[quote=Anonymous]Regarding the breakfast conundrum, my solution after I ran out of new and innovative variations of eggs (!!!) was to broaden my conception of what breakfast food is.  Turns out nice meat and low starch veggies left over from last night's dinner are both fast and just like pizza taste really nice the next day.  Pot roast for breakfast ... Yay!  But I draw the line at salad for breakfast ...

But back to eggs ... Eggs florentine are nice.  Sautéed a small amount of onion and a clove of garlic in olive oil, the add 1/4 package thawed and drained frozen spinach and two or three scrambled eggs and scramble to your liking.  Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.  Yum.

Sausage cooked with just a half of a large bell pepper (or one fourth of two peppers of different color) with a bit of chopped green onions makes a nice filling dish ... You can add scrambled eggs but it is good without too ... Just be sure to drain the sausage well of course.

Salmon lox with cream cheese eaten on cucumber slices instead of crackers and sprinkled with a few capers.

Cooked crumbled bacon added to mushrooms sautéed in butter, then stir in 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream and warm through ... Pour over a couple poached eggs.  Sprinkle just a few chopped green onions on top if you wish.

High fat Brie wedge (3 oz) served with a thin slice of cantelope and one fourth cup of blueberries.  This one doesn't fill me up nearly as well as the others, but it is a nice fresh alternative.

Deviled eggs are a nice quick grab and go ... 4 to 6 halves with the filling made from canola mayo, a bit of Dijon mustard, and topped with a pretty sprinkle of paprika and a half green olive.  Yum.

Hope this helps.  I found that once I solved my breakfast problem, lunch and dinner variety were not so hard to solve.  The "good news" with diabetes is that you now have all the motivation in the world to eat as healthy as you can.  Good luck![/quote]
