Why I Keep this Blog

When I first discovered my dietary restrictions, I felt deprived, but then I discovered that all Baby Boomers, in fact people of most ages, should probably be eating the same way to ensure a long, healthy life, and that I can still eat and cook very good food.

I don't even bother to go down many isles of the grocery store any more. Most of what I cook and eat is fresh. Very, very little is pre-prepared, and anytime I buy anything already processed, I read the label to inspect every ingredient that goes into it before it goes into me.

But I eat very well. These are recipes that fit into my diet. If you enjoy them, welcome to my collection. Cheers!

The Answer to My Travel Breakfast Problem: Egg Muffins

Larysa at Self Magazine posted the basis for this recipe on Facebook for a lunch idea.


But I'm driving for three days, starting Sunday morning, taking my son to get him settled in college. Although I'm staying in hotels that provide a free breakfast, I won't be able to eat them on my diet. My son will, though! I was wondering how I was going to handle breakfasts on the road.







I'll make some of Larysa's Egg Muffins (with eggbeaters and a few of my own touches) and pack them in a cooler to take. Since I'm flying back, I'll take a collapsible cooler, and maybe just leave it with my son. He may be able to use it at school.


Pour one small carton of eggbeaters into a bowl and add

  • 1/2 cup of asparagus or broccoli
  • 1/2 cup low fat shredded cheese
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • Crumbled turkey bacon if desired



Pour into 12 muffin tins (I'm not really sure how much this recipe will make) and bake at 350 for 20 mins.
