Spicy scramble

Spicy Scramble!

 

Eggs have become my best friend for breakfast. They are so quick to make and you can throw just about anything in them and they turn out to be so yummy! For this, I made 4 servings which are perfect for my sleeve. The serving pictured above is two servings. Here's what you need:

• Three eggs (mix in a bowl)
• Red bell pepper, diced
• Green bell pepper, diced
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• Pepper Jack Cheese (I used two thin slices of Sargento cut into pieces)
• One jalapeno, cut into rings
• 1/4c diced green onion
• Cilantro, diced
• Olive Oil
• Salt, Pepper, and Garlic salt to taste

In a pan, I added the olive oil with the bell peppers and jalapeno until they were almost fully cooked. Then I added the spinach and cooked until wilted, added garlic salt. I then stirred in the remaining ingredients until the eggs were cooked how I like them.

I did top mine with avocado as well. The only things not included in the nutrition facts are the avocado and the olive oil.

If you don't want it too spicy, omit or use less jalapeno.

Taking Ownership

After having a mental breakdown a few nights ago, I've decided no more. Yeah...my last few blog posts have said that, but after stepping on the scale today for the first time in months, I have to be real. It's time to get healthy again.

Today is a new day.

Breakfast:

-Starbucks K-cup Vanilla Coffee, Great Value Vanilla Creamer, splenda
-2 Eggs scrambled with zuchinni

Another Breakfast "cupcake"

Muffin pans are the best thing in portion control in my opinion. They provide the right serving of food (I just hate cleaning the pan...but that's what my husband is there for! haha, thank God he doesn't mind!)

What you need:

-Frozen shredded potatoes
-6 eggs
-6 pieces of bacon, cooked
-Shredded Cheese of choice

Set oven to 375. Spray your pan with non stick spray.

Place a scoop full of hashbrowns into each muffin. Cook for about 15 minutes or until you see them turning brown.

Meanwhile, cook your bacon if it's not already cooked. Scramble your eggs in a bowl with salt and pepper.

Remove the hashed browns from oven, spoon egg on top of each muffin. Crumble or break the bacon into pieces, and put it on top of the eggs. Top with a small serving of cheese on top. Cook for another 10-15 minutes, depending on how done you like your eggs.

Another idea: You can put one whole egg cracked into each muffin and cook them that was as well, but this will double your egg count for the recipe.

Fajita Spam Mini Quiches

This recipe is for 16 servings. I use my mini loaf pan for this recipe, which has 8 loaves, and I cut them in half to portion the servings.

Each serving has only 84 calories!

What you need:

• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 3/4c white onion diced
• 3 or 4 garlic cloves, diced
• 1/4c chopped green onion
• 1 can diced green chilies
• 1/2c reduced fat shredded cheese of your choice (I used great value fiesta blend)
• 1 can of turkey spam, diced
• 8 large eggs
• Salt
• Pepper
• Olive oil

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large frying pan, put a small amount of olive oil. Add in your green & red bell peppers, and onion. Cook until onion is translucent. Add garlic and green onions, cooking for about one minute, not over cooking.

In a large mixing bowl, scramble the eggs, add salt and pepper to taste. Add the diced chilies and cheese, mix. Add the bell pepper and onion mixture to the eggs.

You can then either cook your spam in the same pan, or add it uncooked to your egg mixture. I prefer to brown mine a little, it gives it a better taste, but this is optional.

Spray your pan with non stick cooking spray. If you do not have the same pan as me, you can use a muffin pan or a baking dish, just measure your portions if you want to match my calorie count.

Cook for 30 minutes. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan. Enjoy!

**I save my leftovers in the freezer to bring to work to eat on my break since I do not have time to cook in the mornings that I work!**
