Breakfast recipies wanted!

Apple and Ricotta toast
1 slice of fruit toast
1 tbs ricotta
1/2 grated apple
sprinkle of cinnamon
Absolutely delish, and great is you are hanging for something sweet!

Usual breakfast is cup of coffee with milk, plus bread with jam. Sometimes a slice of cake instead or bread, if I had time to bake and the kids did not eat it all. In both cases, the total is around 200 calories.
Every now and then, I have greek yoghurt with fresh fruit and a bit of honey, or a bowl of cereal and milk. Both I think around 200 calories or lower.
When I have more time to prepare something, usually weekends, french toast. My favourite recipe is mainly egg, milk and a bit of flour, plus the bread of course, and then sliced strawberries and a bit of maple syrup on top. What is for me a feeling portion of this is somewhere between 200-300 calories.

There are so many options under 400. Some of my faves would be overnight oats, baked oatmeal, homemade muffins, scones, and waffles.

And my go to breakfast is:
2 large eggs (148 calories) scrambled with .25 oz chopped kale 4 + .5oz diced sweet bell pepper (5 calories) cooked in 1/2 tablespoon butter (50 calories) = 207
1 toasted slice Nature's Own 100% whole wheat bread 55 + 1 tbsp premium raspberry 75% fruit spread 35 = 90
TOTAL = 297
You can add fresh fruit of your choice to get closer to 400 calories.

I'm loving this frittata lately.
Chop and crisp 4 slices of center cut bacon, remove from pan
Cook 1/2 lb of shredded cabbage or brussels sprouts in the bacon grease
Whisk 4 eggs, 4 egg whites, 1/4 cup skim milk and salt and pepper
Mix all, pour in a parchment-lined pan, top with scallions, and bake at 400 for about 15 minutes until set.
4 servings, 140 calories each.


Breakfast burritos are always great to have on-hand in the freezer:
Sauté onion, pepper, mushroom, spinach. Chop 8 slices of turkey or center cut bacon, and crisp. Cook 8 scrambled eggs, and mix all cooled ingredients together. Lay out 8 large high fiber/low carb burritos (like La Tortilla Factory smart and delicious line or Ole Wellness High Fiber) – for gluten free, Aldi sells a 90 calorie GF tortilla. Divide mixture amongst 8 burritos, top each with ¼ cup of cheese of choice, and roll into burritos, folding in the sides. Lay seam side down on cookie sheet, and freeze. Once frozen, transfer to labeled freezer bag. To serve, microwave wrapped in damp paper towel for 2-3 minutes until thawed or microwave until thawed and crisp in a pan or under the broiler. Options: add in cooked potatoes, vegetables to taste, sun dried tomatoes, jalapenos, hot sauce, or any other preferred fillings. Can substitute 2 egg whites for each whole egg.

1 cup Stonyfield low fat French vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup Special K low fat granola
1/4 cup fresh raspberries or blueberries

Beans on Toast.

Heinz reduced salt and sugar beans, 1 slice of burgen bread.

Approx. 380 Calories, and nearly 25 grams of complete protein.

Sometimes the simplest ideas are often the best

Two egg whites and one whole egg, scrambled with a big ol' handful of spinach. Add mushrooms if you like.

This has been my 6 day a week, go-to breakfast. All that might change after tomorrow, when I try those egg and banana pancakes, though!!!
