Tomato & Lemon Pepper Toast

It’s Toast Tuesday!

Today is a variation of one of my old favorite treats. I used to love bagels with cream cheese, tomato and lemon pepper in high school. Nowadays, I still enjoy this flavor combination, but I’ve swapped the bagel for sprouted grain toast and traded in the regular cream cheese for a fat-free version.


Tomato & Lemon Pepper Toast
Serves 1

1 slice Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Grain Low Sodium Bread
1 Tbsp nonfat cream cheese
2 slices tomato
lemon pepper to taste

Toast the bread, spread with cream cheese, top with tomato slices, and a sprinkle of lemon pepper.

Buckwheat Pancakes With Ginger Pear Glaze

There is no better way to start off your weekend than a hot plate of pancakes. Trade in your Bisquick and syrup for this pretty plate of healthy pancakes. This glaze is so good, you won’t even miss ol’ Aunt Jemima!

Buckwheat Pancakes With Ginger Pear Glaze
Serves 1

1 small pear
¼ cup buckwheat pancake mix
2 Tbsp sliced almonds
½ tsp fresh grated ginger
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp water

Slice pear into small pieces. In a microwave safe bowl, toss the pear slices with lemon juice, water, and ginger. Cover with saran wrap and microwave for 2-4 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix the buckwheat pancake batter to package instructions (I usually use water/milk and omit oil). Pour batter into pan over medium heat and flip once the pancakes are golden brown. Transfer pancakes to a plate and drizzle with pears and ginger glaze. Top with sliced almonds and enjoy warm.

Quinoa Orange Breakfast Bowl

My friend Taryn and I went to Zinc Café on Sunday and decided to try their new quinoa bowl. It was filled with red quinoa, oranges, almonds, and topped with rich ricotta cheese. Zinc Café served their dish hot, which I really enjoyed since the weather has taken a turn. I wanted to try making the quinoa bowl at home,  and used cold quinoa that I had prepared and stored in the refrigerator the night before. I might even try making it into a parfait by alternating the layers of quinoa with ricotta in a glass jar. Perfect to have waiting in the fridge for mornings where I don’t have time to make something. Hot, cold, or in a jar, this is definitely going to be one of my new breakfast staples!

Quinoa Orange Breakfast Bowl
Serves 1

½ cup cooked red quinoa
1 cup Mandarin orange slices
¼ cup nonfat ricotta cheese
2 Tbsp slivered almonds
½ Tbsp fresh orange zest
½ Tbsp fresh orange juice
1 tsp honey if desired

Cook quinoa to package instructions. Combine quinoa with orange slices, orange zest, orange juice, and slivered almonds. Top with ricotta cheese, and garnish with a pinch of orange zest and honey if desired. Enjoy warm.
Note: You can use 2 small fresh mandarin oranges, 1 cup of canned Mandarin orange slices (no sugar added), or slices of 1 tangerine or orange!
