Random stuff egg scramble
















I wanted to show you one of the breakfast ideas previously posted in action. This is our last morning before shopping go to meal. Aka, anything leftover that could remotely be put into eggs and eaten for breakfast. What kind of leftover things would you try out?

Today's score:

1/2 red onion
tiny bit of potato already roasted
one meatloaf muffin
1 cup of eggbeaters
red pepper flakes
grated low fat cheddar (from TJs)
Salsa
Sour cream

So saute the onion, potato and meatloaf in a large omelet pan until onions are wilty. Add 1 cup of egg substitute. Cover in shredded cheese and red pepper flakes (and S&P to taste). Cook about 5 minutes on stove top. Transfer under a high broiler for the next 5 minutes to cook the top and brown the cheese. Yum. Add salsa and sour cream and voila! You have the easiest bfast in the world. Mike and I each ate half of this so it's way too much for one person btw.

Oh and word of warning. Don't be so excited about eating this that you forget it was just under the broiler and try to grab the handle. :) My hand kinda hurts!

Breakfast ideas

Here are some of our main breakfast ideas we use regularly:

Egg wraps:

1/2 cup egg whites (egg beaters)
1 slice fat free cheese
2 tortillas
Salt, pepper, red pepper flakes

Cook eggs in small pan and flip when mostly finished. Spice to taste and then divide in half. Put each onto a tortilla and top with half the cheese slice. Enjoy with some juice or a piece of fruit. Alternately, I sometimes eat mine on low calorie bread, and Mike will enjoy an egg sammie on our gluten free bread found at Whole Foods.

Yogurt parfaits:

1/2 cup of fat free, plain European style yogurt
Desired amount of fruit (I use about 1.5 cups) Choose from banana, any kind of berries, peaches, nectarines, apples, grapes, plums, etc. Virtually any kind works well.
1 Tbsp of gluten free granola or other cereal for crunch

Egg scramble

1/2 cup of egg whites (or eggbeaters)
Any amount of veggies desired (I typically use whatever we have for leftovers - or a frozen mix of peppers and onions)
Turkey sausage leftovers or whatever meat I have handy
Low fat cheddar cheese

Pretty much just take whatever you have in your fridge that looks tasty and mix it up with some eggs and cheese. Add some ketchup and you are good to go.

French toast

1/2 cup of egg whites (or eggbeaters)
Tbsp of fat free milk
2 slices of gluten free bread (or regular if you don't mind gluten)
cinnamon
sugar or sugar alternative
tiny pinch of salt
tiny pinch of nutmeg
Fruit sliced for topping

Combine all the ingredients besides bread and mix. Add toast one at a time and coat both sides with egg mixture. Cook in a hot pan sprayed with Pam. Cover with chopped fruit or some low calorie syrup.
