Breakfast

Who doesn't love omelette's? I love them! I think they are a fantastic way to start your morning and you really can cram a lot of stuff into an omelette. Want cheese? Put some in there! Want spinach? The more the merrier! Seriously it's so good. So here is a recipe that can help you out with them!

INGREDIENTS

Egg, fresh, 2 medium
*Kraft 2% Shredded Cheddar Cheese, 1/4 cup
*Canadian Bacon, 1 serving chopped
Onions, raw, 1 tbsp chopped
Green Peppers1 tbsp

DIRECTIONS

Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them.

Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc.

Add prepared ingredients to the bag and shake. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.

Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.

Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed.

I love beginning the day with a good hearty muffin. The best muffins are the ones you make yourself and come out of the oven warm and moist. I love putting a dab of butter on there so it melts right away. This recipe gives you a healthy muffin that you can have for breakfast or just on its own as a snack. It is packed with fruit and sweetness all around. Give this a try! You won't be disappointed.



INGREDIENTS

1 1/4 cups plain fat-free yogurt
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 egg whites
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup oat bran
1/4 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped dried fruit
1/2 cup cooked whole-grain triticale or brown rice

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Grease bottoms only of 12 regular-size muffin cups with shortening or place paper baking cup in each muffin cup.

2. In large bowl, beat yogurt, brown sugar, oil and egg whites with spoon. Stir in remaining ingredients except dried fruit and triticale just until flour is moistened. Fold in dried fruit and triticale. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (cups will be very full).

3. Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from pan.

As I sit here eating my breakfast which contains a bowl of Raisin Bran and a cup of coffee with Cappuccino mix in it, I think of all the amazing breakfast foods out there. When eating healthy you are by no means limited to having oatmeal all the time. This recipe is quick and seems that would be super filling with the eggs, cheese, beans, and such! Try it out!


INGREDIENTS

4 corn tortillas, lightly sprayed with cooking spray
4 eggs
1 avocado
3/4 cup fat free refried beans
1 cup Red Gold Diced "mexican fiesta"
tomatoes
1/2 cup 2% Shredded Cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS

Heat oven to 350 F.
Spray tortillas on both sides with cooking spray, or put a little olive oil on a paper towel and wipe a bit of olive oil on each side of the tortilla.
Put in oven for 5 minutes, spread with refried beans, then set aside.
Poach eggs in an inch or so of water..add a little white vinegar to the water(about 2 tbsp.). When the whites and the outside edges of the yolk are set, take them out of the water, let them drain a little, and set them on the tortillas that have been spread with beans.
Sprinkle each with some Cheddar cheese, and put in oven until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
Dice 1/2 of a medium sized avocado.
Take tortillas out of oven, garnish with avocado chunks and salsa.

Doesn't that sound all sorts of bad? That just makes you feel like you are not staying on plan by just reading the title! Well, with me anyway. I would love to wake up to having some chocolate covered strawberry oatmeal though! Sounds like a good way to start the day!

INGREDIENTS

- Quaker Old-Fashioned Oatmeal, Quick Cooking- .5 cup uncooked
- Frozen unsweetened chopped strawberries- 1 cup (about 140 grams frozen, or 6 berries)
- Aria Vanilla Protein Powder- 1 serving (2 scoops)
- Nesquick Sugar-Free Cocoa Powder- 2 Tablespoons
- Tap water- .5c

DIRECTIONS

1. In a microwave-safe bowl combine oatmeal, strawberries, and water.

2. Microwave for two minutes.

3. Stir in Aria Protein Powder and Nesquick Cocoa until well-blended. If necessary, add additional water to fully combine ingredients.

4. Return to microwave and cook until desired consistency is reached (I cooked for an additional 2 minutes because I like my oatmeal thick!)

There is a lot of bread baking going on in my house during this time so I am trying to find new recipes to do during it. Just to put my own into it. I found this recipe at Allrecipes.com which is a bread that utilizes Eggnog. Eggnog is a favorite holiday drink anywhere I think and putting it into a bread seems very interesting.


INGREDIENTS

2 eggs, beaten
1 cup eggnog
2 teaspoons rum flavored extract
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease bottom only of a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or three 3x5 inch loaf pans.

2. Blend together the eggs, eggnog, rum extract, sugar, vanilla and butter.

3. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Add to eggnog mixture and stir just enough to moisten; pour into prepared pan.

4. Bake bread in large pan for 40 to 60 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Breads baked in the smaller pans require 35 to 40 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes, and remove from pan. Cool completely, wrap tightly and store in refrigerator.
