It makes a ton. If my kids arent' acting hungry, I cut the recipe in half. It's not a hard & fast recipe. If you're a little short on cottage cheese, (or whatever) it's ok. The frst time I made them, I couldn't make them fast enough! My kids love them!

I buy instant organic oatmeal in bulk at the health food store. I put some in a bowl with brown sugar and maybe some cinnamon. Add boiling water and I like to cover it, though dh doesn't.

We stopped buying cold cereal b/c of the expense but we needed something that was just as fast and easy. DH makes his and ds1's and a little later I reheat the water and make some for me and ds2.

just FTR- the eggs, cheese and salsa all get scrambled up together....so it's all mixed in and piping hot.

mmmm....yummy. can't wait for the morning

Some of our old faves:

Peanut butter/banana/soy milk smoothie (with flaxseed oil, if desired)
Breakfast wraps with egg, cheese, avocado, black beans, and salsa
Sweet potatoes and apples baked with lots of nuts and honey
Homemade peanut butter granola bars w/ a glass of soy milk (we use a variation of this recipe
Eggs and a morning glory muffin
Oatmeal with walnuts and flaxseed oil

Morningstar Farms sausage patties with scrambled eggs and fruit
Whole wheat toast with eggs and fruit or low-sugar jam
Whole grain pancakes/waffles with sausage
Cheese omlettes and cold cereal
Cold cereal with rice milk/organic cow's milk combo and banana; cheese cubes
OAtmeal with maple syrup and sausage/nitrite-free bacon
Fried potatoes, plain yogurt, applesauce (this isn't that high protein but it's darn tasty)


I have a low blood sugar boy and I am a low blood sugar woman, so we try to do as much complex carb and protein as we can each morning. This is a *great* thread.

Hi gang! I just wanted to add on that I fix non instant rolled oats the same way I fix instant oatmeal. It works out fine. Add some rice syrup and whatever else you like. We add peanut butter sometimes but usually just sweetener and my son loves whipped cream on it. I still add butter and honey to mine.
btw I don't know for sure that rolled oats are more nutritous than instant, I'm just guessing they are. I usually buy barley flakes as well and mix them with our oats

instant is just flatter and more broken up than Rolled.

We do a lot of breakfast burittos or scrambled eggs, but I don't want eggs every morning and so I need new ideas. (I am tempted to have something sweet and bad for me if I get tired of the eggs.)

DH calls this Egg McFunky

It's basically an egg mcmuffin without the bread. Canadian bacon, fried egg, slice of cheese. Lots of pepper. It's really yummy.

Egg Sandwhich 18gms of protien (according to fitday)

1 egg white
1 whole egg
1/2 whole wheat Pita
1 slice American cheese

break the yoke on the whole egg and put the egg white on top (or vise versa) cook until desired doneness (I cook this on a saucer in the microwave because it comes out just the right thickness and size for a sandwich) Top with cheese (and mustard ) and sandwich it in your pita. YUM

Thanks! In my mind I guessed it was precooked or freeze dried or something.

We have made these pancakes every day this week! We absolutely love them. I use ground flax for the flour and we've been adding in a little maple syrup. I've been making them for dd and myself, so we use 1/3 the original recipe. That makes 4-5 pancakes. We have it with a fruit smoothie. I'd say it's pretty much a perfect breakfast. Thank you so much for this recipe!!

I caught a snipit of Martha Stewart yesterday. She had a Dr. on talking about ways to get in High Protien Breakfast.

Apparently Martha eats fish for breakfast. They also suggested chicken quesadilla's, ricotta cheese, and greek yogurt.
