Top a piece of toast with eggs cooked as desired. Remove stems of leafy greens; flash sauté in one pour hot water. Season options: salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, habanero salt

Prepare eggs as desired. Chop a tomato, couple stalks of cilantro. Add cooked quinoa. Top with one quarter of sliced avocado.

Prepare bacon. Use bacon grease to brown and sauté Brussel sprouts. Prepare eggs, as desired. Plate eggs, sprouts, and bacon then season with salt and pepper. Slop up juices with a slice of toast!

Top a toasted (or oven baked) sweet potato with nuts, seeds, and warm spices - cinnamon, nutmeg, gram masala, etc. Timing on this meal is based on toaster.

Cooked steel cut oats in a mixture of protein power, cacao nibs, and yogurt. Topped with blueberries.

Coat an oven-safe pan with sliced, baked potatoes (or fry them first then layer them in the pan). On a burner over medium-high add onions, garlic…any other vegetable that benefits from a bit of stir frying. When veggies are ready, add whisked eggs (I add a three-count pour of milk while beating eggs; if desired, remove a few yolks to reduce fat). Top with the remaining ingredients (shown here tomatoes, spinach, black olives, herbs). Let the edges of the eggs firm up then place in oven to finish, until 165 F degrees - eggs are firm and cooked through.

There are vast recipes for frittata and I opt for the ones that use sliced potatoes as the foundation to get that carb-dense portion that completes a meal (or why not sub with a grain!). Go with meat or meat-free, experiment with a variety of colorful veggies, and nix or mix cheese in to the fold. Spice it up or let the flavors of the ingredients showcase your work…breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

This one is microwaved. Spoon grain in the bottom of a microwave-safe bowl then pour raw eggs over grains. Heat until eggs are cooked. Top with diced veggies, salsa, or pico de Gallo.

Millet, steel cut oats, buckwheat, quinoa…hey, any grain can do with this high-protein breakfast. Add a dalop of yogurt, peanut butter, and choice fruit. Cacoa nibs added her for both crunch and amino acids; lignans, nuts, or what ever else may be folded in, too! Stir and savor each tasty bite.

Bring a larger sized cauliflower home from the produce section, cut in ~1 inch slices then broil on low. Top with a tomato or creamy sauce (I used nutritional yeast). Then sautéed veggies (i.e. mushrooms, peppers, asparagus, onions, etc).

Hard boiled eggs on hand makes this a 5-minute meal. Cut open eggs over toasted bread then garnish with microgreens or a green of choice. Side of veggies then voila! A simple meal.

Pre-prep salmon and quinoa to reduce time to 5-minutes. Pictured is broiled salmon on top of a quinoa medley mix with green onions and parsley. Add a veggie of choice (radish here), plus top with an herb or microgreens.

Cacoa nibs add crunch and additional nutrients to gewey or dry grains. Add 5-minutes to prep grains on the stovetop. Otherwise, microwave. Pair with berries of choice.

A simple way to reduce the size of French toast is to slice bread in to “sticks”. Toss chopped celery, apple, and grapes in a bowl with a spoonful of veganaise (or mayo) for a creamy, crunchy salad on the side.

Tamales can really change up the status quo for any meal. Buy them at a Mexican grocer (our butcher carries them). Pre-prep salsa (diced tomatoes, onions, peppers for heat, cilantro tossed in lime juice and a few pinches of salt). Prepare eggs as you like them.

A myicrogreen salad can be as simple as microgreens, tomatoes, EVOO and balsamic vinegar. Keep it simple. Lots of flavors with eggs and toast added in (I like to top each bite of toast with the salad and egg).
