Moratorium Lounge Open for Brunch

#1 Post by christie1111 » Thu Sep 11, 2008 7:24 am

But since we are all trying to be a little health conscious, it has been made with waistlines and chloesterol levels in mind!

Healthy Breakfast Buffet

Assorted Fresh Fruit

Sliced Cantaloupe, Honey Dew, Watermelon and Casaba melon (very artfully arranged, I might add!)

Strawberries, Blueberries and beautifully plump blackberries

Yogurt Parfait bar (right next to the berries)

Plain, lemon and vanilla yogurts
Homemade Granola
Walnuts and pecans
Chopped fresh peaches
Sliced Bananas
Raisins, Sultanas and dried currants
Orange Blossom Honey

Muffins (made with calories and fat content in mind)

Blueberry-Lemon
Honey Oat Bran
Banana Walnut

Fresh fruit juices including freshly squeezed orange, ruby red grapefruit and cranberry

I usually have a protein shake and a grapefruit for breakfast. I was bad bad today and had a bowl of Cheerios and a greasy egg and bacon breakfast burrito. So I think I'm done with breakfast for today...

Then again, maybe Hello Kitty should lay off the hooch and try a little more fiber.

And if we're keeping beer as a vegetable, we can add the corn sqeezin's while we're at it!

Looks like I arrived just in time. I'll have some of those wonderful strawberries and a serving of the casserole. To drink - a glass of orange juice.

I have a recipe for a low fat trifle that would go quote well with this menu.

I'll bring that.

Egg and sausage casserole:

INGREDIENTS:
1 pound pork sausage
1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
12 eggs, beaten
½ cup of milk
1 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Optional: Mushrooms, Goat Cheese

DIRECTIONS:
Place sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble, and set aside.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Line the bottom of the prepared baking dish with crescent roll dough, and sprinkle with crumbled sausage. In a large bowl, mix beaten eggs, milk and cheese. Season the mixture with oregano, and pour over the sausage and crescent rolls.

Bake 45 to 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

(I often make this dish with Mushrooms. I microwave them for about two or three minutes, drain them , then add them to the egg mixture after it’s beaten. Maddie doesn’t like Mushrooms, so she usually picks them out. I also slice small clumps of Chevre (goat cheese) into the mixture, but I know that not everyone is a fan of “stinky cheese.” This dish can be assembled the night before and popped into the oven.)
