Tasty Tuesday!

Here we are another week! Hope you enjoy!

Monday
Breakfast Burritos and Melon
1-2 cups grape tomatoes, cut in half
1/2 small sweet onion, diced
1 tsp olive oil
salt/pepper
4 large whole wheat tortillas
8 eggs (I used 4 eggs 4 whites)
2-3 Tb milk
salt/pepper/taco seasoning
grated pepper jack cheese/cheddar cheese
fresh avocado slices

Start out with tossing the tomatoes and onion in olive oil and sprinkling with salt and pepper. Roast in a 400 oven for 15 minutes.
While these are cooking scramble your eggs over medium heat until almost done and remove from heat.(they will continue cooking and you don't want them rubbery.)Season with salt, pepper, and taco seasoning.
Heat the tortillas in a fry pan on the stove about 20 seconds per side. Then put the warm and toasted tortilla on a plate and put the desired amount of cheese down the middle. Spoon on some of your scrambled eggs, roasted tomatoes and onion, and top with slices of avocado. Eat burrito style. Serve with melon of your choosing.

Tuesday
Grown up Grilled Cheese and Fruit Salad

1 loaf Sesame Ezekiel Bread (found in the freezer section of most stores)
Swiss Cheese Slices
Dijon Mustard
Spinach
Sliced Mushrooms ( I like the baby portabello at Costco)
1/2 Sliced onion
Pam
2 Cans Fruit Salad
1 small container of low calorie yogurt

Place mushrooms and onions in pan with a little olive oil. saute a few minutes not turning. You want the mushrooms to get brown and a little crisp. Turn after about 3 minutes and leave for another three or so minutes. When they are brown on both sides add a half  bag of spinach. It wilts down fairly quickly. Remove mixture from stove. Take your bread and spray both out sides with Pam. Place in pan and top with Swiss on one side and Dijon on the other. When cheese is melty, spoon veggie mixture on top and top with Dijon side. Drain Fruit salad and mix with yogurt. Serve on side on sandwich. ENJOY.
