Baked Egg with Spinach

I love eggs and I love cooking with spinach so this meal is a favorite .  It's very easy to make .  It is also very healthy and only 90 calories.  I eat with with either a half of an english muffin or a piece of toast with butter.





Here's what you need to make this:

-oven safe dish with sides
-large egg
-2 cups spinach
-light cooking spray


1. pre-heat oven to 350

2 . cook spinach in a frying pan using the cooking spray until wilted (you can also add some garlic)

3. spray oven safe dish with cooking spray

4. put the spinach in the dish leaving a space in the middle






5. crack the egg so it sits in the middle of the spinach


6. place dish in in oven for 15-20 min. (depending on the size of your dish you can put it on
    baking sheet so it's easier to take in and out of the oven)


Enjoy

Oatmeal Fruit Smoothie

  I was looking for a smoothie recipe for breakfast that had oats in it. Every one I found used uncooked oats. I do like the taste of the oats uncooked in a smoothie, but the amount used made it high in calories. After some experimenting I figured out a recipe using cooked quick outs that is low in calories and filling.  A 1/4 cup cooked oats makes 1 cup when cooked, making the smoothie thicker. To save time in the mornings, I cooked the oats the night before and put it in the fridge.



Oatmeal Fruit Smoothie

-1 cup cooked oats (1/4 cup uncooked, cooked with a cup of water)
-1/2 tbsp liquid honey
-1/2 banana
-3/4 cup almond milk
-1/2 cup frozen or fresh fruit.





Mix all ingredients in blender and serve.

Makes 1 serving.
