Back to basics

Basics in the kitchen that is.
First for breakfast this week. I usually work in some eggs for breakfast now and again. With the last cholesterol reading I have decided to opt against that. Not to mention the weeks worth of eggs on Easter Sunday will hold me for a while.
Then you see all the great meals with sausage or bacon. After the bacon fat people I try to avoid bacon not to mention my inability to cook it. There are other recipes for making your own breakfast sausage. That always catches my attention. But I truly get tired withy he amount of work.
So instead breakfast the rest of the week.... Sautéed potatoes (minimal amounts of it) onions, peppers and ground white meat turkey. I will be layering this over a sliced tomato and garnished with fat free plain Greek yogurt. Wow, that my make me jump out of bed in the morning.
For lunch... Well I chopped up some artichoke hearts and opened a can of Cannelini beans (I know so not my soak the beans style) and tossed with my left over cucumber salad. I am serving over a bed of savoy lettuce.
Dinner will be up in the air. I think it will turn out to be left over broccoli pesto over acorn squash.
And for a snack strawberries and mango tossed fruit salad. Thank goodness for that new waterpik I bought over the weekend.
Gonna try to swim again the next two days. I won't be near a pool for another week or so after that. Bummer.
