My Favorite breakfast recipes
LOW CARB CRUSTLESS QUICHE
- 6 large eggs
- 4 ounces cream cheese (1/2 of a usual package) - softened
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 1 bunch green onions - chopped optinal
- salt and pepper to taste
- 10 slices of cooked bacon - crumbled
- 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare Muffin tins with a generous coating of cooking spray.
In a blender, pulse together the eggs, cream cheese, cream, butter, salt and pepper until smooth. Add the onions and pulse once or twice to mix.
Pour mixture into prepared dish. Sprinkle the bacon evenly over the top followed by the grated cheese - distributed evenly.
Bake until a toothpick inserted the center comes out clean.
Each serving has just under 3 grams of carbs... and just over 1,000 grams of flavor!
Trust me you will LOVE THESE so much. I normally make a huge batch of them and freeze them and then pop them in the microwave when I am ready for them. They make a great lunch or dinner too!
Banana Cream Oatmeal
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups quick-cooking oats
- 2 medium bananas - sliced into thin coins
- 1/2 cup non-fat sweetened condensed milk

In a large sauce pan, bring the water to a boil.
Add the oats. Immediately reduce heat to medium. Cook for one minute - stirring often. Remove from heat.
Add the banana slices and condensed milk to the oats and stir to mix. Cover the pan and let it set for 2 or 3 minutes, or until desired thickness is reached.
Serve warm, sprinkled with cinnamon. Top with chopped walnuts or pecans and a splash of cold milk for a nice final touch.

My Grandma Jones' Irish Potato and Bacon Cakes
- 1 pound bacon - cooked and crumbled
- 1 pound mashed potatoes (great use for left-overs)
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- salt and pepper - to taste
- dried dill-about 2-3 tablespoons
- Olive oil fro frying
In a mixing bowl, stir bacon, flour and salt and pepper into the mashed potatoes.
Heat a griddle or large fry pan to medium-high with a generous coating of butter or oil.
Form 4 or 5 small hamburger-size patties from the potato mixture and carefully place on griddle or fry pan.
Fry the patties until golden brown on each side (about 5 minutes per side). This is a traditional Irish recipe that was made on an almost daily basis by my late Grandma Jones who was Irish and Welsh. YUMMMMMMMM
