Breakfast-like

If you have followed this blog, you may have noticed a slight - ahem - lull in posts.  There is a reason for this: I have more or less ceased to eat anything that resembles breakfast.  This turn of events has nothing to do with a diminished passion for the mightiest of meals - not at all.  Through a sheer quirk in my somatic fate, it has become clear that if I eat a particularly limited diet that consists primarily of meat, vegetables, fruit, sweet potatoes, coconut, olives and olive oil - with a few fermented products thrown in (saurkraut, kim chi, pickles) - I function much better and most poignantly get fewer migraines.  My whole dietary situation is way more complicated than the gluten-free approach that I mentioned in my last post, which was the first of many twists and turns on this path.  I will post a link to the diet below, if anyone is interested.*  Meanwhile, I have recently discovered one thing I can make that actually has some of the breakfast like qualities that I so love.  It is humble, so please don't get your hopes up too much, reader - but I have discovered that slowly-toasted coconut gives me much of what has been lost - most notably what can be described as the warmth, mild sweetness, crunch and richness of hot buttered toast or English muffins.  With a side of fresh fruit, I am pleased to report this simple repast replenishes and nurtures some of my longing for the breakfasts of my culinary past.
