Anyone have suggestions for low-carb alternatives for breakfast? I typically do (1) egg & egg-whites with a side of turkey-bacon, but the eggs can get a little old. I'd love to hear any ideas on other options...
Thanks!
Thanks!

I found this website with some great low carb recipes on it. One thing I like is that the woman rates the recipes according to how well she liked them, you know, 3 stars, 4 stars, etc. I haven't tried all of the recipes yet, but there are enough there that I have something to look forward to. One that I tried that I did like was a mock danish you make with cream cheese and eggs. She has a pancake recipe that she gave 5 stars to! I also didn't want recipes with a bunch of weird or hard to find ingredients and so far the most unusual ingredient is flax meal. She has muffin recipes and a lot of quiches recipes. If you are interested, the website is http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/recipes.html and is called Linda's Low Carb Menus and Recipes. Hope you find something you like!0

Ditto! Thanks for the link!
I found so many good looking options and didn't see the stars at first. But that will help narrow down the choices in the beginning.
Nice find!!!!0 -

I JUST saved that recipe the other day! I'm excited to make it. It's now been moved to the top of the groceries list!!0 -
Actually I tend to get sick of eggs real quick if that's all I eat so I try and change it up too. Although right now I'm partial to them, mostly bc I found a super yummy Breakfast Casserole. I know you said no eggs but you gotta try it! I make a big pan of it and keep a couple slices at work and freeze the rest for the following week.
grease a 9x13 dish (I use 9x9 bc I like it denser)
layer on bottom 2 lbs of crumbled cooked sausage (turkey/pork/full fat...whichever but I use the yummy pork!)
1 block of crumbled softened cream cheese
1/4 of a chopped onion
jalepenos, chopped (altho I do mushrooms, I like veggies)
both sprinkled over sausage/cream cheese
12-15 beaten eggs with S&P to season-pour this over the whole dish evenly
cover everything with 1 cup of shredded cheese
bake, uncovered, at 350F for 30-35 mins. 9x9 pan gives me 6 hardy slices at about 2 net carbs each (w/o my mushrooms though). This freezes well and reheats well. Delish AND super filling!
I also saved a recipe, I think from Linda's...for LC "cream of Wheat" made with ricotta. Haven't tried it yet but will be soon. I also migh make some LC muffins too for the days I do a lot of strength training when I can afford a few extra carbs.0 -
Linda's recipe site is great. I have several that I use over and over. As far as breakfast, I routinely have non-traditional breakfast. It can be leftover dinner from the night before, deli meats rolled in cheese and mayo, even salad. Weird, I know. There's no rule that says breakfast has to be eggs!0

I have a couple of none egg breakfast favorites that I thought I'd share.
Minute muffin french toast. This is one of my favorites. I make the minute muffin in a small square dish. Cut it in half so you have to bread slice size pieces. Usually I just make half and save the other half for tomorrow's breakfast. I dip the slice in 1 egg and 1-2 TB of almond milk. Fry in butter and serve with SF syrup.
I use the second slice the next day to make "cereal". I crumble it up in a bowl, add 2 strawberries cut up, pour almond milk over it with a sprinkle of Splenda. Yummy.
I also make another "cereal" using 1 Dannon Light & Fit Carb Control Yogurt. 1t sunflower seeds, 1t chopped pecans, 1t milled flax seed, 2 strawberries.
Pancakes using the http://lowcarbdiets.about.com recipe with almond flour. I use almond milk instead of water and serve with SF syrup.
I know I said no eggs but I thought I'd throw this in for good measure. My version of an Egg McMuffin. Make the minute muffin without cinnamon and slice in half. Fry 1 egg and break yoke , fry1 slice of ham at the same time (I fold it into fourths). 1 slice American cheese, melt half on ham and half on egg. Put between the two slices of minute muffin.
I love breakfast and am always looking for interesting ideas.0 -
-I make a psyllium husk bread that I then use to make PB & J sandwichs, french toast, toast, breakfast sandwiches.
Recipe:
1 1/4 cup almond flour 1/4 cup unflavored protein powder, 5 tbsp psyllium husk, 1/2 shredded cheese(I used a Mexican taco blend), 2 tsp baking powder, pinch of salt, 2 eggs, 2/3 cup boiling water. Mix all ingredients except the eggs and water. Then add eggs, mix. Then add boiling water and mix until thick batter forms (this takes me about 3 min of mixing) then shape into balls and place onto greased cookie sheet, flatten them out, bake at 375 for 18-20min or until edges are golden brown. *just a tip, when you form the dough balls, have a little bowl with oil to coat your hands in, since the dough is very sticky and hard to form without the oil
-I also saw a cream cheese pancake recipe:
Ingredients:
2 oz cream cheese
2 eggs
1 packet stevia (or any) sweetener
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Put all ingredients in a blender or magic bullet. Blend until smooth. Let rest for 2 minutes so the bubbles can settle. Pour 1/4 of the batter into a hot pan greased with butter or pam spray. Cook for 2 minutes until golden, flip and cook 1 minute on the other side. Repeat with the rest of the batter. Serve with sugar free syrup (or any syrup of your choice) and fresh berries.

-I also use carbquik from time to time to make their waffles or pancakes, with the recipe right out of the box with whipped cream and frozen berries on top
-If I'm in a rush, I heat up leftovers from dinner, or grab a meatball, cheese, pepperoni, avocado 0
