yummy Sunnyside eggs for breakfast

Yummy morning!

If you are looking for healthy recipes that can be made with ingredients on hand. For example, eggs and milk are a good start but if you want something more than just those two items. You can definitely try out these recipes listed below:

1. Oatmeal

Cook oatmeal according to package directions using water instead of milk/soymilk. Add fruit if desired. For added protein add one egg beaten well before adding oats.

2. Whole Grain Cereal

Make your favorite cereal as usual except use whole grain flakes rather than refined flake cereals. This will make it healthier because you won’t need any sugar to sweeten it. You could also add nuts and dried fruits like raisins or cranberries.

3. Yogurt Parfait

Mix yogurt into granola until mixed together. Use this mixture to top toast, waffles, pancakes, etc…

4. Egg Sandwich
