Breakfast Lasagna

This is a new spin on a classic lasagna and it's a great weekend breakfast. You can also mix and match with a variety of flavors. Try using goat cheese and fresh herbs, or go Tex- Mex with Chorizo and some sour cream and salsa - the sky's the limit so have fun with it!

Serves 6

• 8 eggs, scrambled
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 12 sausage links, fully cooked
• 12 cream cheese pancakes (unsweetened)

Cover the bottom of an 8 x 8 pan with 4 pancakes, it's OK if they overlap. Put down a layer
of scrambled eggs, followed by a layer of cheese. Cover with another 4 pancakes. Add all
of the sausage links. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Add last layer of pancakes, followed by scrambled eggs, and the remainder of the cheese. You can use more cheese if you like. Bake or microwave until the cheese is melted – about 3 - 4 minutes in the microwave, or 8 – 10 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees (F). Cut into squares and serve.

Breakfast in a Glass (Mix Fruits Smoothie)

Bananas are high in potassium, have fibre and protein, but are high in fructose. They are
however a natural fruit and a "food" so eaten in moderation, especially for breakfast when you have a busy morning ahead of you is okay. If not, leave out the banana and go for a berry smoothie instead! Try squeezing your own fruit juices.

Ingredients:
•1 1/4 cups natural orange juice
•1/2 ripe small banana, peeled and sliced (12g of sugar per 100g and 23g of carbs, but 2.6g in dietary fibre)
•1 1/2 cups frozen berries such as blueberries or raspberries
•1/2 cup silken tofu (optional - it has 2.7g of sugar per 100g and 1.9g of carbs)
•a few ice cubes, crushed

Directions:
Mix orange juice, banana, berries, tofu & crushed ice until smooth and frothy. Very tasty – brimming with soy protein, fibre and a host of other nutrients. Give this smoothie the party look by decorating with an umbrella, straw and slice of fruit.
