Breakfast

Ever since being diagnosed with diabetes, I’ve steered away from baking, which was something I did a lot of pre-diabetes.  When Hannah was little that was one of our favorite things to do on the weekends.  I have vivid memories of her standing on a stool, with an apron on, and me standing behind her trying to help her use the hand mixer.  I routinely...

I had to use up my whole wheat bread I made over the weekend – with no preservatives, it goes pretty quick.  So I decided to make a breakfast bread pudding! 2 cups egg whites 2 large eggs 2 ounces shredded cheddar cheese 4 ounces diced whole wheat bread 1 cup baby spinach 1 ounce deli ham, chopped salt and pepper Mix everything together: Morning...

I got the inspiration for tonight’s dinner at Heather site: GirliChef!  Since I knew I would have half of a beef brisket leftover from our homemade burger lunch, this really worked well.  So I spent $17 on the brisket, but that was lunch for 4 and dinner for 3, and leftovers for the dog!  I had a great grocery shop too – $86 this week!...

I love when there is leftover steak, because that means I get to fix a steak omelet!  I diced up 2 ounces of steak and just heated it up just enough to get the chill of the fridge off – I still want it pretty rare.

Last night I made black rice, but my camera battery died before I could take a picture!  It’s jet black in the bag, but turns to a purple after its cooked – we all liked it and it reminded us of wild rice with the nuttiness. I had two ounces left over so I decided to base my breakfast on that!  2 ounces cooked black...

I can’t get over the feeling that its not Saturday!   Gotta love three day weekends! 😀 I decided on making on omelet, and I let me cheese choice at the farmers market dictate what I was going to make.  When I looked in the fridge I realized that I had leftover taco meat, so that, mixed with some of the cheese, became my stuffing.  Oh,...

I did a quick google search last night for “Phase I breakfast ideas” and one of the first ones to pop up was a souffle!  I’ve never made a souffle, let alone tasted one, but I knew I had some goat cheese and eggs so I gave it a try! 1.25 ounces goat cheese (mine just happened to be four pepper flavor) 1 tablespoon fat free mayo...

No, I didn’t have bread, but I baked my breakfast in a new mini bread pan my Mom found for me at a garage sale. 1 cup egg beaters 1 cup egg white 3 ounces chopped lean deli ham 2 ounces chopped baby spinach 2 ounce Mexican cheese blend Each loaf comes in at 76 calories, 1.9 fat, 11 protein, 2.5 carbs and .6 fiber. ...

I had a taste for pancakes today, and since Tony and I are going to start South Beach tomorrow, I figured it was now or never! Fluffy Pancakes 2 cups flour 2 tablespoons baking powder 3 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 3/4 cup skim milk 2 eggs, beat separatedly before ading to mixture 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) melted butter Mix dry ingredients first.  Mix...

Tony loves me, he really loves me! This weighed in at 4.3 ounces, so I decided to make it a half egg sammie – 1/2 bagel, 1 fried egg, 1/2 ounce swiss cheese Breakfast comes in at 310 calories, 15 fat and 23 fiber. I have to get going – Hannah and I have some garage saling (sp?) to do before she has to work,...
