You can make some decent whole wheat, high protein pancakes. Strangely I never make them for breakfast only supper.
I just follow a standard pancake recipe but substitute whole wheat flour and add a scoop of vanilla whey protein powder. The whole wheat flour does reduce the fluffiness, but it’s not that bad; and it’s worth it for the extra nutrition. Use fruit or jam on top instead of syrup. |
so eggs flour and milk?

What you do is you treat yourself to a pasta machine:
http://www.a-bestfixture.com/store/pasta.html and make your own whole wheat pasta. It's easy and you don't have to dry it before cooking. As you all know, whole wheat flour has a lower glycemic index than white. You can make enough dough for several day's meals and then just roll and cut it while the pasta water heats. I've got one that looks like the Imperia or Al Dente knockoff on that website. The other thing you do is buy yourself a rice cooker and make brown rice with whatever steamed vegetable, meats, or seafood on top covered in sauce - white or cheese or brown. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_cooker Very simple and the basis for 1000 recipes. Any local cooking store should have a pasta machine and an Asian market should have rice cookers. |

any sauce tips? For sauce, learn to make white and Mornay sauces, recipes in every basic cookbook or online, just use google. Under the sauce, broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, green and red peppers, chicken, beef bits, shrimp, crab, etc., etc. |

When it's cooked, you wad it up in your hand into a ball or little sausage like thing, and dip it into various savory Asian sauces. But invest in the rice cooker. You'll never regret it, 'cause it takes about one minute to put in the rice and water and that's it. It shuts off automatically, and never burns the rice.

Favorite after-ride meal:
Chicken Stir Fry. 1/2 Boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed. Visible fat removed. 2cu frozen stir fry vegetables, thawed and drained. I like the mix with broccolli and sugar snap peas. Chinese 5-spice to taste Crushed red chili pepper to taste 1Tbs olive oil (not EVOO which burns too easily) 1/4cu Kikkoman stir-fry sauce or similar couple of handfulls of whole wheat, yolk-less, extra-wide egg noodles - al dente. While the pasta boils, season the chicken and add to a hot wok to brown in the OO. Once browned, add the veggies. Add the sauce after a few minutes and continue stirrin' and tossing until the chicken is fully cooked. Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the wok. Toss until evenly coated and mixed. Serves 2-3. |
I'm getting hungry....
