Celery with Nut Butter

Cut celery sticks with your favorite nut butter inside!!

Breatfast Sausage

Breakfast sausage is a good source of protein.  Try to pick something healthy with no additives.  I like the Chicken Breakfast Sausage from Applegate (found in the frozen section of your health food store).

Scrambled Eggs

Scrambled Egg Recipe

4 eggs
4 Tbsp. milk (almond, rice, or your choice)
salt and pepper to taste

1.  In a bowl, whisk ingredients to blend.
2.  Pour into heated cooking pan.
3.  With a heat-resistant rubber spatula, gently push one edge of the egg into the center of the pan, while tilting the pan to allow the still liquid egg to flow in underneath.  Repeat with the other edges, until there's no liquid left.
4.  Turn off the heat and continue gently stirring and turning the egg until all the uncooked parts become firm. Don't break up the egg, though.  Try to keep the curds as large as possible.  If you're adding any other ingredients, now's the time to do it.
5.  Transfer to a plate when the eggs are set but still moist and soft.
