Rainboots for Breakfast (What Next?)

Book Description

Everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but nevertheless, more Americans skip breakfast than any other meal. Skipping breakfast in exchange for rushing out the door to catch the car pool, leaves us hungry by mid-morning and often with an urge to graze continually throughout the day. Whats for Breakfast? is more than a cookbook. Its a guide to learning how to eat healthier, first thing in the morning. This book contains more than 100 time-sensitive recipes (Super Quick, Quick, Do-Ahead, and Worth the Effort) such as Ham and Cheese Calzone with Apples, Sunrise Carbonara, Sour Cream Pancakes, Orange Cappuccino Coffee Mix and Beat the Blues Coffeecake. Full sections on Why Breakfast?, Breakfast for Kids and the Pro-Carb Connection! Learn more about the Breakfast Formula and youll never feel hungry at mid-morning again! All recipes give a full nutrient profile and diabetic food exchanges.

An interesting set of ideas for breakfast........2005-01-02

About half of the book is nutritional and other information about breakfast that seems geared towards those trying to change their current diet -- Why Breakfast?, Breakfast for Kids, The Breakfast Formula, Shopping Guides, and Recipe Modifications. It may be of limited value for those who already eat healthy foods and are just looking for new recipes.

There are over 100 recipes, many of which I would classify more as ideas than "recipes", e.g., Pear Honey Butter consists of mashed canned pears mixed with honey. Most are indeed quite easy to prepare, although quite a few like Appleberry Sauce and Mandarin Orange Topping aren't meant to be served alone. By the time the pancakes, waffles, or french toast are made to serve with them, breakfast isn't really "Super Quick" anymore. The majority of the recipies are vegetarian. Most are suited for breakfast with the family rather than something you would want to serve to guests. Overall, the recipies provide a lot of interesting ideas of ways to spice up your usual breakfast -- something new to put on toast or mix with your oatmeal that you may not have thought of before. I've tried about 90% of the recipies and almost half of those I would make again.

A good starting place, but..........2001-11-26

The best thing about this book is that it gets you thinking "out of the box" about breakfast. The authors use ingredients that you don't generally think of and that can widen the possibilities far beyond cereal or eggs. It has good ideas for kids and good ideas for gradually introducing a healthier way to eat.

However, the front of the book, while not actually *wrong* (though there are some errors; I have a first edition so the typos may have been corrected), doesn't exactly tell the whole story. One quoted study had only nine subjects; others were similarly small, and I found at least one summary of a study that left me feeling like they had only used the information that bolstered their case (which of course, is that breakfast is important.)

Very little is said about food allergies or vegetarianism, and nothing about diabetes and other diseases. It toes the party line on things like including milk in your diet. And although the text emphasizes using fats in moderation, many of the recipes and menus are fairly high in fat. They wave this away by saying that you can balance it out with later meals in the day, but those, if anything, are likely to be fattier than breakfast.

I considered giving this as a primer on everyday nutrition to a friend who is having trouble with an overweight, pre-diabetic teen, but after studying the nutrition information I decided it was misleading and/or incomplete enough that I changed my mind.

I do like the quick lists of menus, the quick ways to figure out how much protein, fats, etc. you should be eating, and the recipes look interesting. If you are looking for a recipe book and not a nutrition primer, this might be a good choice.

More than a cookbook.......2001-01-13

A good book, but... This was written by two Registered Dieticians. That's probably why the first three chapters (88 PAGES!) are filled with nutritional information and NOT recipes. There are a little more than 100 recipes, divided into Super Quick (15 minutes or less), Quick (35 minutes or less), Do Ahead (muffins and such), and Worth the Effort (more than 35 minutes prep). I don't know about you but, I do not define 35 minutes of preparation as a QUICK breakfast! Having said all that, the recipes are a good mix of grown-up stuff and kid-pleasers... everything from smoothies to casseroles. This would probably be a good book for someone who is stumped for breakfast ideas (beyond cold cereal, toast and coffee) AND wants some nutritional information.

Good approaches to nutritious fill-you-up breakfasts!.......1999-01-26

I enjoyed the meal plans and the nutrition section was very entertaining and informative. A must for anyone who wishes to eat breakfast in a healthful way.

Book Description

Nowhere are Kathryn Tucker Windam's transcendant themes of community, fidelity, and family more evident than in these stories. The author calls them recollections of a happy Southern childhood, but her avid admirers would tell you they are much more than that. Combing her vivid characterization, her affection for the South and its people, her well-seasoned humor, and her distinctive diction, these stories capture something of Southern culture that is in danger of extinction. By listening to Ms. ....

A Very Simple Way To Improve Your Vocabulary.......2007-09-26

As someone who learns English as the second language, I want to mention that this book provides a great tool for improving the vocabulary. The excercises are designed to be effective in memorizing each new word that you learn.

Well Written Vocabulary book.......2004-01-18

I used this book for a remedial reading class at my community college. It is very well written and I like the execises in the book. It is a good book for people with weak vocabularies. I found the book and the words to be very easy. I knew most of the words in the book. I got an A on almost every vocab test from that book. I think the author should use more challenging words.

Book Description

Jack Hagee, PI: "Hagee's Manhattan is the one the tourists don't get to see. It's those small twisty back streets in Chinatown, the reeking dumpster-filled alleys of midtown, the crumbling docks, the beer-drenched bars that stink of rotting foam and their patron's indifference. It is a lump of land 14 miles long stuffed with seven million people every day--which is apparently five and half million more than it can handle. It is a violent, twisted, thieving, scum-hole. It isn't really hell on earth, it's more what you get when you put too many rats in a cage and slam the door. If you picked the place up and moved it to Kansas and filled it with corn-fed farmers, in two weeks they would be littering, horn-blowing, sex crazed, in-your-****ing-face-every-damned-minute-of-every-***-licking-day, pissed-off, insensitive mother****ers with too much attitude who drink too much coffee.
