The Breakfast Club
food over 50

In Season 2, Food Over 50's first episode "The Breakfast Club" addresses our hasty and redundant consumption of what is widely consider "the most important meal of the day!" But is it? Does a lumberjack breakfast full of bacon, sausage, ham, potatoes and pancakes & syrup really make sense at our age? FO5O's Chef/Host David Jackson helps us navigate the idea of a healthier, more sensible breakfast with three extraordinary morning meal options. First up is one of FO5O'S savory breakfast/brunch favorites, colorfully nutritious, delectably Dirty Eggs! They're scrambled with turmeric and sherry, mushrooms and spinach, then served over a single slice of whole grain toast slathered with humus! Then it's loads of fresh vegetables for an anytime breakfast, with a sumptuous Garden Skillet topped with a poached egg! And what's more comforting in the morning than oatmeal? Especially David's perfectly made steel-cut Slow Oats, with fresh pear and blueberries, or dates and walnuts!

Duration: 26 minutes and 46 seconds

Episode Number: 201

About Food Over 50:

The mission of the cooking series FOOD OVER 50 is to inform, instruct and entertain America's late Gen-X, Boomer and senior audiences with artistic and appetizing preparations of wide-ranging international recipes that are nutritionally enticing.

Hosted by David Jackson, FOOD OVER 50 is primarily taped in the scenic Mojave Desert, with cooking segments taking place in the kitchen, and select seafood recipes shot at Jackson's quaint seaside cottage in The Outer Hebrides in Scotland.

The series also provides viewers with their own personal nutritionist.

During each episode, registered dietician Elizabeth Kelsey joins David to critique recipes from a health perspective and emphasize the importance of cooking fresh food.
