What's for breakfast?

My favorite breakfast is a spinach egg scramble. Cook chopped bell peppers, onions and fresh baby spinach in skillet sprayed with a shot of oil. (Pam olive oil). Add two beaten eggs. Stir until eggs are cooked. Plate and top with shredded and salsa. Calories: 256; Carbs: 6, Sodium: 443; Fat: 14; Protein: 21; Fiber: 1.

Add bacon and/or fruit. I use the frozen mix of bell peppers and onions for convenience. Sometimes I layer the egg mixture and the shredded cheese in a bowl and top with salsa. Sometime I layer a little cream cheese instead of using shredded cheese - an add some avocado. Sometimes I mix ground flaxseed or chia seeds to add some fiber. If I don't have fresh spinach - I grab whatever veggies I do have. Other salad greens, broccoli. I like my green eggs!

The spinach egg scramble is pretty quick and easy to make. But - if I don't feel like cooking.... I keep those precooked Jimmy Dean maple turkey sausage patties. (40 seconds in microwave) I also keep hard boiled eggs. So I place 2 heated sausage patties on a plate. Place 1/2 American cheese slice on top of each patty. Slice the hard boiled egg. Add fruit and call it breakfast.

I usually start with a glass of lemon water (juice from 1/2 lemon, 8 oz of warm water) through a straw and do not eat anything for 15 minutes after. Then a monomeal of fruit allows for proper digestion and an energy kickstart.

On weekends, I love making eggs different ways. I like scrambled with salsa. I also loooove avocado stuffed deviled eggs - let me know if you want the recipe. Also, ezekiel bread with slices of tomato and avocado seasoned with lemon, salt, pepper, and cilantro is fantastic.
