Good recipes

An unofficial South Beach discussion site I belong to has some excellent recipe collections. Even if you are not on SBD, these are good, because they usually include lean proteins and whole grains. I just thought y'all might enjoy perusing some new ideas, since with me, getting bored with what I eat is the kiss of death to my diet plan.

I have bookmarked it! I'm not doing SouthBeach but doing Atkins, so this will work for me as well...

I can post a few if anyone is interested.

16 oz FF egg substitute
12 oz FF evaporated milk
6 slices white or potato bread
16 oz extra lean ham, 11% fat, cubed
1 c. LF shredded cheese

Coat 9x13 baking pan w/ nonfat cooking spray. In mixing bowl, beat eggs well and add milk. Place bread on bottom of pan. Toss ham and cheese over bread. Pour egg mix over top. Cover w/ foil and refridgerate overnight. Bake at 350 F for 45 min. Remove foil and bake 15 min. more.

I also have the recipe for Breakfast Quesidillas ((2 serv @ 4pts each), Baked French Toast (2 serv @ 6 pts each), Oatmeal Apple Bars (12 serv @1 pt each and is Core) and I have a recipe for Bran Muffins that are one point each.

book are very good and i'm anxious to try some new ones.

is whole wheat pita pizza. You can use so many different combinations of toppings so you won't get bored with it. I just put a bit of pizza sauce on, some chicken, mushrooms, bell pepper and part-skim mozzarella amend stick it in the toaster oven. Quick, easy, and tasty!

Cook up some oatmeal, you can let it cool down if you like. Throw it in the blender with some protein powder, berries, and milk. It's a good breakfast that you can take with you to work. If you don't like the taste of oats, then use more berries to cover the taste.
