Breakfast Pizza

I love The Biggest Loser.  That is one of my all time favorite shows because it helps motivate people to eat healthy and get active!  This past week (I'm 2 weeks behind) I saw the episode where the Biggest Loser Chef made breakfast pizzas.  So I decided to try them and they are SOOOO good!  You have to try this!  You can make these gluten free or with just regular English muffins.  My family is not gluten free, so I made these this morning with sandwich splitz.  These are fast and full of protein and fiber!  These are great for your kids as they head off to school in the morning!  These will give them that energy they need to get through the morning!

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

4 eggs
3 turkey sausage links
1/4 cup (your favorite) salsa
English Muffins or Splitz Sandwich bread (or whatever gluten free bread you want to try.  I like Ezekiel English Muffins)
1/2 cup cheese

Directions:

Take your English Muffins and split them in half or if you are using sandwich splitz they are already halved for you.  Place the bread on a cookie sheet and bake them in the over on 350 until they become toasted.  While those are toasting, scramble your eggs.  While cooking the eggs, try to get them into the shape of thin squares.  Cut your sausage links into little chunks and warm those in a skillet until slightly browned.

Once the eggs and sausage are done and your bread is toasted,  start making your pizzas!  Place the eggs on top of each bread, then sausage, then a spoonful of salsa then sprinkle each one with cheese.

Place the pizzas back in the over until the cheese is good and melted.  When cheese is melted, take them out and they are ready to eat!

Green Leaf, Pear, and Goat Cheese Salad

I found this salad years ago and I love it!  It's great as a side salad for lunch or as a salad with your dinner!  This is a south beach recipe and it's low calorie!  This one is gluten free and you'll love it!  Make sure you toast the walnuts because it gives it a smoky taste with the smooth and creamy goat cheese!  Delicious!

Ingredients:

1/3 cup walnuts

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 head green leaf lettuce, torn into bite size pieces (6 cups loosely packed)

1/2 pear (I prefer Bosc) cored and thinly sliced

3 ounces plain reduced-fat soft goat cheese

Salt and fresh ground pepper

Directions:

Heat over or toaster over to 275 degrees.  Spread walnuts on a baking tray and bake until fragrant and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.  Roughly chop nuts.

Place oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a jar with a lid.  Close tightly and shake vigorously to combine.

Place lettuce and pear slices in a mixing bowl  Season with salt and pepper, add dressing, and toss.  Divide among plates, sprinkle cheese and nuts on top and serve!
