    How simple are you wanting your recipes? I've been on this kick every morning for the past week or so:

    1 Cage-Free egg scrambled with a dash of milk
    2 Kroger pre-cooked turkey sausage links
    1/2 cup fresh blackberries
    1 slice whole wheat toast
    Coffee :-)


    The sausage links come in prepackaged 2 link packs that simply take 45 seconds in the microwave to cook. My egg takes maybe 3 minutes to scramble and of course the toast and washing of blackberries takes minimal time too. I have a hot breakfast full of protein with fiber added in in less than 10 minutes!!

    I alternate between the above, cereal and fruit, or yogurt and nuts. Occasionally I have a monster craving for a McDonald's Egg McMuffin but try to keep those to one a month :)

    Happy Eating!

    2 Cage Free Omega-3 eggs
    You can add veggies, meat, cheese whatever you like
    Dash(s) of Hot Sauce
    Pinch of:
    Garlic Powder
    Salt
    Pepper
    Non stick cooking spray or enough butter to coat the bottom of a small frying pan

    Whisk it all up for about 1-2 minutes and pour it into the Frying pan or Omelet pan if you have one. Cook it on medium heat for a couple of minutes covered. Flip and add your stuffing. Let cook one more minute and then fold it over and put it on a plate.

    Not my Prettiest Omelet but it tastes good. Sometimes i will steam some steamed asparagus to it if i have the time.

    here's another one that i make ahead of time.

    Quaker Steel Cut oats

    Just follow the recipe on the back. I add water, though you could add milk if you wanted to.

    Just before it is done i will throw a carton of blue berries in it, or raisins, or whatever fruit you like. I also add cinnamon to taste. One full cup of oatmeal with last me about 4 days. Just wake up, pop it in the microwave and bam, you've got breakfast.

    I know it is processed, but if you are a bacon lover, the butterball everday light and crispy turkey bacon is only 30 calories for 2 slices.....crumbled up in eggs with veggies it's awesome! Plus you can freeze it and it's easy to thaw in the sink in some water....
    PS, the sodium is less than regular bacon too.

    Here is a favorite of mine from WeightWatchers.
    Ingredients
    6 slice(s) uncooked turkey bacon, sliced crosswise into 1⁄4-inch strips
    2 cup(s) uncooked broccoli, frozen, chopped
    1 small uncooked red onion(s), chopped
    1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
    2 tsp Italian seasoning
    2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
    1 cup(s) buttermilk
    3 large egg(s)
    3 large egg white(s)
    4 Tbsp (grated) parmesan cheese, freshly grated
    1/2 tsp table salt
    1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

    Instructions
    Place the oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat the oven to 350ºF. Heavily spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.


    Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium heat. Add the bacon and sauté until crispy, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.


    Return the skillet to the heat. Add the broccoli, onion, garlic, and Italian seasoning; cook until the vegetables are just tender, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the flour and the cooked bacon. Set aside to cool.


    Whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, egg whites, cheese, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until blended. Stir in the cooled vegetable mixture, then spoon evenly into the muffin cups. Bake until set in the center, about 20 minutes. To remove, run a narrow rubber spatula or knife around the edge of each muffin cup. Yields 3 mini egg cups per serving.

    My standard is half a whole wheat bagel thin toasted topped with Jif natural peanut butter (when I run out though I am gonna make my own peanut butter ---just ground peanuts).

    When I really want to go crazy, I make french toast with a slice of whole wheat bread dipped in one organic cage-free egg and topped with sugar-free or actual maple syrup

    Bircher Muesli is delicious and you can make a weeks worth at once and just serve up a portion per day.

    http://health.ninemsn.com.au/dietandnutrition/recipes/693723/bircher-muesli

    I toast the slivered almonds and some shredded coconut and keep aside until serving so that it has a nice crunch.

    I just ate cottage cheese(80cal/.5 cup) with sugar free strawberry preserves (only 10 cal/tbsp). It tastes really good, it would be perfect for breakfast.

    I have to say, good old fashioned instant oatmeal - the Quaker hearty oatmeal packets, and I toast two slices of 35 calorie bread, and use the 'I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!" spray. All together, it totals just under 250 calories, and will sustain you throughout your morning. You can always add an apple or orange, and you're golden! :-)

    I love McDonald's Oatmeal, so I started making my own healthier version at home.

    Quaker steal cut oats made with 2% milk.
    Add 1/8 cup each of raisins, and diced apples, 2tbs craisins and a dash of your favorite cinnamon, low calorie syrup or brown sugar.
    Actually with good home cooked oatmeal you can add pretty much any fruit and it'll be a fairly high protein and fiber breakfast under 300 calories. filling too.

    A dietician told me once that I should not buy raisin bran as the raisins are dredged in sugar.
