Think outside the box! Who made the rule that eggs and bagels are for breakfast and chicken is for lunch or dinner?? If dinner from last night sounds good, I'll have some for breakfast. Yes, I've had chili for breakfast! I've had ham sandwiches for breakfast. I've had a piece of pie for breakast. :happy:

I havent made them in a while...but fava beans and eggs. Awesome!!!!

However you spell it, it is pronounced 'fool.' It is middle eastern in origin. You rock out with some fava beans, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, tomatoes, and onions. You cook it down according to the recipe and you pack it away in the fridge. It will last for a couple of days. In the morning, you can take a small bowl of it, heat it up, and then top it with eggs or egg whiles, scrambled or fried. Filling, full of energy, and super delicious.

Also check out Jillian Michaels recipe for breakfast in a bowl. It is also really good and filling.

This sounds interesting.. and yummy! Will have to give it a try!

And your post just reminded me of something I used to make alot. It's a Southbeach diet recipe. Great for breakfast, b/c you can make on the weekend, and have ready at any time through the week. Can mix up veggies or add some ham as you like.


Veggie Mini Quiche

•3/4 cup liquid egg substitute or 3 large eggs or 3 /4 cup egg whites
•1 package frozen chopped spinach (10 oz.) or one large bunch fresh spinach
•3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheese
•1/4 cup diced red or green peppers or mixture of both
•1/4 cup diced onions
•Dash of hot pepper sauce
•Salt to taste - I like it salty and used a half teaspoon.


Preparation:
Makes 12 mini-quiches
Need: muffin tin, cooking spray, oven
1. Heat oven to 350F

2. Spray the muffin tin cups with the cooking spray. Be sure not to omit this step, or the quiches will stick badly to the baking cups. Another option is to use silicone muffin pans.

3. Thaw and drain spinach - I wring it out well in my hand, which eliminates a lot of the "spinachy" taste for those who hate boiled spinach. If using fresh spinach, steam it in the microwave, press out all juice, then chop.

4. Mix the spinach, eggs or egg substitute, cheese, peppers, onions, hot pepper sauce, salt in a bowl.

5. Fill the muffin tin cups with the mixture.

6. Bake at 350F or 20 minutes. You will know they are done when a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

7. Remove from cups to serve.

Fajita spice variation: Add fajita spice to taste at step 4 (a dash to 1/8 teaspoon). If you like it spicy, you may even want to add a bit of chopped jalapeno.

Ooohh.. this sounds perfect, like you said, to make on the weekend and just pop it in the fridge for the work week!

I'm not a breaksfast food type person, how about Ole' High Fiber wraps, heated with low fat mexican cheese, add black beans drained/rinsed, heat in a skillet, dip in rotels....one of my favs. It's a good way to add fiber and protein to your morning. You could add scrambled egg plus 2 egg whites for a breakfast burrito, it's quicker than it sounds, specially if you've got your beans in the fridge prepped, and rotels in a bowl, less than 4 minutes total.

Scrambled eggs that I make with as many vegtables as I can find. Such a great use for leftover veggies!!!!
