Quick Waffle Cinnamon Toast

A Belgian waffle maker can turn a slice of white bread into a crispy, sweet treat for breakfast or snack in 60 seconds.

slice of hearty white bread
soft margarine
cinnamon-sugar mixture

Preheat the waffle iron to about 400 F (200 C). Spread the bottom side of the bread lightly with margarine and center on the hot iron. Spread margarine on the top side and sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly. Close the iron, press gently, and bake about 60 seconds. Careful, it will be hot. Variation: Just sprinkle with sugar, no spice.

Bacon, Scrambled Eggs, and Buttered Toast

Along with a juice glass of V-8, this is a typical breakfast for me, a maturity-onset diabetic. I dedicate this "recipe" to my beautiful, sweet-natured, and earnest young doctor MB, MD, from her manifestly favorite patient.

2 eggs

1 T light cream

pinch of salt

healthy grind of pepper

1 t butter

2 rashers of "low-fat" toaster-oven bacon

1 slice Arnold's™ Country-Style White

1 t low-fat soft margarine

Whisk the eggs, seasonings, and cream until frothy. Heat the butter until a bit brown in an 8 inch skillet. Add the egg mixture, and scramble lightly. When done but soft, plate as shown with a slice of hot "buttered" toast and crispy bacon. Coffee and juice of course.
