Earl Cooks Breakfasts on My Low Carb Quest

Breakfast has always been my favorite meal and according to studies, it may be yours too! I have always loved preparing breakfast for others, especially my grandboys, but for myself I have often been lazy. I would keep on hand cold cereal or instant oatmeal for when I didn't want to ACTUALLY cook for just one.

NOW, however, I am on a carb restricted diet due to a recent diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, and my plan is to find as many of the low-carb eats I can without sacrificing flavor or too many of the foods I love.

Fortunately for me, my favorite meal is also MOSTLY low-carb! Eggs, bacon, sausage, ham...but alas, pancakes, waffles, toast, tortillas are mostly too loaded with carbs (I still sneak a slice of bread for toast now and then)!

The photo above  reflects just 6 of the many breakfasts I have undertaken recently in my low carb cooking. 

• Top left: A steamed egg on cauliflower risotto with a dollop of Hollandaise.
• Top right: "Baked In Belgium" Waffles from Trader Joe's, topped with fresh berries, sugar free maple syrup and a bit of whipped cream.
• Center left: Eggs, bacon and sausage with a slice of "Dave's Killer Bread" (buttered with real butter of course).
• Center right: Captain "Len's Smoked Sausage" with 3 perfectly cooked extra large eggs and of course, black pepper.
• Bottom left: Loaded scrambled eggs with sweet cherry tomatoes on the side.
• Bottom right: Omelette Scramble - not a true omelette, just loaded with goodness like one.

Not all of these are as low carb as some may want, but all of them are under 30gm of carbs and are tasty and filling.

I have a way to go before I am satisfied. I want to feel like I am eating food as good tasting as it is good for me...and YOU TOO!
