Two yummy 60 second breakfasts

 I know microwaves are sometimes frowned upon by nutritionists but they don’t add a lot of carcinogens or need additional fats or oils to cook your food and they’re fast.

Sometimes if you’re a busy mother or late for work or having a difficult morning you’re looking for something that is appealing and easy to give you a little bit of comfort and energy.

I have found two alternative breakfasts that take 60 seconds each and use the microwave to complete.

The first is a comfort food of oatmeal with chocolate and whip cream. Altogether it’s under 200 cal. Half a cup of oatmeal is 150 cal. Quick oats cook in the microwave in 60 seconds. Sprinkle with mini semi sweet chocolate chips or chocolate sprinkles and finish with a spritz of real whipped cream in a can. This seriously tastes much like an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie without the additional sugar or calories.

The second is a powerful breakfast sandwich full of protein and fiber without the fat. 

The ingredients are one medium sized egg, one prosciutto or salami Panino and one piece of your favorite bread hopefully high-fiber low fat. The calorie count is under 300.

The cooking instructions are to slice up the Panino into small pieces in a small microwave safe dish crack the egg over the Panino and scramble. And the last step is with the oatmeal is to cook in the microwave on high for 60 seconds.

Then assembly is to scoop out the cooked egg and Panino and place it on top of your bread. 

That’s it. Two breakfasts both satisfying. Both under five minutes total with prep and cooking time.

Enjoy.

Tri tip steak in Air fryer oven

Well I had to get a new stove . The stove that I decided to get was a Smart Samsung with a gas cooktop and an oven that does regular bake z& broil, convection bake and roast,  air fry , dehydrate and Sabbath cooking. I won’t be needing the last one that I know of but you never say never.  I decided to try to  Strip steaks. In approximately 22 to 27 minutes depending upon your desired doneness the steak was done and juicy and delicious. Pick one is 27 minutes pick two was at 22 minutes more of a medium. I’m assuming that this type of cooking will be less caloric and better for my health in general. All it took was a little bit of seasoning (Canadian style steak) and the oven.

 

Getting back to business

 Ok these are not on my diet but Halloween made me crazy. 

Learning to cook at 73

 I decided that as part of my weight loss journey that convenient is not necessarily good for you. I thought prepared foods are often stuffed with sodium for example. I decided to try #HelloFresh. It comes with fresh ingredients and instructions to put a meal together easily.I started this week. First meal was a good fit for caloric intake and veggie content. 

Taste great.
