Breakfast Ideas

[Ronky]

Hi All,

I have been having issues with youghart. I get really bad eczema and youghart flares it up beyond repair. I thought I would give it a go one last time but no. So I have been looking at different breakfast ideas and thought I would share.

Breakfast "muffins"
riccotta
mozzerella
mushies
asparagus
grated zucchini
salt and papper

Put aside some mozzerella combine all ingredients and press into a lined muffin tin. Sprinkle half a crushed cracker biscuit and top with left over mozzerella. Bake at 180 for about 20mins or until top is brown.

This is great to take to work and heat up. Very easy. I have it with the remaing half cracker biscuit plus another if Im feeling hungry.

I have made this today with cottage cheese for the rest of the week so I will let you know how they taste.

If anyone has any other breakfast ideas that dont involve youghart please share.

Good Luck

I like the boiled egg with fresh tomato as well...

Other things i have (cos i am not really a yoghurt fan) are:

- Scrambled egg with tomato, onion and mushroom.

- "Fried egg on toast" - fried egg (using a good non-stick pan and of the oil spray) on cracker and i have that with my allowance of chopped tomato or cucumber to make sure i get the veg in.

- "Cheese on toast" - ricotta, mozzarella, cracker. Spread cracker with the ricotta and top with some grated mozza and stick under the grill for a few minutes. (make sure that the cracker is completely covered with cheese so it doesnt burn). You can also put a bit of tomato on it and sprinkle with oregano if you want to jazz it up a bit.

Hey Ronky..

try playing with this recipe.. it's one of mine & still not 100% perfected but still tastes damn good

I also love grating zuccini in a beaten egg with half a shell of water & cracked black pepper, frying it like an omlette or pancake, which ever you prefer to imagine it as

A lightly fried egg with sliced fried tomato, black pepper & mayo allowance on the egg is quite yummy.. and my daughter loves making her boiled egg into curried egg.. a little sweetener, curry powder, pepper & mayo all smooshed together & served on a bed of lettuce.. She also loves fried egg served on saladas which is pretty yummo too.

PS.. remember Ronky we cant have cheese more than 3 times a week (in case you forgot )

Thanks ladies. I will have to try some of these suggestions.

Thanks Faithy I was concerned about the too much cheese thing but the clinic said it shoudl be fine since I wont be eating any youghart so long as I keep it light and only have it once a day. I have also completely sacrificed feta which is going to taste fantastic when I have it again!!

Hi Ronky
hubby did this one for me - soak a rice cake in a seasoned whisked egg (have to let it sit for a while in the fridge to soak up) pan fry and top with mushroom and spinich - or veg of choice. My favourite is a rice cake topped with seasoned tomato then mozzarella and sprinkled with capsicum under the grill. The kids call this my breakfast pizza!! Good luck

That's interesting Ronky & I have to admit that surprises me.. the reason we shouldn't have cheese more than 3 times a week is because of the high salt content in cheese.. which yoghurt doesn't have..

Many people have tried having cheese more often than mentioned in their programs & at first hasn't had too much of an impact, but later on it does.. it can slow down weight loss & can cause fluid retention..

I would be more inclined to follow what your program says.. stick to cheese no more than 3 times per week & the other mornings I would go with the egg option..

Anyway, I hope you have found some interesting ideas.. doesn't hurt to play around a little to make things more interesting..
