Breakfast Cups

I love breakfast food, but I get tired of the same thing over and over again.  These little breakfast cups are a fun way to incorporate traditional breakfast foods in a new way.  What I love about them is that they are easy to customize, so each person can add the ingredients they like.  Whereas I filled mine with veggies, my hubby would probably love a "meat-lovers" version.

Here's What You Need:

3 cups refrigerated shredded hash browns 

6 eggs, scrambled

1/4 cup mushrooms, chopped

1/8 cup onions, diced

1/8 cup green bell peppers, diced

1/8 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped

1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Here's What You Do:

Spray 6 cups in a muffin tin with cooking spray.

Divide the hash browns evenly between the six cups, pressing into the bottom and up the sides of each cup.

Bake the hash brown cups at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

Mix the vegetables in a bowl and divide evenly into each of the six hash brown cups.  Divide the scrambled egg mixture between the six cups.  Sprinkle the top of each with cheddar cheese.

Put back in the oven and cook for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown on top.

Remove the cups by sliding a knife around the edge of each cup to loosen.

Easy Apple Turnovers

Lately, I have been buying giant bags of apples so that I have healthy and easy snacks.  I find that I get very tired of eating just plain apples, so I decided to put my apples to good use with these Easy Apple Turnovers.

Here's What You Need:

1 can of crescent rolls

1 apple (any variety, I used Granny Smith)

2 tsp honey

1 tsp cinnamon

Here's What You Do:

Roll out your crescent rolls so that you have two triangles still connected to make a rectangle.  You will have 4 of these rectangles.

Slice apples thinly.  Coat slices in a bowl with honey and cinnamon.

Layer apple slices on one half of rectangle.  Fold other half of dough over and pinch around the edges.  Lightly baste with remaining honey/cinnamon mixture.

Bake according to directions for crescent rolls (mine was 375F for 13 minutes).

Easy to do, and only around 250 calories!  Not bad for a breakfast!
