Food & eating

[feuervogel]

I stopped eating the cereal I'd been having for several years because the quality control was really inconsistent AND I was tired of their OH NO GMO stuff on the packaging. I've been having baked oatmeal for a few weeks, and, while I enjoy it (pear & ginger is awesome), I'm always hungry. Even with the substitution of Greek yogurt for regular to get more protein. (I think it's the increase in carbs. Macronutrient balance is weird.)

So I'm poking around the internet for recipes for quick breakfast things that you can prepare in advance, put in the fridge, and reheat as needed, that revolve around eggs.


I found a recipe for mini frittatas that sounds nice and easy, but each one has 70 calories. SEVENTY. I want to get about 350 calories for breakfast. (The recipe notes that it's a "great grab-and-go breakfast!" I'm like "Yeah, I'll grab half of them and go.... Who the fuck can survive on 70 calories for breakfast?")

So anyway, if any of you can recommend easy egg-based *vegetarian* cook-ahead recipes, link me. (I mean, if the recipe uses sausage, I can substitute, so it's no big deal, but an egg baked in a cup made of a slice of deli ham isn't going to work.)

I found the same thing with oatmeal! When I had it for breakfast I'd be ravenous in no time. Now it's a late night snack.

I have no breakfast suggestions, alas. I normally end up soft-boiling a couple of eggs and taking them with wholegrain bread (to toast at work) and avocado or cheese.

I'm so glad it isn't just me! Like, I love the baked oatmeal thing. It tastes pretty good, and I can do it on Sunday afternoon and not worry about breakfast the whole week. But I'm so hungry all the time :/

The site where I got the oatmeal recipe also has egg-based breakfasts, so I'm trying a spinach-mushroom crustless quiche (baking it tomorrow afternoon). http://www.budgetbytes.com/2011/11/spinach-mushroom-feta-crustless-quiche/
