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.

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.
