I'm not big on traditional waffles, pancakes, cereal, orange juice type breakfasts. Not that I don't like them, I was raised on that sort of breakfast, but once I start eating like that, it's all I crave, and in no time I'd be gaining horrible amounts of weight!
I need less bad carbs and more protein in my diet. The closest I come to that is when I chop frozen berries and cherries then warm them a little and add plain Greek Yogurt and some really good, grainy-nutty granola. Some mornings I'll have dinner leftovers or scrambled eggs with steamed green beans and crumbled bacon. Today I woke up knowing just what I wanted. . .
- 4oz. frozen cod
- 1 sm.-med. red potato
- 1-2c fresh broccoli florets
- Old Bay Seasoning
- 1T butter
In a medium non-stick pan, steam-poach the cod with peeled potato cubes, in about a half-inch of seasoned water, for 4 minutes. Add the broccoli, turn the fish over, cover, and simmer-poach another 4 minutes. Plate the fish, add butter to the vegetables, stir to coat them with the remaining seasoned water and butter and add them to the plate. This came together in about 15 minutes, and contains 310 calories. It's great for a healthy, quick breakfast, lunch or dinner!
