Cheese and Herb Omelette





Ingredients:





2 tablespoons cream cheese, at room


temperature





1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, thyme, basil


or parsley





2 eggs





1 tablespoon water





Pinch of salt





Pinch of freshly ground pepper





1 tablespoon unsalted butter


Directions:





In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese and herbs. Mash with a table fork until blended. Set aside.





In another small bowl, combine the eggs, water, salt and pepper. Using a clean table fork, mix together until just blended. The eggs should not be foamy.





Put the butter in a small nonstick fry pan and set over medium heat. When the butter is melted and starts to foam, swirl the pan to coat the bottom with the butter. Pour the eggs into the pan and cook until the edges begin to look set, about 45 seconds. Holding the pan steady with a pot holder, use a spatula to lift up an edge of the omelette and tilt the pan slightly toward that edge. The uncooked egg in the center will run onto the pan bottom. Continue to cook and repeat the lift-and-tilt movement 2 more times at other points around the edge.





When the center of the omelette no longer looks runny but is still moist, drop teaspoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over half of the omelette. Slide the spatula under the other half of the omelette and flip it over the cream cheese half.





Gripping the pan handle firmly with the pot holder, hold the pan over a serving plate. Tilt the pan slightly and let the omelette slide out of it onto the plate. Serve immediately. Serves 1.








Homemade Granola





Any of the following ingredients may be added to the granola in balanced quantities to taste: chopped dried dates, apples, pineapples, apricots, pears or mangoes; dark raisins or golden raisins; dried cranberries, cherries or blueberries; chopped almonds, hazelnuts, raw peanuts or sunflower seeds; and/or wheat flakes or oat bran. Also try different honeys, such as lavender or orange blossom, or substitute maple syrup for the honey. When trying new additions, be sure to maintain an appealing proportion of crunchy ingredients in the final mixture.


Ingredients:





2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats





1/2 cup wheat germ





1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts





1/4 cup white sesame seeds





1/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut





1/4 cup raw hulled green pumpkin seeds





2 Tbs. canola oil





3 Tbs. honey





1 tsp. ground cinnamon





1/4 cup dried currants, or to taste





Milk for serving





Sliced fresh fruit, such as nectarines, peaches,


bananas, pears, plums, mangoes or berries,


for serving (optional)


Directions:





Preheat a broiler. Place the broiler pan on the lowest rack.





In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, wheat germ, walnuts, sesame seeds, coconut and pumpkin seeds. Spread the mixture in an even layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Keeping the broiler door ajar, broil, shaking the pan every 30 seconds while keeping the mixture in an even layer, until crisp and golden but not charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Watch the mixture carefully so it does not burn. Transfer to a large plate to cool, then place in a large bowl.





In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the oil, honey and cinnamon and heat until warm, about 2 minutes. Add half of the honey mixture to the granola and toss thoroughly to combine. Add just enough of the remaining honey mixture so that the granola clumps slightly but is not soupy. Stir in the currants.





Serve the granola with milk and sliced fresh fruit. Serves 4.





Note: The granola will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
If its a healthy recipe, its almost always going to be filling. Just make sure it is high in fiber. Search for high fiber breakfast recipes on the internet, you'll find many. If its high in fiber you stay full longer and it will help you lose weight. good luck.
