Breakfast / Snack Ideas

[tiggergramma 129]

A nutritionist I saw years ago was trying to teach me to eat Breakfast and her recommendation was to put a chicken dinner in the crockpot overnight...by morning I had been smelling it for hours and was hungry. The Protein was the best thing to eat to keep me satisfied until lunchtime. I will sometimes have oatmeal in the morning, but more often than not, I will have whatever meat and veg I have leftover from dinner the night before.

Good luck with whatever you end up trying!

I made mini quiche on muffin tins and froze them. I then pull them out of the freezer and nuke it. It is quick and easy for on the go and super filling.

Making them with spinach adds to the chewing but mushrooms or asparagus tips would work too.

12 eggs

1/2 c ff shredded cheese ( like WW brand)

4 c chopped spinach (cooked and drained well)

1/3 c sautéed onions or raw chives

1/2 c. Shredded chicken or turkey sausage pre cooked and drained

1/3 c. Ff ricotta cheese

Dash of nutmeg

Salt if desired (if you salt the veggies first no need to add extra

Beat eggs well' date=' add other ingredients

Fill 12 muffin tins equally. ( make sure you spray them with Pam spray first!)

Bake at 375 for 20-25 min or until center is not soft (toothpick test)

Top with a small amount of shredded cheese when fresh out of the oven if desired.
