Breakfast

I don’t know about you, but when its icky outside, I want to bake.  It’s been tough these past two weeks not to make my artisan bread in 5 minutes, or my chili stuffed baked potatoes.   Since I stocked up on canned pumpkin at Aldi the last time I was there, I decided to make pumpkin scones. Thanks to Tastespotting, I found just what I...

I had planned on making soup with the leftover roast we had over the weekend.  Have I mentioned that Tony doesn’t usually do leftovers? I think meatloaf, cold pizza and fried chicken are the three things he’ll eat leftover.  So I had leftover roast and I decided to make a soup with it. Only one problem, I forgot to make it!  But I had an...

We had an absolutely beautiful morning for our Altzheimer’s Walk! It was a wonderful way to start the day! Over the summer I bought a baked donut pan.  It quickly got lost in my sea of kitchen accessories, but I saw it the other day and since it was a rainy, dark morning yesterday, decided to give it a try. I wasn’t exactly sure how...

After Tony’s huevos rancheros, pretty sure I could have a Mexican type breakfast every morning!  Yesterday it was a low carb wrap, the queso chipotle laughing cow cheese, black beans, egg beaters, yellow and red pepper with a bit of avocado.  Truth be told, I didn’t really taste the chipotle cheese, maybe because my black beans were seasoned?  I need to try it by itself...

When my parents-in-law were in town last week, my MIL Bonnie brought up her famous banana bread and pumpkin bread.  My step-son goes apeshit over this bread.  Of course, since he wasn’t here, we had to text him to tell him how amazing and delicious the bread is! Whenever I make banana bread, it never puffs up and hers is so tall.  I asked her...

Yep, I think I am the queen of the crustless quiche!  This one is made with egg beaters, egg whites and cottage cheese! Broccoli and Turkey Sausage Quiche Recipe Makes 4 servings (200 calories, 7.7 fat, 5.7 carbs, 1.1 fiber and 27 protein) Ingredients 1 cup egg substitute 1 cup egg whites 1 cup cottage cheese 3 turkey sausage links 1/4 cup reduced fat cheddar...

When figuring out what to make for breakfast yesterday, since I was up so early, I had time to make quiche!  I quickly discovered that I had broccoli that was on its last legs, and some Jimmy Dean sausage leftover from Easter that needed to be used up, as well as buttermilk – so quiche it was! I love crustless quiche.   Who needs the extra...

Another cookbook I got at a thrift store recently was Cooking Lights Annual Recipes from 2004.  Is it sad that I read cookbooks like an actual fiction novel? 😀 I adapted one of their recipes for my breakfast yesterday.  It took all of about 5 minutes to put it together and it baked while I blogged yesterday morning.  I knew I was going to share...

Yesterday’s breakfast was so simple and good – it baked in the oven while I was getting ready for work. In the bottom of a 4 inch ramekin, I layered one ounce of cut deli ham, one cup of baby spinach, 1/2 cup of egg whites and then put a slice of pepper jack cheese on top.  I baked it at 350 for 20 minutes...

I hope you have a full cup of coffee before starting to read this monster post – although it will mostly be pictures! I am glad everyone was so concerned over my not having pizza Friday night.  Don’t worry – I took care of that as soon as I woke up Saturday morning! I love the yolk like that – not runny, but slightly tender...
