Cottage Cheese and Mango

After a busy weekend with a lot of food, this is perfection! Cottage Cheese (favorite 2% is Costco least favorite Trader Joes) Sliced Mango Chia Seeds Drizzle of honey

I’m in California this week so most of the recipes are going to be using leftovers from Easter and other things I’ve made from around the house over the last couple of weeks. I like to keep it simple and healthy after big holidays and parties. Use any granola you have around the house. I used my homemade granola from a previous post but most should work. Add Peanut butter and honey until combined and fairly sticky. I don’t know measurements but if I had to guess 2 C of granola to 1/2 C Peanut Butter and 1/4 C honey. I added a little vanilla extract too. Once it’s combined spray mini or regular muffin tins generously with coconut spray and fill with granola and shape in a cup. Freeze muffin tins for a couple of hours and take out right before serving. Fill with Geek yogurt and fruit.

Pound Cake French Toast

En route to the Middle East today and thought I’d leave you with this parting recipe. Pass it along to your family for Mothers Day! Store bought pound cake, unsliced (I also used poppyseed so use your favorite). Egg milk cinnamon vanilla (use your normal egg mixture you use for French toast) Whipped cream Lemon Curd Fruit for topping Maple syrup Cut thick slices of pound cake and dip in egg mixture until soaked. Put on griddle for 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Add lemon curd to whipped cream (1-2 TB per 2 C of whipped cream). Smear plate with lemon curd, plate French toast and top with berries, whip cream, and maple syrup!

Tomato and Egg Bake

This has been one of my favorite breakfasts in Israel. It’s low-carb, healthy, and hearty!

Season with salt and pepper. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until eggs are just set, 7 to 10 minutes….

Egg & Ham Cup

Heading home and I’m going to need a lot of take-out and dinners like this! Use a rolling pin and roll sliced whole wheat bread. Other bakery bread would probably work as well and might taste better. (Kids loved doing the rolling pin.) I didn’t spread bread with butter but that would be really good and help it crisp up. Fit rolled bread in sprayed cupcake tins. Add chopped ham and then a raw egg. Put a spoonful of Alfredo sauce (or not) on egg and sprinkle s&p. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until eggs are set. Serve with spinach salad and dinner is done!
