A Great Breakfast Option For People On Low Carb Diets

Friday, January 20th, 2012

A great food option for people on low carb diets is eggs. Breakfast tends to be associated with foods high in carbohydrates and fats. As an example, bacon is one breakfast food many people won’t give up. But a plate of eggs and a glass of fruit juice make an excellent breakfast. Eggs are a great substitute for high carb foods provided you don’t prepare them with high carb cheese or other additives.

Advice: cupcake stands

You can make great omelets and other foods by adding fresh veggies. Fruits are great for low carb diets. This is one low carb diet hints that you really need to pay attention to. Fruit is a wonderful way to satisfy your sweet cravings. Because fruits do not have that many carbs, it is a good way to control your sweet attacks. As well as being low in carbs, fruit has many nutrients and vitamin that your body requires to stay healthy. Fruits can give you things such as vitamin C, which is a required thing that makes your immune system work properly. They are also great sources of fiber.

Luxurious and Easy Brunch: Sausage, Fontina, and Bell Pepper Strata

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

At only about two dollars per serving, this hearty meal is ideal for brunch, combined with a salad, or breakfast (if you can wait 2 hours).

Yield: Makes 8 to 10 servings

Preparation time: 35 minutes

Total time: 1 hour 55 minutes

INGREDIENTS

6 Lg. eggs

2-1/2 C. whole milk

2 C. sliced green onions

1/2 C. whipping cream

1/2 C. finely grated Romano cheese

2 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano

1/2 Tsp salt

1 lb. hot Italian sausages (remove the casings)

1 Lg. red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch strips

1 1-pound loaf French bread, cut into 1/2-inch slices

2 C. coarsely grated Fontina cheese (pack loosely)

PREPARATION

Preheat oven to 350F. Butter a 13″ x 9″ x 2″ glass or ceramic baking dish. Mix the first seven ingredients in a large bowl; generously sprinkle with pepper, and then set aside.

Place the sausage in a large nonstick skillet and set aside. Add the bell pepper to other half of skillet. Saute over high heat while you break up the sausage with a fork, until the sausage is fully cooked and the bell peppers have a few brown spots (about 7 minutes).

Arrange half of the bread slices in your buttered dish. Pour half of the egg mixture over the bread. Sprinkle half the cheese on top evenly, then half of pepper-sausage mixture. Repeat this layer, and then let stand 20 minutes, pressing on bread occasionally to submerge it.

Bake the strata until brown and puffed, about one hour. Cool slightly, and serve warm.

Bon appetit.
