Got the munchies? Honey Feta Apple Slices



This recipe is good for breakfast, a snack or an appetizer at a party.  So quick and so versatile!

Ingredients:

apple, Granny smith
1 oz. fat free Feta cheese, crumbled (this can be found at your local grocery store)
1-2 TBSP honey

Directions:
1. Wash, core and slice apple.  Arrange slices on a plate.

2. Drizzle with honey.

3. Sprinkle with feta cheese.

4. Enjoy!  Yes, it's really that simple :)

Such a treat: a healthy breakfast



This reminded me of something you could order at McDonald's...but MUCH healthier!  I would suggest also adding some diced green or red bell peppers in with the eggs for added veggies and color.

3 egg whites
2 eggs
4 slices Canadian bacon, diced
4 frozen hashbrown patties
Salt
Pepper
Dash of cayenne (to taste)

Directions:
1.  Whisk together the eggs, egg whites and diced Canadian bacon. Set aside.

2. Spray a medium frying pan with cooking spray and place over medium heat.

3.  Once pan is hot, place the 4 patties in the pan to "fry".  After about 3-4 minutes, flip. (This time can be adjusted based on how crispy you like your hashbrowns.)

4. While hashbrowns are cooking, pour the egg mixture into a small skillet and scramble. Add salt, pepper and cayenne.

5. Once hashbrowns and eggs are finished, place one hashbrown on each of 4 plates and top with 1/4 of the egg mixture. (Can be served with 2 TBSP of ketchup.)
