Rudi’s Gluten Free Bread is not something you would even think about, unless you’re watching your Gluten.
YES! CHEF MARIAN! WE FEEL LIKE SPACE ALIENS NOT BEING ABLE TO EAT REGULAR BREAD.
I get it. So do I. But if you’re eating a bread that actually tastes good, soft and yummy, it can wipe away some of that feeling. And of course, if you do well with Gluten, it would be a great idea to take a look at the regular Rudi’s Bread on the shelf when you go to Jimbo’s, Sprouts, Trader Joe’s, WholeFoods or any mindful eating establishment, to buy food. Organic, grown the right way with all the right things added like seeds, grains and sprouts that really add to the flavor and at the same time, giving you proper nutrition instead of just empty calories. Dr. Debbie and I talk about this all the time, in our Wellness Lectures. Food is no longer the same quality as our grandmothers enjoyed. Some of what’s produced is not even edible…. our bodies don’t process chemicals, things that are genetically modified, etc.
And the bread is sort of the glue that holds the entire meal together, right? Why go for bread that is just empty calories?
When you’re eating a carefully crafted bread, Rudi’s or not, you can really tell the difference.
Tapping my fingers on the table this morning, saying: “What will I eat? What will I eat”? I decided that instead of a plant based protein breakfast, which I do most mornings, I want a poached egg. Yep. It’s that Eggs Benedict craving that comes and goes…. lol
We’ve talked about this before… but just as a reminder ~ a poached egg should take 4 minutes in boiling water. And we’re throwing in some vinegar, so that the egg will stick to itself, instead of having a ton of whites at the top of your water, to scrape away.
I toasted my bread…..that was my bottom…. layered some spinach on the bread, placed the egg on top and guess what? When I cut into the egg, the inside of that yolk ran across the spinach down to the bread making it like a sauce of sorts. Man! Was that good!
If you practice ‘mindful’ eating like I do (at least 90% of the time), one piece is enough.
I can tell you that for lunch I double the amount of bread. Probably should be doing that the other way around, since breakfast is supposed to be your biggest meal. But there’s something so satisfying about managing your food in a way where you are actually enjoying every bite ……… and one bread, a bunch of spinach and an egg is enough!
Hey, it’s a great way to live life, be satisfied and lose weight!
One more thing I would like to remind you ….
YES CHEF MARIAN?
The statistics show that all of us that are Gluten Free or trying to be as much of the time as we can….. make one serious mistake. Here’s bread, here’s cookies, here’s cake….. and they’re all Gluten Free, so they must be alright to eat. Right?
RIGHT. THEY’RE GOOD TO EAT!
Everything in moderation, my tasty eaters! Watch your portion control no matter what is going into that mouth of yours! lol
Happy Eating,
Chef Marian
