Serves: 1

Ingredients:
1 frozen hash brown patty
1 egg
1 tablespoon whole milk
pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, divided
Mexican shredded cheese blend, such as: Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Asadero, and Queso Quesadilla cheese, to taste
1 slice bread that is not made with an enriched flour
organic fruit spread (I used Concord grape and strawberry. The brand I buy has 7g sugar in 1 tablespoon.)
1 frozen microwaveable sausage link
cottage cheese

Directions:
Bake hash brown patty according to package directions. Whisk together egg, milk, and pepper. Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add egg mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until eggs are light and fluffy. Sprinkle with cheese and stir until melted. Toast bread. Microwave 1/2 tablespoon butter in a microwave-safe dish for 40 seconds or until melted. Brush toast with butter and spread with a thin layer of fruit spread. Microwave sausage according to package directions. Serve with cottage cheese. Have with a glass of water.

Serves: 1

Ingredients:
1/8 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup diced ham (I like to use a fully cooked hickory smoked ham steak. According to the package directions, it can be heated up in the microwave in a covered dish with 1/4 cup water for 4 minutes. If your grocery store doesn’t sell that, any cooked ham will work.)
1 serving size frozen macaroni and cheese, preferably organic

Directions:
Put frozen peas and cooked ham in a bowl. Microwave macaroni and cheese according to package directions. When done, put piping hot macaroni and cheese into the bowl with the peas and ham. Stir to combine. Have with a glass of water.

Have with a good source of protein and a glass of water.
