Thanks wrkinprogress - I like the idea of adding cottage cheese. Excellent!

Just had my orientation today!! Just wondering what people's wait times were in Hamilton and what their experience was like.
Good morning Ginny and gang. Ginny I hope they figure out what's going on with that knee.
I'm still sick. I will stay on fluids and light food today and get lots of rest.
Ginny your menu looks really yummy.

Good morning all. I'm glad to see you held off this morning until you see the sports medicine team. Crossing my fingers that they figure it out and put a program in place to get you all healed up!
B - Greek yogurt
S - 1/2 protein shake
L - 2 chicken skewers, SF pudding with protein powder
S - cheese string
D - chicken breast, mushrooms with bit of mushroom soup
S - 1/2 protein shake

This is similar to Ginny's recommendation.
I have all the ingredients to try the egg bites in my instant pot but haven't tried making them yet. They are super packed with protein as the recipe includes eggs, cottage cheese, greek yogurt and whatever meat or veggie you want to add.
Apparently you can freeze them and just microwave as you need them.

This past weekend I made sausage egg cups. I used 10 eggs, 3 sausages (removed the case) and cooked them up crumbled, red pepper, green onion and 75 grams shredded cheddar. I mixed it all together and poured it into 6 large muffin tins. Cooked for about 25 mins at 350. Yummers.
Alternatively, I've also made them (in regular muffin tins) using 2 slices of deli ham, then just some shredded cheese in the bottom and crack an egg on top. I break the yolk and then cook them. Line the muffin cup with the 2 slices of ham.
Good morning everyone! Spring has sprung, temporarily! But I'll take it! Was going to go to the gym this morning but thought I better wait at least one more day as I go to the Sports Medicine Clinic this afternoon. My knee is feeling better and the swelling has gone done somewhat but I still can send shooting pains through my knee if I turn/twist the wrong way or try to use it as my dominate leg for stairs. Hopefully they can figure out something at my appointment.
B - sausage egg cup with red pepper, gr onion and cheese - YUMMO
S - greek yogurt, pineapple
L - 2 mini chicken fajitas, sour cream, cheese, small garden salad
S - Pepperette and cheese stick (in the truck)
D - chicken taco bake
Have a great day everyone!
EDITED: my pepper wasn't wired, it was red!!
Hello All.
Any breakfast ideas to share? My main choices are as follows, but always looking for some new ideas:
- Overnight oatmeal with Stevia/or sugar free maple syrup (sometimes throw in 2 raspberries - yum!)
- hard boiled egg with a sugar free yogurt
- WW English muffin (good protein in it) with 1 tbsp. peanut butter and 1 tsp sugar free jam (1/2 for breakfast, 1/2 for morning break)
- Sugar free, 5 gr protein bread with egg and cheese (my Sat morning treat while reading a book)
- PC protein pancakes with sugar free syrup or sugar free jam
- 1/2 hour after eating, I enjoy a large decaf coffee - now that was hard getting use to, not eating and drinking my coffee at same time!
Have a great week!
Sunny

I had to chew it really thoroughly. And be sure it's moist.
