PB&B Sandwich
This peanut butter and banana sandwich is a healthier version of "The Elvis," since it was one of the King of Rock's favorite meals when topped with bacon. I added fresh blueberries on the side.
- Spread each half of a toasted whole wheat English muffin with 1 Tbsp peanut butter
- Top each half with 1/4 c sliced banana
- Eat as an open-faced sandwich with a side of 20 blueberries

Cheesy Eggs on Toast
Order this omelet at a diner or your favorite weekend breakfast spot. On a budget? Make this combo in your kitchen.
- Request an omelet made with 1 egg and 2 egg whites
- Fill it with spinach, tomatoes, and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella
- Eat with 2 slices of whole wheat toast (no butter!)

Ham and Cheese Frittata
Love ham and cheddar in your eggs? Whip up this satisfying frittata for a Sunday brunch. Making it at home will help you control portion size and resist high-calorie sides like bacon, sausage, or home fries.
- Peppers and onions add great flavor for few calories
- Swap the cheddar cheese for a low-fat version
- Leftovers are delicious warmed up or at room temperature
- Add 1 1/2 c of sliced cantaloupe for a sweet ending
Total calories: 396 Calories
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 8 slices (6 ounces) ham, chopped
- 8 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Directions
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large (12") nonstick skillet over low heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the ham and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a plate.
- Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in a medium-size bowl and the whites in a large bowl. Lightly beat the yolks with the water, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Beat the egg whites until they form stiff, but not dry, peaks. Fold the yolks into the whites.
- Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet over low heat. Pour in the eggs and spread them evenly with a rubber spatula. Scatter the ham mixture and cheese (if using) over the top, cover, and cook until the eggs are set, 25 to 30 minutes. Slide the frittata onto a plate and serve immediately (puffiness will subside in 5 to 7 minutes).
