Tonight I had breakfast for dinner. I used to love breakfast food anytime of day (can we say pancakes -- ihop? -- dennys? - yep, yummy anytime) but that was back before my lifestyle change, and I no longer eat pancakes anytime really. BUT I do eat a lot of eggs, and tonight I didn't quite know what to fix myself for dinner. This is what I came up with. This would make an excellent breakfast too. It's pretty quick, and very simple. THIS is the way everyone should start their day!!
2 eggs
3 servings liquid egg whites (9 tbsp)
1 cup spinach
2 tbsp salsa
1/4 cup white kidney beans - drained/rinsed
1/8-1/4 cup lentils, cooked
1/4 cup turkey sausage (I used Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Crumbles)
chopped onion (to taste, I used about a tbsp)
chopped mushrooms (To taste, I used 2 medium mushrooms)
Heat frying pan over med-high heat. Sautee sausage, beans & lentils. Season if desired. I used Perfect Pinch savory seasoning. Sautee for about 5 minutes, be careful not to let anything stick. Remove from heat, and place in a dish off to the side. Top with Salsa. Return frying pan to stove, and spray with non stick spray. Sautee onions & mushrooms for about a minute or two. Add in eggs & egg whites. Scramble/cook until done. Then add in spinach, and cook until wilted (1-2 minutes). Top with a little s&p if desired.

I personally love eating breakfast any time of day. I've really worked hard to detach "time stamps" on foods.

My sister eats a turkey sandwich on whole wheat with avocado and a slice of cheese for breakfast several times a week. She swears by it!
