Default Re: South Beach Breakfast?

Kitchenwitch-- some of those recipes look really good!

I'll have to try some of that pudding. I saw a recipe for cookies and cream ice cream made with tofu that I really want to try-- it's versatile stuff.

The breakfast meatballs sound good-- but I think that's too much fat for me. I have high cholesterol and would want to avoid all that red meat. Shame, because they sound awesome. I LOVE the idea of the spice mix, though, and will have to save that. You can't get sausage here with the kind of flavoring I'm used to... I've tried flavoring it at home and it turns out okay, but a spice mix would make it even easier.

In case anybody's interested, here's a low carb breakfast recipe I found that might be really good. It's high fat, too, unfortunately. But most ofl the fat comes from almonds, so it's super healthy fat. I'm going to make it next week-- I'll report back then.

Delicious Low Carb Cornbread

SERVES 8

3 1/2 ounces ground almonds or almond flour
1 ounce melted butter
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

1. In a small bowl, mix wet ingredients, then work in the dry ingredients.
2. Pour into a greased microwave-safe container (about 6-inch square, or thereabouts).
3. Microwave for 2 minutes at power level 8.
4. Cut into 8 slices, about 1 carb per slice.
5. Serve with butter.
