BROCCOLI & FETA OMELETTE WITH A LITTLE DILL

 


This easy breakfast recipe, which takes just 15 minutes start to finish, packs a one-two punch that will leave you feeling satisfied yet energized. 

The broccoli provides filling fiber (and just 30 calories per serving), while the protein-loaded eggs curb appetite and will help stave off those late-morning cravings. 

Who needs breakfast in a diner when you can whip up a dish like this in no time flat? Use either fresh or frozen broccoli. Both work just fine. The feta cheese adds some CLAs plus a punch of flavor, too.

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 1 cup chopped broccoli
  • large eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried dill
  • slices rye bread, toasted

Preparation


1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add broccoli, and cook 3 minutes.

2. Combine egg, feta, and dill in a small bowl. Add egg mixture to pan. Cook 3 to 4 minutes; flip omelet and cook 2 minutes or until cooked through. Serve with toast.

TIPS FOR HEALTHY SHOPPING

Shopping tips for healthy food
Have you noticed the growing amount of nutrition information in your grocery store these days? Here are a few things you can do to make your next trip a little easier.
-Create a meal plan for the week around the food groups: vegetables and fruit, whole-grain products, alternatives and lean meat and alternatives such as fish, beans, nuts and soya.
-Make a shopping list with the foods you’ll need for the week’s meal plan. This will help you avoid impulse decisions and high fat, high salt temptations.
-Spend the maximum amount of time shopping in the outer aisles of the grocery store where you'll find the vegetables, fruit, bread, meat and milk.
-Read the Nutrition Facts table on most food packages.
-Choose products lower in salt, saturated and trans fat. Look for products that have 2 grams of fibre or more.

Baked Eggplant With Tuna Mix

#eggplant
Slice the eggplant, mix your choice of stuffing. I used tuna, but chicken, lean beef. Even tofu can be used. I chopped some sweet peppers, onion, garlic, seasoning salt and a touch of olive oil, dug out the eggplant, drizzled a little oil on it, stuffed it and baked it to desired likeness.
For my son I add meat, for me it's just a mish mash of veggies for stuffing.
