So I'm going to say that, um, making a tofu scramble. And we have a wonderful recipe in Rouxbe for a tofu scramble that has peppers and onions and other things in it like that. And you can batch cook it, and you can put it into little containers or put it into, uh, little baggies or whatever you like to store your food in. They freeze beautifully and you can, um, take them out overnight into the refrigerator to let them thaw. If you use a microwave, you can microwave them and you can use them to make a breakfast sandwich. Um, I know a lot of you like Ezekiel bread. Um, I also wanna give a shout out to this, uh, Alvarado sprouted wheat bread, which is also very good. Um, I find that these kinds of breads, which have good intentions and are so much better for you, but they seem to taste a lot better when they have been toasted. And I read a lot of your questions this week, and it seems as though some people are in the hunt for, uh, butter and there will never be anything to replace butter. However, sometimes on a sandwich I suggest using hummus because it spreads beautifully and it kind of gives you that texture and added flavor that you might be looking for in a breakfast sandwich. Now, uh, Anne Essel has a wonderful recipe in the prevent and reverse heart disease cookbook, and it is for savory oats. And what it is is steel cut oats, a little bit of stock, shiitake mushrooms without the stems, um, tomatoes, ginger, and turmeric. And it cooks beautifully. And it is, uh, a hearty rich anti-inflammatory breakfast. I will say that the first time I ate it, I thought, oh my God, what is this? And I will share with you that it was Ann Leston who made it. But I have to tell you that now, it's like one of my favorite things. I use it as a side dish with dinner, but it's a wonderful breakfast to have. And that also, uh, is something that you can use to, um, to, uh, make in bulk and then put it into little jars or also freeze it in the refrigerator. So I also think that, uh, toast with nut butter or hummus, there's no one saying that you can't have, uh, a hummus sandwich with tomatoes for breakfast. I think that when, um, what you're new to following a whole food plant-based, no oil, salt or sugar diet, uh, you might perceive it as being somewhat, uh, overwhelming and maybe with little choices. But the more that you are, you do this. Uh, I know Fran Costigan does it. I do it. We all eat greens for breakfast. You know, a side of greens with a tofu scramble is certainly a delicious, delicious, uh, breakfast. So I would say think outside the box and forget about what that traditional breakfast that you used to make was. And I think that the more creative that you get, uh, the more enjoyable the whole process becomes.
