Man, I love breakfast.  I'd eat it all day if I thought I could get away with it.  I generally start looking forward to breakfast just after dinner the night before.  So imagine my relief when I discovered that breakfast is just about the easiest meal to make in zone proportions.  Here are two of our favorite quick-and-easy recipes we've spent the last few weeks honing to perfection.  Enjoy!

Four-block scrambled eggs, toast and fruit

3 eggs
1 oz grated cheese (monterey or colby)
2 slices sprouted flax bread from TJ's (15g carbs for two slices!)
1 apple (or any 2 blocks of fruit)
1.3 tsp butter

Scramble the eggs with the cheese in a little bit of butter, saving the rest of the butter for the toast.  Quarter and core the apple.

Three blocks of the best damn oatmeal, ever

Rebecca cannot get enough of this one.

3 blocks oatmeal (1/2c rolled or 1/4c steel cut), cooked with water
1/2c cottage cheese
1 slice bacon, fried crispy
1 tsp butter

Make the oatmeal per the instructions on the package.  Melt the butter into the hot oatmeal.  Chop the bacon into small bits and stir into the oatmeal with the cottage cheese.  Make little noises of appreciation and do a little happy dance in your chair.

If you want to make it four blocks, add a block of fruit, 1/4c cottage cheese or another slice of bacon and a little more butter (or cut back on the butter and use walnuts instead).
