will let you guys know how it works out.

Potato?

Oh Potatoes! I love Potatoes for many reasons. They’re great and healthy for you. They’re rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants.

When Scurvy was a really big issue potatoes were literally life savers at the time as well! They have done wondrous things for peoples health and saved many many lives. They also contain potassium and contain a specific electrolyte that helps your heart muscles and nervous system function!. They have fiber rich skin and are very low in calories as well!

But there’s also the downside on potatoes. There’s some research suggesting that eating too much potatoes raises the risk of diabetes and hypertension which has over time been raised as well from being genetically modified and used in mostly used to make greasy foods like fries. Please take this with a grain of salt. These are of course studies and research and it never hurts to be a bit skeptical even with science!

Did you know that some food guides have started to exclude potatoes from the vegetable group due to how often it’s associated with high-fat diets?(Fast food/Junk food)

Potatoes are generally fantastic and easy to use for just about everything. The saying or insult of “ couch potato “ is pretty silly imo. When people tell you that you don’t want to be a potato or anything along that line they are completely ignoring the fact at how versatile a potato actually is. They are used to make all kinds of foods whether as sides, compliments to the main dish (or the main dish themselves) or eaten as a snack. From baked potatoes to chips to even Vodka! They are able to be used in so many ways and I think people really miss the bus here. I think being called a potato should be a good thing in positive context. Being versatile and able to do or make so many things by being yourself is amazing honestly.

Here’s a small list of things potatoes are used to make or made into

Hash browns, chips, fries, tater tots, potato salad, potato bread, potato pie, potato soup, potato noodles, hasselbacked, boiled, broiled, mashed, smashed, baked, braised, roasted, fried, and smoked

And here’s a small list of different kinds of potatoes

Russet, Jewel Yam, Japanese sweet, Hannah sweet, Austrian crescent, Blue, Red norland, Russian banana, La ratte, purple majesty, French fingerling, Red gold, Red bliss, Yukon gold, Red thumb, Creamers, orange sweets, and yams.

It should be important to note that I am taking classes for Culinary and food. I am learning a lot about food and enjoy food! I suppose this is incredibly lucky timing because I am just finishing up learning about fruits and vegetables. A lot of this also comes from research and I am by no means a professional. Please take all that I say with a grain of salt. I also encourage anyone who reads this to PLEASE do their own research as well!!

under the assumption that people making those "i forget to eat all day and then eat two blueberries" posts are being earnest and would actually like help for this, here are some calorie dense lazy meals that can help you make sure youre getting enough food quickly from your local eating disorder recovery dude who knows way too much about calories and nutrition

peanut butter sandwich. any variation or any other nut butter is fine, but make sure it's a real butter with oil etc, not the powdered stuff. peanut butter is very calorie dense and has protein and fat. pairings like bananas, wheat bread, and other quick additions can bulk it up

granola. granola is super calorie dense even in small amounts. throw a bunch into some full fat yogurt with some fruit, drizzle honey or maple syrup if youre up to it and feeling fancy. add nuts, chocolate, whatever.

chocolate -- one bar is usually between 250-500 calories depending on size.

nuts!!!! nuts have tons of calories and lots of protein and healthy fats. one cup of walnuts is 500+ calories -- i'd also suggest these w full fat yogurt and fruit for extra bulk/protein.

COOK WITH OIL!! a little goes a long way. butter is also an option.

avocados. avocado toast is the millenial joke but put a thick layer of avocado on a couple fat slices of bread (toasted if youd like) and toss seasonings and whatever youd like on it for a good dose of fat fiber and carbs. if you have the energy, add an egg for extra protein

pasta. cook an entire box of pasta ahead of time and keep it in the fridge, reheat on low energy days. a bowl can give you a good amount of calories, even more if you add sauce/cheese/etc. rice is also a good option -- especially if you Throw An Egg On It(tm) again.

bananas arent super high calorie but they have higher calories than most fruit, so mix them with other things (on toast, in yogurt, etc) to bulk up

mix and match these foods if you want calorie bombs that can make up for a day of undereating, ex: a bowl of full fat yogurt with bananas, nuts and chocolate chips, pasta with olive oil and cheese, avocado toast with thick bread and oil drizzle.

this is just a starting point. go for meals that have a good mix of carbs, protein, fiber and fat. doesnt matter where it comes from, just get it in. pizza. sweet potato with butter. a frozen broccoli bake. canned chili with rice. egg and cheese on a bagel. getting all your calories in one meal is NOT recommended but if you struggle eating throughout the day you can bulk out what you do eat to make sure youre not hurting your body.

Today's lunch!

Curried chicken salad in whole wheat pita, banana, and Naughty Vicar tea served on vintage gilded Steubenville Woodfield tea and toast set.

Recipe and story under the cut.

Curried Statdler Chicken Salad (I'm calling it Statdler salad, because it's awfully close to Waldorf.)

1 can of chicken. You could also catch, slaughter, pluck, prep, and cook a chicken. I just buy a can from Aldi.

Handful of grapes. Any kind is fine. If they're small, that's good. If not, cut them in half.

Handful of pecan pieces. (Walnuts are traditional, but I live in the Mississippi River valley; we eat pecans here.)

Just enough Duke's Mayonnaise to hold it together. (Trust me, Duke's is the best. They put crack in it or something.) I used the low fat formula. You should, too, if you don't still have a gallbladder.

Curry powder. I can only use the kind without garlic or onion, but you do you.

Whole wheat pita. Or crackers, bread of your choice, or one of those egg wrapper things to hold the chicken salad.

Medium bowl to mix in.

You could add some chopped apple pieces. I forgot to do this, and it was still great.

You could add chopped onions, if you love to stink.

Gather your ingredients first. (Don't make my mistake.)

Open the can of chicken, and drain the fluid. Move the cat out of the way. Explain to both cats, now, that this lunch is for people, not cats. They won't believe you, but it will make you feel better. Dodge furry bodies while you gather the rest of the ingredients. (Didn't I say not to make my mistake?)

Scoop out the bit of chicken fat sitting on top.

If there are no pets present, dump the chicken fat in the trash. Or eat it. I won't judge.

If there are pets present, dig out the Special Wet Food cat bowl(s). Put the chicken fat in the bowl(s). Mash up a piece of chicken for each bowl. Place the bowls on the floor to appease the angry, pointy, furry Gods that live in your house.

Dump the remaining chicken into the medium bowl. Wash the grapes, cut them if needed, and drop them into the bowl. Add the pecans. I used chopped pecans, but you do you.

Add the Duke's Mayonnaise to the bowl. Try not to overdo it; you only need enough to get the ingredients to stick together.

Before you stir, sprinkle curry powder on top.

Stir. If you have to add a little bit more Duke's Mayonnaise, go ahead.

A big can of chicken makes at least two sandwiches, so if you're eating alone, put half into a container and set it in the fridge.

Cut the pita half and scoop Statdler salad into both halves.

Serve on your fanciest dishes, because you're worth it.
