We make a feast of our breakfasts.

First published in Seaport Scene



After a large plate of porridge we have a small dish of sautéed mushrooms and spinach, eaten on toast.  

Here is the basic recipe for mushrooms and spinach, to which can be added any number of other ingredients such as tomatoes, cooked potatoes or any other left overs.

Saute in hot vegetable stock, adding just one spoonful at a time

• 1 cup chopped mushrooms 
  

Add and continue to cook

• 1 handful chopped spinach (or any other similar green)
  

Add a little of one or more of the following, to your taste

• Chilli sauce
  
• Soy sauce
  
• Lemon juice
  
• Salt and pepper

Having been fully satiated by a breakfast of porridge, apple pieces, toast and the above dish, we can face the day without resorting to any further food for many hours and we continue to lose weight.

Some people tell me that they have not got time to prepare such a meal, but I have timed myself through all the processes of creating a two course breakfast and the time applied is no more than 10 minutes in total.  The problem is not time, it is arranging the processes so that they don’t take extra time.  And what is 10 minutes a day to save a life.
