stepharella Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 So I am on day 28. I am going to continue on but I am having trouble finding things to eat in the morning. I am a mom of 2 who keep me jumpin in the mornings so I don't have a lot of time and I use my leftovers for my lunches. I need something besides eggs!! Ideas??

Moluv Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I do a weekly cookup where I broil some chicken breasts and a flank steak or tri-tip then slice thin and place in a container in the fridge. I also bake a bunch of sweet potatoes and peel and place in jars. I also always have thawed and seasoned ground beef or meatballs made, washed and cut up veggies, jars of various cultured veggies, a huge salad, and homemade mayo. I could literally eat a meal standing at the refrigerator. I don't of course, but my point here is a little cold chicken dipped in mayo and a few bites of sweet potato is as fast as humanly possible and still follows the meal template. I have two little ones also and the weekly cookup has saved my sanity and my w30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I have been cooking ahead a couple of times a week to also have leftovers for breakfast. We have found a local German sausage that is compliant and I will cook the whole thing ahead of time. I also found Chicken apple sausages that are compliant and pro-cooked. I almost always have spinach at breakfast. I love mushrooms and asparagus in the morning or a leftover salad. I also started baking a few sweet potatoes ahead of time to add to some breakfasts. For the chicken sausage, I prepped a little diced apple and sweet potato the night before and cooked them in the toaster oven while I did dishes. While warming the sausage, I added mushroom and spinach to the mix. I thought I'd be having eggs, but I've had plenty of meat to heat, add veggies, and fat, and eat. Happily, I have had enough variety not to get bored. Oh, and my husband has been enjoying pre-cooked shrimp out of the freezer. They only take a couple of moments to reheat. He's also found a lot of canned meat and fish that he has been having at lunch and that frees even more leftovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I definitely second the mayo thing. It turns out that just about any protein and any crunchy green veggies (celery, cabbage, sugar, snap peas, baby spinach) make for a quick, yummy, and satisfying meal. The veggies can be prepared in advance or omitted if you have other veggies you want as a side. I also have avocado at breakfast. It does require a quick slice, but it is quick, tasty, and satisfying. And, the avocado mayo pretty much does anything the regular may does. Salsa is also a nice touch in the morning to dress up just about any protein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
