Bacon, Egg, and Tomato Stacks - Wheat Belly

So what's for breakfast for a "Wheat Belly"? 

Here's one light idea from page 63 of Dr. William Davis' "Wheat Belly 30-minute (or less) Cookbook":

His cookbook suggests this when you're hankering for something a little different for breakfast.  It's a departure from the usual scrambled or fried eggs!
First off, cook a slice of bacon for each "tomato stack" you intend to make.  We cooked three pieces because my wife only wanted one egg.  I, obviously, wanted two!  Cook any way you want, and sit aside until the eggs are ready.

I'm not going to complicate this by listing a lot of ingredients, suffice it to say it's too simple! 

On a slightly greased baking sheet, place a large sliced (the book recommends 1/2" slices) tomato; one for each slice of bacon you intend to have.  Drizzle each slice with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and broil for 3 to 4 minutes (until lightly brown).

Place the slices on a plate, crisscross each with a piece of bacon, and move on to the eggs.
The hard part may be in preparing the poached eggs, but it involves gently putting eggs into 2" of water that contains 3 tablespoons of white vinegar.  You will note that my water was dark in color, but I used apple cider vinegar because that's all I had.  However, it worked fine! 

Cook the eggs until they have the consistency you prefer...mine tend to be runny, but you can judge for yourself.
Place an egg (using a slotted spoon and dry under the spoon before moving over the tomatoes) on each of the slices. 

Season with salt and pepper (use some chives if you want).  Enjoy!

MAKE FRENCH TOAST FAST!

I was walking through the store last week, looking for something different for breakfast, when I spotted the Pepperidge Farm - Swirl Breads.  Then I remembered the  French-toast my mom used to make me.

The wheels turned some more and I thought, "Why go to all that mixing trouble, just dunk some of this "Brown Sugar and Cinnamon" swirl-bread!"


So I got a package and the next morning I just broke an egg into a bowl, added about 3 tablespoons of milk, whipped it a few times and plopped a couple of "swirl-bread slices, and cooked it in a med-hot frying pan coated with melted butter!

Man!  With a side of ham and a cup of hot coffee, it was the quickest and best breakfast I'd had in months!
