Healthy Cooking by design

Protein for breakfast really keeps you full and satisfied for hours. And it is easier than you think to have it ready in the morning. One of my favorite ways is in casserole form. Eggs, skim milk, chopped fresh spinach, a little Parmesan or 2 percent sharp cheddar cheese, mild rotel, and a little chopped turkey bacon if you like. Bake it in an 8 x 8 casserole dish and now you have 6 large squares that are easy to warm up in the microwave all week. Another favorite is to make a scrambled egg mixture with a small amount of 2 percent cheddar cheese, onions, garlic, peppers, and chili powder. Put your southwest scramble into whole wheat tortillas, roll, and refrigerate or freeze. Very easy to warm up in the microwave.

Another thing we don’t often think about is how perfect that leftover piece of chicken or salmon is to start out our day. An adult pb & j is another great starter. I buy a natural peanut or almond butter and either mix it with some honey or use an all-fruit jam and put it on a whole grain bread, thin bun, or mini bagel.

Try starting your day with some protein and whole grains and see how your energy levels stay constant and how many hours you feel full and satisfied.
