Spotlight Recipes: More Quick & Easy Breakfasts

One out of every four people ditches breakfast each morning, and many folks who do eat it turn to less-healthy options for a quick fix. Forgo the fruit-filled pastry, and have some fiber-rich carbs, fresh fruit, lean protein or veggies instead. If you’re always starving by lunch time, up the amount of fiber in your morning meal; this will help keep you full.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day – love these great ideas!
the nutritional info would have been helpful. The breakfast pizza was the only one i seen with it
definately will try some of these
Thanks so much for the ideas. Always like Ellie Kreiger's recipes.
You can also whisk 5-6 eggs (or the equivalent amount of egg substitute) and then add your favorite low-fat cheese, chopped veggies, and/or any meat you prefer (i.e. low sodium, low fat turkey ham, sausage, or even Boca crumbles.) Then pour the mixture into the cups of a mini muffin pan (spray w/cooking spray first) and bake for 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees to make your own mini breakfast bites. I can't take credit for that one: the recipe idea came from someone called (appropriately enough) eggface. Google her moniker and you'll find her blog, The World According to Eggface. Look for the "bites" recipes.
to k shelton: The nutritional info IS at the bottom of the recipe for the Breakfast Pizza when you click on the recipe…Try again.
Hi K, not all recipes we link to on Foodnetwork.com list the nutrition info, unfortunately. You can be sure, however, that they meet our main meal part guidelines of being under 400 calories and 15 grams of total fat per serving. We run our own calculations before we link to them.
to velvet hammer: if you take your time and read k sheltons post again, she says she 'seen' the nutritional info on the breakfast pizza recipe. but i'm sure she appreciates your 'helpfulness'
Hi…
Thank you for the nice recipe. I would love the Vanilla spice Oatmeal. I am having a small party at my farmhouse this weekend. I was wondering about something special to serve my friends with. This one would be a nice treat for all my friends. I will try this and tell you.
