Sami_Rae Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 We are on day two of our Whole30. I am looking for ideas for meal one that can be made the night before, that also taste good reheated. I am a fan of eggs in the morning and they taste okay, but when I cook veggies in with them---they tend to be soggy. YUCK. We have an early start to our work days and I am often on-call and have to plan ahead to be sure I don't skip any meals. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted March 17, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 17, 2015 I eat cold sauerkraut along with eggs almost every morning. Good sauerkraut from Bubbies or Farmhouse Culture is a whole 'nother world from sauerkraut you may have had back in the day. I normally scramble eggs, but another alternative is boiled eggs. You could even peel them in advance and have a super quick cold breakfast with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sami_Rae Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 I do love sauerkraut! Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlaccini Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 What you could do - is make a large egg "casserole" or frittata and then eat it throughout the week. Just make sure you use enough eggs and protein. My daily breakfast (which is ready in 15 minutes or less) is the following on the weekend (or the night before) chop up an onion and sauté it. Then take a pound of ground meat (it can be any meat really) and season it well as it's browning. Put it in in a storage container. Cube a sweet potato or regular potato, cook it in fat of choice and also season well - go to seasoning for me is salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary and sometimes paprika. Put it also in a storage container. Make sure you have some large handfuls of greens on hand - my preference is spinach, but I have used kale and mustard greens too. The next morning....... Put some fat into a fry pan - put a large handful portion of cooked ground meat in the pan - let it sizzle. Then add a handful of the cubed potato. Combine it a bit more. Add large handfuls of spinach. cook until wilted. Meanwhile whisk 2 or more eggs. Then add to the mixture - stir it around until all cooked and combined. I serve it with a large dollop of mayo.

That sounds wonderful. I think I'm going to start doing that. Maybe with some other root veggies in addition to potato. I've been developing a great fondness for beets and rutabaga.

Sami_Rae Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 That does sound good! I need to beat the "breakfast" type food mindset! Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlaccini Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I experimented with a lot of different breakfasts. This is the one that kind of stuck. I was a cereal girl for many, many, many, years. So obviously I like tried and true favourites. And this one is my favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina R Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I like soup for breakfast. This egg drop soup from Clara's Kitchen is so good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yREFkmrrYiw. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinSpin Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I love this for breakfast (and lunch and dinner!) I typically add bone broth to make the soup version and it is just yummy! http://halfindiancook.com/chicken-stir-fry/ I also use coconut aminos too instead of the tamari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My go-to breaksfast is very similiar to this except that I just shred a large sweet potato and throw it in a bowl in the fridge still in its raw state. In the morning I toss a handful of potato into the skillet with leftover protein (lately this has been shredded chicken) and then I add chopped (leftover) green beans, broccoli, or wilt down fresh greens. On mornings when I've failed to prep in advance, I'll shred my portion of sweet potato while my skillet is heating up which doesn't really add anything to the prep time. I also like having soup with my breakfast. The silky gingered zucchini soup from Well Fed 2 is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try it this week; I'm sure it will go into the "rotation." Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTNan Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I swore throughout the first three weeks of my whole 30 that the first things I was going to reintroduce were so I could eat BREAKFAST again (granola and milk or kefir). Well, I finished my whole 30 three weeks ago, but every morning I still eat: reheated sweet potato (I make as many as my crock pot will hold every weekend, just reheat weekday mornings) usually with ghee and cinnamon; a big pile of greens with fried eggs over the top; and rarely I add in a small piece of fruit. I used to hate over easy eggs, but something about those runny, warm yolks bathing the greens in creamy goodness... Well, it's enough to get me up early on the weekends just to eat!
