    As a kid, I was a tad bit jealous of the other kids whose parents bought them lunchables and sugary cereals. Now, I realize how much my mom loved us ( not that those parents don’t, but still ) to cook my brother and I breakfast and lunches to take to school every day, she even made desserts for us to take. I was really blessed and didn’t know it.

    You definitely have been key to helping me feel more confident in the kitchen. I was never taught to cook and learned from you and your brother over the past several years. You don't just teach recipes and techniques, you have taught me how to not be afraid of the kitchen and cooking beyond a recipe.

    I live in Turkey and here the go to weekday breakfast is cheese, olives, eggs, cucumbers and tomatoes, fresh bread and tea. You can find this breakfast at every home in the morning. If you get bored, you make a grilled cheese sandwich in a panini maker. Or you make an omelet, or menemen (Google menemen, it is soooo good). Turkish breakfast is mostly savory, and if you want something sweet, you have honey or some jam. I'm working and I'm a mom and it takes 10 minutes to make the tea and set the table. Nowadays with so much spring fruits, I make smoothies too, which adds an international twist. I rarely make pancakes too but only at weekends.

    0:43 ABSOLUTELY NAILED THAT INTRO. There is nothing more spot on than that millennial observation. I laughed so hard at the “dark ages of the kitchen” lol so true man. When I tell my kids what we had for lunch (mind you, I make my kids super awesome elaborate sandwiches for lunch with fresh fruits and veges on the side, sometimes olives and pickles, great homemade muffins or banana bread) they can’t believe it. My lunch was white bread with margarine and Nutella spread, a juice box, roll ups, packet of twisties or other chips, and some gross fruit which I NEVER ate. We never even had drink bottles as kids like they didn’t exist back in the 80s and 90s. If we ever wanted water (which was rare) we would have a bubbler no one really used. Now I can’t imagine life without a bottle of water with me. I remember when they first tried to sell mount Franklin bottles of water (I was about 18/19) and I thought it was THE most ridiculous product ever. Flash forward 20 years and look where we are today.

    I am from Germany and however stereotypical it may seem, a slice of a delicious healthy bread with some butter and cheese will always be my go to. We have many small independent bakeries who care for their products and as a student, having to eat some breakfast on the the go often, they make my life so much easier. Bread in itself is such a crazy thing, so many different ways to make it and put flavor into it. Recently I’m really hooked on carrot bread with the crust covered in seeds;)

    16:54 I love this video! As a young Baby Boomer (61) I was cooking healthy food for my family from the get-go! Cookies were filled with fibre. Muffins were made with lots of fibre (flax, etc) and pulp from my champion juicer. “Ice cream” was made with frozen fruit sent through the champion juicer. Vitamix became our most used appliance for making green monster shakes, vegetable soups, and nut milks. I was doing “hot-cold salads” (what you guys call Buddha bowls, I think). And depending where we lived I had a large vegetable garden. I ground fresh wheat from the farmers when we lived on the prairies (no gluten allergies) and also got into sourdough and regular yeast bread, experimenting with flours like rye and spelt. It truly has been fun watching your videos from the early Brothers Green morphing into your current style, which I just love!! The only thing I have not been able to do yet is raise our own laying hens (municipal by-laws). Again, I just love the current iteration of your videos. Love the dad cooking for his family , love the humour, enjoyed the graphics too! ❤

    The base and technique for your banana nut muffins is great! I've adapted it quite a bit to suit me and it worked out surprisingly well. Now I'm healthifying other recipes I have using the same concept. What I appreciate is you teaching cooking/baking, rather than how to make just one recipe. It makes me more versatile and confident in experimenting without wasting too much money, as I've been known to do in the past. I also like that the muffin recipe is small, so even if I do mess up, it's not such a huge loss. Thank you!

    This is very similar to how I make breakfast for me and my kids, I have a 3yr old and 4yr old. Our muffins are bakery style muffins that use Greek yogurt and frozen berries. We like a chia breakfast bowl instead of the oats. If you heat up your milk, the chia seeds will gel in about 5 min, then add Greek yogurt and serve with berries heated up in a skillet. Sweeten and flavor it of course. And we love smoothies with banana and frozen berries and Greek yogurt and milk. I might try adding some greens next time. I am interested in trying your oatmeal. I think we would like it with some granola on top. Thanks for the inspiration 😊

They were very cheap to make and add extra nutrition from powered milk, flax seeds, and healthy grains, fats and sweeteners. Since I wasn't a morning person, I had the dry ingredients all ready to go in a bowl and the wet ingredients mixed up in the blender container in the fridge. In morning while oven was preheating, I mixed the wet and dry together then put in the tins and baked.

    And this type of "scrambled omelette" is my go-to breakfast. It's easy, fast, and so customizable. I'll usually stick to 2 or 3 ingredients at the most, as it gets a bit too much for a couple of eggs, but it's such a great way to add flavour and variety to scrambled eggs.

    Hi! Thanks for these amazing recipes! I’ve been watching them for years. Just a tip, if you’re not gluten intolerant (celiac disease) and you don’t have a gluten allergy, it really is not at all necessary to use gluten free flour. It isn’t even ‘healthier’ for you, since gluten free flour lacks in fiber. Making a ‘mix’ with (gluten) spelt flour and glutenfree flour is objectively a waste. I know it’s a trend to a eat less gluten, but it’s a big big BIG scam. If you think you might be intolerant, please do get your blood tested.

    • @nackedgrils9302
      @nackedgrils9302 Рік тому +3

      The cheapest way to know if you are gluten sensitive is to eat seitan. Just make sure you don't have to do anything on the next day. If you have a reaction, you might be celiac but there are other explanations like wheat allergy, IBS, etc. I personally don't think that it's a waste to lower your gluten intake because I only react to high doses of gluten but, if you have no reason to believe that you are gluten sensitive then, yeah, it's a waste of money.

    I would love more of these low sugar breakfasts! (I am in the stage of prediabetes so I have to watch about the sugar intake) Getting a various breakfast is hard. When I am looking for breakfast recipes on the internet I always find breakfasts with a lot of sugary stuff which I don't get why or every other recipe is with eggs but as far as I know it is not good for eating eggs for almost every day because of the one of the colesterol levels. (LDH or HDL - I don't know)

      The eggs won't hurt you. Any grain-based food, even oatmeal, is carbohydrate, which is bad for diabetes and must be managed/controlled. Potatoes are poison for diabetics, as is bread. Carbs turn to sugar fast when digested. Blood sugar goes up, then crashes in a while and you are shaky and hungry.

    I'm a gen x'er, baby boomer parents, and we never had sugary cereal for breakfast. And I mean never. The sweetest we ever had was rice crispy with banana slices added. But we usually had eggs, oatmeal, cream of wheat or a warm shredded wheat log. Every now and then we had a sweet Raisin Bran (love raisin bran). I live in Newfoundland Canada, and walked to school, so a good breakfast was needed, especially in the winter (Nov to march). Sundays were set aside for a full breakfast of bacon, eggs or french toast/pancakes. I always found it strange that people would have basically desert or candy (that's what those cereals are like) for breakfast.

      Agreed. I’m also Canadian, from BC, and we didn’t get sugary cereals except as a special treat. I think it really depends on your parents, where you grew up, and when you were raised. I think that the boomers were raised by parents (moms) who knew how to cook, but a lot didn’t pass on those skills to their kids, so our boomer parents were more likely to use microwave meals/sugary cereals, etc, because they didn’t know how to cook.

      I thought what he said was the boomers were the first generation to really not cook as much as their parents because that’s when the processed food hit the market, and it makes perfect sense. Obviously every person doesn’t fit into that mold, but it is true, and that’s how processed food has survived and thrived. Sadly.

    Tip - If you like Bob's red Mill thick cut oats - and you se them for $30+ for 4, 32 oz bags, like 26-30 cents/oz, and 2-4 week delivery (even with prime) - put them in your cart and wait a few days or a week. When they are back in stock - they go down to 15 cents/oz, and overnight/regular delivery times. Right now - direct from Bob's Red mill - they are 12 cents/oz - search for and see what teh price is now, then wait - never seen it lower than .12 cents. "Bob's Red Mill Organic Extra Thick Rolled Oats, 32-ounce (Pack of 4)" and the organic is usually more - it is just a cycle.

    I at first did not understand the title. i don't know anything other than making my own breakfast:) If I don't, there is no breakfast. It was not the case growing up though. I just changed my habits over time, especially once I had kids. We have no ready-made breakfasts (don't really know what that would look like anyway apart from cereal which i never buy) at home. Family favorites: banana pancakes or waffles ( and by pancakes I actually mean more like "crepes"), oatmeal, green smoothies (my kids love those), muffins, omelette...We also love having home-made whole-grain bread at home, we stopped buying bread during the pandemic, my husband developed a passion for baking bread in 2020:) It's important to me that the whole family starts the day with a complete meal with protein, healthy fats and complex carbs. Fruit or veggies are also often present at the breakfast table.
