I had a God Breeze last night/this morning! I wont bore you with the details, but I realized that I haven't been my own best friend...
Buffy- if you like eggs, South Beach had recipes for the little mini eggie muffins. Make ahead then pop in the freezer. Microwave for a little and they are portable when you are on the go...
This recipe is from Kalyn's Kitchen. She has the best south Beach blog...
This is the basic recipe, but you could go veggie with spinach and delete the meat.
EGG "MUFFINS"
(makes 12)
10-12 eggs
2 T fat free half and half
Salt, pepper, seasoning to taste
1 1/2- 2 cups diced meat: canadian bacon, ham, cooked turkey sausage or cooked veggie sausage
1 1/2- 2 cups grated low fat cheese ( like sharp cheddar or feta)
Optional, but highly recommended, 3 green onions diced small.
Preheat oven to 375. Use regular or silicone muffin pan, 12 muffin size. If using silicone pan, spray with nonstick spray. If using regular muffin pan, put two paper liners into each slot, then spray liner with nonstick spray.
In the bottom of the muffin cups layer diced meat, cheese and green onions. You want the muffin cups to be 3/4 full, with just enough room to pour a little egg around the other ingredients. Beat eggs well with the half and half (you could use milk). Pour egg into each muffin cup until it is full to the brim, nearly overflowing. Bake 25-30 minutes until muffins have risen above the rim of the muffin cups and are slightly browned and set.
These freeze well. For best results, thaw in refrigerator before microwaving. Wrap them in a paper towel when reheating in microwave to soak up some of the liquid that is sometimes released.
