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.)

Hi there!

That's the kind of thing I've been looking for, but they still seem a bit too light? The addition of bread may help, though, and cheese. (I love cheese. Cheese on all the things!)

I'm trying a crustless quiche this week, and if I cut it into quarters it should be about the right amount of food. But that's only 4 days' worth of food, so... I'd do huevos rancheros, but I don't want to have to cook an egg every morning to put on it. Actually, hey, do you think the egg pucks would work for that? Reheat, chop up, and toss on top a pile of black beans?

We always put cheese in, so sure-I just wasn't sure if you eat cheese. And I don't see why they wouldn't work on a pile of black beans.
