Breakfast, Healthy and Happy!
Sunday breakfast! It's a great alternative to fast food... Try to cook your own breakfast at home so you know exactly what's in it and it's much more healthful! Get up an extra 30 minutes early each day, which shouldn't be hard if you're going to be on time :-) And make yourself (and your loved ones) a breakfast that will jumpstart their day in a good way!!!
Excuse the blurry picture!
Here's how-- makes two servings.
First, I start with boiling one whole, skinned russet potato in salted water. Boil just until fork tender, but still firm (This is a great, healthy alternative to fried potatoes, hash browns, etc.) Next I put 1 teaspoon of butter and one sliced garlic clove in a saucepan and simmer over medium heat... add 3 cups of baby spinach leaves- washed, drained, and slightly damp- to the garlic and butter and let it cook through... it will reduce dramatically! Next mix up two whole eggs, and three egg whites in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper and a teaspoon of heavy cream (Remember: One whole egg is all the cholestrol you need for one entire day... so adding egg whites helps you get a fuller meal without the added cholestrol). Whisk together until blended thoroughly... Scramble up in a saucepan with 1 teaspoon butter. While everything cooks, whisk up 1/4 cup heavy cream with some salt and pepper and pour it over the potatoes, toss to coat. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until bubbly and foam-y. Done! Slice up a kiwi or some other fruit you have on hand, and serve... It's about 20 minutes and it's super yummy and filling! And only 451 calories and 16g of fat! Compare that at fast food, Mc Donald's - Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit (Regular Size), 5.7 ounces 510 calories, 33g of fat. Wow and that's not even counting the sodas and hash browns!!!
Enjoy.
