What does everyone eat for breakfast that's different? I really get tired of eggs, bacon, or ham. I'm looking for EASY and QUICK ideas, since I'm not very wide awake in the morning.

Spinach salad with half a can of salmon, one hard-cooked egg and half an avocado?

Cold beef with cucumbers and blue cheese dressing?

Cold salmon burgers with mayonnaise?

Two black coffees and four cigarettes?

And now, I will break my own rule--and what I nag everyone else about --by posting a recipe and not putting it in the recipe section.

Faux Granola

3 cups flax seeds
1/2 cup sugar free syrup--maple, French vanilla etc.
1 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Stir all the ingredients together until thoroughly coated with syrup. Spread over a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake 5 minutes at 300, stir, bake 5-10 minutes longer until lightly toasted. Loosen from the pan. Cool and store in the fridge. You can add other stuff to this too, coconut, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, etc.

Makes 4 cups

Total Carbs: 200.72
Carbs-Fiber: 94.27
Carbs-Fiber per Tbsp.: 1.47

2 coffees and 4 cigarettes. lol!!. a friend of mine says that's what her mom called a whore's breakfast. we always have a laugh about that.
teena, i love extra firm tofu. i just slice it, season it and heat it in the microwave for 2 minutes. i eat it with a couple of tablespoons of mayo. i eat this every morning and sometimes for lunch or supper. it's so fast and so good!

Smile Yummy, Karen!

Your granola recipie sounds good! For a few more carbs, you could add some wheat bran, which would also give it a 'flakey' texture. I'm thinking that as well as breakfast, it would taste good sprinkled over ice cream or pudding, or used as a topping for muffins, etc.

Who says this diet has to be boring?

Smile brekkie

1/2 cup 4% cottage cheese - 4 gm carbs
or 1/2 cup full fat ricotta - 3.8 gm carbs
PLUS
1/2 cup sliced strawberries - 5.2 carbs minus 1.7 gm fiber
or 1/2 cup raspberries - 7.1 carbs minus 4.0 gm fiber
or 1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds - 6.5 carbs minus 3.5 gm fiber
or 1/2 fresh tomato, seeded and diced - 2.9 carbs minus 0.8 gm fiber
or 1/2 cup shredded raw carrot - 5.6 carbs minus 1.7 gm fiber
PLUS
packet of Splenda or Sugar Twin - 1 or 0.5 carbs

totals for any combination = 8 carbs or less

Or make a batch of Atkins Revolution rolls (I must remember to post my version in the recipe section). Each roll is about 1.5 carbs. Split in half and spread with a little soft butter. Sprinkle with Splenda or brown SugarTwin and LOTS of cinnamon. Brown under the broiler or toaster oven. Watch 'em, cause they'll burn fast! Spread while hot with soft cream cheese. Pretty close to a Cinammon Danish.

Enjoy!
Doreen

Hi Karen,

The link points to a members-only directory. What's in it? I know I can sign up, but I got more groups than I can handle

It's a low-carb recipe newsgroup that sends out recipes once a week. I can cut-and-paste the whole thing here if anyone is interested.

Thanks everyone, for the ideas. Don't think I'll be using the two black coffees and four cigarettes though, Karen.

Doreen, did you post your recipe for Atkins Revolution rolls?

Yes, finally. I had to dig around to find it, since I'd originally posted it in this very forum way back in November. I've added it to the Recipe Section of the main website. Two ways to get to it :happy baking!

Hi Teena - This is the first time on line since I joined but I have a good breakfast idea. For Quick and Easy - I definatley eat. Hardboiled eggs everymorning. BUT, on the weekends I do Lox with onion, tomato, creamcheese and lettuce. It tastes better without the bagel!!

Default breakfast quiche

I like to make a crustless quiche. You can use any recipe and put in whatever you like to have in it, pile on the cheese, (make sure to use heavy cream instead of milk if your recipes call for milk) -- it's quick to warm up for breakfast, or even a quick lunch or snack. Lasts me all week!

Default pancakes!!!

pancakes, pancakes, pancakes!!!!!

No need to call Security. I'll settle down now. It's just that after three and a half weeks, I'm finally feeling brave enough to start experimenting with recipes. Got some soy flour and used a recipe in the back of Atkin's NDR book. OK... the soy flour takes a little getting used to.

But when all you've been eating is meat and vegetables, and you've been having dreams of dancing croissants and singing Krispy Kremes, and baton-twirling slices of country potato bread.... Something that resembles a grain can be a welcome relief. Besides, slather enough butter and Log Cabin sugar free syrup on it and I dare you to taste the difference between that and Bisquick.

so... PANCAKES FOR BREAKFAST. Bacon and pancakes. My favorite breakfast... Oh... I promised to be quiet didn't I.... sorry... shhhhhh... I'm going now....

Lightbulb soy flour

hi Amanda ..

You're right, soy flour is rather strong tasting. I've found that if you "toast" the flour a bit before using, it gives a nice flavour, and kills the "beany-ness".

Don't toast a lot at once, just what you think you might use within a week or so. Use a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Keep stirring. The second it looks like its getting a wee bit brown, take it off the heat (it will continue to toast a bit even afterward). Let it cool before using in your recipe. You can save any leftover in a tightly covered container in the fridge for about a week.

Oh, and the soy flour itself is best kept airtight in the fridge too.

The pancakes do make a nice change, don't they?? Enjoy.

Doreen
