Morning Mug

Quick and easy breakfast for on the go!

Toss the following ingredients in a blender:

1 C oats
1/2 C milk
2 eggs
1/4 C honey
A dash of nutmeg
A handfull of fruit

Blend (if you want the fruit left whole, then add it AFTER you blend.
Pour mixture into a mug (there's enough for two in this recipe) or microwavable dish, and cook for 3-5 minutes in your microwave.
It tastes like a cross between a muffin and a bowl of oatmeal. Personally, I slathered mine in butter and I thought it made it ten times better.

Oatmeal Pancakes

I'm pretty sure that just about everyone loves pancakes. I'm also pretty sure that if you DON'T love pancakes, something is seriously wrong with you.
This is my new favorite protien packed pancake recipe. Enjoy.

1 2/3 C Oatmeal
1 C Cottage Cheese
5 Eggs
3TBSP Sugar
1TBS Cinnamon
2tsp Nutmeg

Throw it all in a blender and blend until smooth. Fry 'em up like any other pancake and viola! I like mine with butter and cinnamon and sugar on top instead of syrup.

Spinach Stuffed Chicken with Beets and Lentils

Dinner Idea. I promise you this is super yummy.

Stuffed chicken breasts:

Cut them open like a hot dog bun and put a teaspoon of butter inside each one, sprinkle with salt to taste. Bake until cooked all the way through. While they’re baking, cook up some spinach, garlic, basil, and salt and set aside to cool a little. In a bowl combine a half cup of cottage cheese, a half cup of mozzarella, and a quarter cup of parmesan cheese. Mix this together with the spinach and garlic stuff.

When the chicken is cooked, stuff it with the mixture and pop it back in the oven for another ten minutes or so.

Honey Beets:

Peel and chop up 4-6 beets. In a pan, melt about a half stick of butter and add a 1/8C of honey and 1/2C of sugar. Let this come to a boil and then add the beets and a tsp of ground cloves and a tsp of nutmeg. Cook until beets are soft.

Garlic Lentils:

One cup of lentils and two and a half cups of water (you may have to add more). Boil for 30-45 minutes and then let them set for 5 minutes. Add a half stick of butter, about a tablespoon (I used more) of salt, and a teaspoon and a half of garlic powder. Oh, and basil too. Just a little bit.

There you go. Keep Calm and Chow Down.
