ZUCCHINI FRITTERS
Looking for an easy way to make your meal special? Zucchini fritters are the perfect answer. They are a delicious side dish and are a fun way to use up summer zucchini. The most important part of making fritters is to squeeze as much water as possible from your zucchini, so when you think you’ve got it all, give it another squeeze.

BREAKFAST HASH
The need for variety in breakfast options is important when you are on a weight loss plan. Traditional American breakfasts offer a lot of variety, but mostly consist of high-carb meals that pack on the pounds and create a host of health issues. Don’t get caught up in mourning old foods that are unhealthy. Instead, choose to look at your breakfast food as a healthy fat-burning fuel to start your day and increase metabolism. Hash is simply vegetables, protein and fat diced and cooked together in a skillet. You can add a lot of variety by using any vegetable you like. Leftover roasted vegetables work great, as well. You can also chop vegetables ahead of time and keep them stored in the fridge.
BREAKFAST SAUSAGE HASH (with butternut squash)
Breakfast can be a challenge – if you don’t like vegetables in the morning. This recipe not only tastes amazing, but it’s a great way to add vegetables to your breakfast routine. Using leftover butternut squash from dinner makes it even easier with a mild, creamy texture that is perfect for even picky eaters (it’s similar to a sweet potato!). THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS. One, uses the Genesis ground turkey sausage recipe.
BREAKFAST VEGETABLE FRITTATA
Get ready to savor a delightful combination of flavors with this Breakfast Vegetable Frittata!

Bake until golden and set, and for those who enjoy a kick, a drizzle of Frank’s Hot Sauce after baking is highly recommended. Perfect as a stand-alone dish or paired with a side of fresh avocado, this frittata is the ultimate breakfast you won’t want to miss!
BREAKFAST ZUCCHINI AND ONIONS (with fried eggs on top)
Looking for a breakfast vegetable that doesn’t have a strong flavor? Zucchini may be your answer. Learning to eat vegetables at breakfast can be difficult for some people, especially if they are strong tasting. Zucchini is very mild and can easily take on the flavor of other things added to the dish. One of the best ways to enjoy this vegetable for breakfast is to top your serving with two fried over-easy or over-medium eggs (see NOTES). To make breakfast even quicker, make extra zucchini for dinner and just heat it up in the morning.
BROCCOLI AND TURKEY SAUSAGE FRITTATA
This recipe is not only easy and delicious for breakfast, brunch or dinner, but by making it ahead of time, it provides easy meals for another day. It can be hard to find a plan-approved turkey or chicken sausage that doesn’t have even a touch of pure cane sugar (like 2% or less for the entire package). As long as it is a very minimal ingredient you will be fine.
CAULIFLOWER HASHBROWNS
Many of you ask for different ways to eat a vegetable at breakfast. You won’t miss the potatoes with this delicious recipe. Just be sure not to flip them before they are nice and brown so that they release easily from the pan. If you do, don’t worry. Just pan fry them like hash browns that aren’t in a patty.
EASY HOMEMADE CHICKEN APPLE SAUSAGE
Tired of eggs for breakfast? This homemade breakfast sausage is easy to make, very affordable and provides more servings than a standard store-bought package of chicken or turkey sausage links or patties. You can make this recipe with either ground chicken or turkey – preferably dark meat, as it is juicier and more flavorful. Standard ground chicken and turkey usually is dark meat, but may not say so on the package; however, it will say if it is ground chicken breast (plus it will cost more). Don’t worry about counting the fruit, as it is a very small amount per serving.

FLAVORFUL BREAKFAST SAUSAGE
This sausage recipe was shared with Genesis by Lisa Coleman. She said it is “absolutely delicious,” and we have to agree. There are plenty of blended spices and herbs to create a flavor-packed breakfast, lunch or dinner. It would even be great pan-fried as a sausage crumble mixed with vegetables. If you don’t care for a particular spice/herb, just omit it; however, the paprika really is a big part of this recipe.

GRAIN-FREE HEMP HEART OATMEAL
While this very simple recipe packs a punch of protein for our GHS vegetarian & vegan clients, anyone can greatly benefit from it on the GHS weight loss plan. Most vegetarians are familiar with the ingredients in this recipe, but they are a fantastic nutrition source for anyone. Hemp seeds/hearts do not contain cannabinoids, which are found in cannabis. They have an earthy/nutty flavor and are a perfect/complete protein source. Flaxseeds are a great source of fiber and are high in omega-3’s and antioxidants; and Chia seeds, a very popular superfood, are a powerful blend of fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals and micronutrients.
