A BALANCE Breakfast


Veggie Scramble with Salsa
Two Slices Turkey Bacon
Fresh Berry Garnish
Veggie Scramble Recipe:
  • 1 tsp chopped onion
  • 2 TBL chopped green pepper
  • 4 cherry or grape tomatoes halved
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp water
  • desired seasonings: pepper, sea salt, hot pepper sauce, etc...
  • 2 TBL medium or hot salsa (optional)
  • 1 tsp olive oil for cooking the veggies and eggs
Saute onion and green pepper on medium heat until soft, place tomatoes face down on skillet, warm. Scramble eggs in bowl, add a tsp of water, and seasonings. Add to other ingredients in warm skillet. Serve with salsa drizzled on top, turkey bacon and fresh berries as a garnish!


Beverage Ideas: herbal tea (iced or hot), mineral water with lemon or lime, hot tea with lemon, hot water with lemon, coffee (preferably decaf or half caf/half decaf)


Cooking Tip: Chop extra onion and green pepper the night before when you are making dinner (let's say you need these ingredients for your salad or entree). Save in the refrigerator in an airtight container. That will give you a headstart and cut down on the steps to make the veggie scramble the next morning.

Having done WW for the past 2 years, I had started eating Egg Beaters instead of real eggs because they were so low in fat and calories. (Heart disease is in my family history as well, so I'm always conscious of high fat foods)

And while I haven't eat this kind of breakfast in a while, it used to be one of my staples! I love turkey bacon! So thanks for the reminder. I will be adding this into my meal plan for the week. :-)
