    Here is a yummy breakfast sandwich. you can substitute hardboiled egg if you want to have some done in advanced. also you can put pita in a toaster.

    Sunrise Breakfast Sandwich
    Ingredients:
    ½ whole wheat pita, Cut so there are two equal circles
    2 cups, lightly packed arugula
    1 roma tomato
    1 egg (poached or over medium)
    2 tbsp balsamic vinaigrette
    Set oven to broil. Toast pita for 3-4 minutes until golden but not brittle. Either poach or pan fry one egg, careful to keep the yoke runny. In a bowl combine arugula and diced tomato, add vinaigrette and toss. Layer pita, salad mixture and egg on a plate and enjoy!

    this is a really delicious recipe that can be cooked on sunday and portioned out for a few days. makes enough for a family of four or five. I will also add a dolop of either fat free sour cream or fat free greek yogurt. Hope you like!

    Southwestern Chicken and Quinoa
    Serves 4
    3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
    1 can black beans, drained
    1 cup frozen corn
    1 pint fresh salsa
    2 ½ cups chicken stock
    1 cup dried quinoa
    Avocado and cilantro to garnish
    Squeeze of lime (optional)
    In a slow cooker or in a medium sauce pan add chicken, beans, corn, salsa and ½ c stock. Cook on low for 2 hr up to all day. Remove chicken and shred. While shredding, bring temperature up to medium and simmer sauce. In the meantime cook one cup of quinoa in remaining 2 cups of chicken stock. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. Add shredded chicken back to pot to heat through. In a bowl add 1/3 c quinoa, 1 1/3 c chicken mixture and top with ¼ diced avocado and 2 tbsp cilantro. Optional squeeze of lime.
    *** This dish can be made quickly as well, or made ahead of time and portioned throughout the week. Quinoa is a sprouted grain high in protein and has 8 essential amino acids which make it a complete protein. You can find quinoa at Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s. ***
