Food Friday! My Favorite Breakfast

It is Friday again and I cannot wait to swap food ideas with some of my favorite people this week.

I had a good week and stayed on track without any big issues.

This week I made my favorite breakfast. I labeled it Paleo Pie in my Weight Watchers recipe builder. I have a wedge of it in the morning and it keeps me full through till lunch.

 I get a lot of questions on this recipe when I post pics on twitter so here it is:
2 cups of egg beaters or egg whites
12 ounces of ground turkey I use the 93% lean one
6 ounces almond cheese
chopped veggies, my faves: zuccini, onion, tomato, pepper, and broccoli
All I do is cook the turkey, then mix it all together and bake it in a pie dish for about 45 minutes to an hour on 350. Then its done. I cut it into 6 wedges and have a wedge for breakfast, each wedge is only 4 points plus! And its almost paleo minus the almond cheese which is debatable ;)
I like having this handy for the morning when my toddler does not give me time to eat, or even as a mid day snack after  workout. It is protein packed and pretty filling. I heat it up in the microwave and eat it warm.

 I made salads this week and added in some ground turkey and avocado for a different feeling rather than boring chicken breast. I have found when I switch it up it helps, also I use fresh salsa instead of salad dressing so it saves my calories and points and lets in some avocado. I always forget how much I love avocado until I have some :)

 A great go to snack for me this week was summer squash and zucchini. I slice them and broil them for awhile until they cook and keep them on hand to snack on whenever I am hungry.
