Orange Drink

This is a favorite drink for our Sunday morning breakfasts.   It reminds me of the orange julius drinks that I used to get at the mall.   Feel free to experiment and substitute another type of frozen juice.

Ingredients:
  • 1 can (6 oz) frozen orange juice, slightly defrosted
  • 1 C water
  • 1 C milk
  • 1/2 C sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 - 12 ice cubes
Combine all ingredients in a blender.  Cover and process until drink is thick and slushy.

Egg White Scrambled Eggs

One of my favorite family traditions is Sunday morning breakfast.  Regardless of our schedules, we try to sit down for breakfast every Sunday morning.    Waffles and pancakes top the kid's favorites, but my husband prefers eggs.  Since he has cholesterol issues, I switched to only using egg whites for scrambled eggs and omelets, and initially found it to be not as flavorful.  After a little experimentation, I found that adding feta cheese was delicious.   As a side note, I give our dog 1 -2 of the beaten egg yolks to help his coat.

Ingredients:
4 egg whites
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp onion salt
1/4 tsp Mrs. Dash original (optional)
1/4 C 1% or skim milk
1 T feta cheese

Whisk the egg whites, pepper, salt, Mrs. Dash and milk.  Spray a pan with non-stick cooking spray and heat to medium.  Add egg mixture and whisk in pan.  When eggs are about half way done cooking, add the feta cheese.  Continue to whisk until the eggs are cooked and fluffy.
