[shawnee]

Come on guys there are a lot of new folks here let's give them some options. Makes this a long thread

for me this week

Monday: chopped & Turkey Pastrami mixed & scrambled/w eggs
Tuesday: Turkey Bacon & Eggs
Weds: Smoked Mackarel & Eggs

Do I ever have a no egg breakfast

Yeah I sometimes do the "I Can't Believe It's Not Panackes" made from crushed Pork Rinds & Cream (& eggs)w/small layer of butter & not syrup.

I'm always looking for b'fast ideas. Somebody help me out here.

breakfast

Maybe a hint that can help others - as I am a mom of 6 and work full time - I have found instead of adding pressure for myself - I cook my breakfast night night before (2 egg omlet with cheese 2 sausages) and cover put in refig and then heat it up in the morning - I also pack my lunch the night before for work so this way in the morning all is set when I walk out the door.

I sometimes eat a "mock danish". Have you heard of it? It's famous on lowcarber website. The original recipe calls for an egg, some cream cheese, a little bit of 50 fifty jelly, lemon extract, and Splenda.
Let me know if you aren't familiar with it and want the recipe. It is great. I don't know who's recipe it is, but I've altered mine several ways. I highly recommend it.

I eat lettuce rolls sometimes: Get a leaf of lettuce fill it with egg salad, chicken salad, bacon and tomato, etc. and roll it up.

I also eat left over creamy vegetable soups that I make from scratch...good especially now in the winter.

Leftovers are good too.

[pammie]

my favorite breakfast
cold grilled fish (done the night before)
and miso soup....yum!

[James'Girl]

Pammie: What is miso soup?>

Momof6:I make both my lunch and now brkfst the night before also, it taltally saves on time esp. for those non-morning people like me.

got4girlies: Yes yes I have not seen a version of the mock dnish with lemon extract. Give some more examples if you can

[Calouste]

I usually eat a celery stick with cream cheese and a nice omlet with cheese and ham

[james1760]

salmon fillet with egg
bacon and egg
sausage and egg

if i have any chicken fillets in i will make one of those

Thanks for all the breakfast ideas guys! Third day on atkins, I actually cheated last night. I am so disappointed with myself. However, this is a new day and it won't happen again. This site provides such encouragement. Thanks a lot!

James'girl- I am not sure if these recipes are allowed on the normal induction phase of Atkins, so do it at your own risk. :laughing However, I have them because I nurse and therefore add a few more carbs to my diet.

Here is the original recipe I found :
2 ozs cream cheese
1 egg
1 tbsp Splenda
1 tsp lemon concentrate (sorry it wasn't lemon extract, just juice)
1/2 tsp vanilla

Soften the cream cheese in the microwave in a small bowl for about 20 seconds. You may want to spray it first with Pam because the egg does stick a bit.
Stir the cream cheese, then add the egg. Mix it until the yolk is blended, but don't blend it completely because you'll want the pockets of cream cheese in there (the best part to me). Then you stir in the remaining ingredients and nuke for 2 minutes in the microwave.
This recipe is 4 grams of carbs like it is.
I've never made it just like that though. Here's the way I've eaten it:

Pumpkin Pie-like Mock Danish (this is my favorite version)
2 oz cream cheese
1 tbsp Splenda
1 tbsp pumpkin
a touch of pumpkin spice
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
Soften the cheese for 20 seconds. Stir, and add the egg. Stir until the yolk is blended. Add the remaining ingredients, make sure you just sprinkle a little bit of pumpkin spice. Nuke for 2 minutes 10 seconds. I like to stir it. The pumpkin I use by Libby says a WHOLE can is only 9 gram, so I know that a tbsp can't be much at all. I would say it may be around 6 grams total. You may want to add butter to enhance the flavor even more, but I don't.

With the original recipe, you may want to omit the lemon and add a teaspoon of low carb jelly. This is the way I eat it most. Get some 50 fifty jam or other low carb jelly (be careful though, I saw that mine was 5 grams for a tbsp, so I use half the serving). When everything else is mixed up, drop 1/2 tbsp to 1 tbsp, depending on carb amount, in the center. It taste great to me!
I've also heard of some people making them with a little bit of cocoa in them to give it a chocolate cheese cake flavor to it. I recommend adding a little maple flavoring to this, as it always enhances the chocolate flavor for low carb recipes.
You just get creative with it. You can make it with a variety of low carb things really.

I wouldn' eat the chocolate version on the induction no matter what though. I haven't eaten it yet because I'm afraid it will cause chocolate cravings for me. :grimble

I love the mock danish occasionally too...the recipe I have used from here is one that has "icing"....I don't really have the proper recipes, but I can tell you approximates, and maybe if you do a search you will find the one I'm talking about....Brook had it posted at one time.....
"DANISH"
Mix 1 or 2 eggs (depending on how hungry you are, or if your having anything else with it...I usually use two)
Add 1/2 tsp of splenda
A good dash of cinnamon
1 TBS of cream cheese.....mix together (will be slightly "mealy" in texture)
Cook in Microwave, stirring once.......When it is cooked it usually stays into the form of the bowl you cook it in, so it is more like the shape of a real danish.

ICING
Slightly warm 1 TBS of Cream Cheese in MIC, then add 1/2 tsp of splenda, a drop or 2 of lemon, and cinnamon (to your taste preference)....
Mix well, and spread over "danish"......very yummy!....really tastes like one...
I often ommited the cream cheese in the egg, and used that amount in my "icing".....sometimes ya just need more icing!
:laughing

I normally have Crustless Quiche as in the Atkins recipe book.
I love spinach and also it is so handy to have that for breaky as i only have to make one Quiche for me the whole week.

Once out of Induction I like the the recipe in the Atkins book for blueberry muffins. It is GREAT!!! Again only have to make it once a week. These muffins have proved to be great for those with wheat intolerance at work too.

Courgette cake is good too, found in the Atkins recipe book as well.

One more thing I like for breaky is lettuce leaf with smoked salmon, cream chease and scrambled eggs wrap.

Also love cooked breakfast at the weekend, using homemade sausages, bacon, tomato, mushrooms, eggs, etc. It is SO tasty and keeps me going till dinner time!

I also agree with people abve about leftovers and soup in the morning. Leftovers are brill!!!

:laughing

I was addicted to this for quite some time. Totally Induction safe and tastes good cold as well.
Spray 6 muffin tins with pam. Heat oven 350C.
Take 6 slices of bacon and nuke for 1-2 mins.
Take bacon out of microwave and wrap around inside of muffin tin. Take pork sausage (out of casing) and pat down on bottom of muffin tin. Only a thin layer.(I use 3-4 sausages for 6 muffin tins) Then take 6 eggs and break them individually into muffin tins on top of sausage and inside bacon.
Bake for 30 mins. Very Yummy!! I usually eat 2 and safe the rest for lunch/snack or breaky the next day!!
Enjoy,
~Jacqueline

Breakfast idea

This recipe will be 6 "Egg Muffins". They are quiche like in consistency. My husband and I both enjoy them.

5 well beaten eggs
1/4 cup cream
1/8 cup iced water
1 teaspoon parmesean cheese
pepper to taste
Mix together thoroughly.

Mound no more than an 1 heaping tablespoon of grated cheese in each of six sprayed muffin tins. (Tip: Home grated cheese goes further than pre-grated, packaged cheese.)

Add crisp bacon or diced ham, sausage, peppers, left over veggies to muffin tins topping cheese. Pour egg mixture over cheese and "toppings".

Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Can be refrigerated and warmed up later.

[SportyDiva]

Kinda boring but I uaually have either:
1) deli ham with 2 eggs & 1 piece of cheese as an omlette
or
2) use sausage instead of ham


it's quick & tastes great. I really don't know what else to fix for breakfast?
