Non Vegetarian Breakfast :-
I'm sure that someone probably told you when you were growing up that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Guess what? They weren't lying to you. It's important to get that first meal in. And, the good news for vegetarians is that breakfast is the easiest meal to find healthy meatless options for, even healthy fast food options that are meatless. If you want a vegetarian breakfast that's low in fat and fast, here are some great tips:

| Corn chowder Ingredients: 1 medium onion, peeled and diced; 1 potato, peeled and cubed; 350 gm canned corn kernels or frozen corn (boiled); 60 ml chicken stock; 300 ml curd or cream; 1 tbsp parsley, chopped; salt; freshly ground pepper. Method: Add onions in a frying pan and fry for a minute. Add the potato cubes and stir. Then add half the corn to the chicken stock and season. Bring to boil and simmer for 3 minutes. Allow cooling slightly and liquidizing the soup in a blender or food processor. Return to the saucepan and stir in the curd or cream and the remaining corn. Heat through over low heat. You can add Tabasco and additional seasoning. Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley. Chicken, corn & spinach bake Ingredients: 2 tbsp olive oil; 4 boneless chicken fillets, cut into 2.5 cm chunks; 225 gm button mushrooms, halved; 250 gm mushroom sauce; garlic; salt and pepper to taste Method: Preheat the oven to 220oC. Heat oil in a frying pan. Add chicken and corn. Stir occasionally, cook for 10 minutes until brown. Add the mushrooms and cook for another two minutes. Add spinach and mushroom sauce and season with garlic, salt and pepper. Simmer for nearly 10 minutes and then place in a baking dish. Sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Serve hot. Non Vegetarian Tips Use light mayonnaise instead of regular mayonnaise in your holiday recipes. But you can shave even more calories and fat by blending 1/2 cup of light mayonnaise with 1/2 cup of fat-free sour cream for every 1 cup of mayonnaise called for. You'll then cut around 1058 calories and 136 grams of fat for every 1 cup of regular mayonnaise called for. Choose whole grain and lower-fat bread and cracker products to accompany your holiday appetizers to increase the fiber and take down the fat. Using reduced-fat Triscuits, for example, instead of regular, will cut around 30 calories and 3 grams of fat per seven-cracker serving. |
