Healthy Father's Day Brunch Menu

Father's day is just 2 days away! Surprise your dad (and the entire family) with this yummy menu without feeling guilty about the calories!!

  • Stuffed Eggs
  • Whole Wheat French Toasts
  • Mushroom Quesadillas
  • Mango Smoothie

Stuffed Eggs
Just cook your hard boiled eggs, cut in half and remove the yolks. Mix yolks with a little bit of fat free mayonaise (about 1/4 tsp per egg), some dijon mustard, and chopped chives. Pour back into eggs and sprinkle a little paprika over them for a fancy touch.

Whole Wheat French Toasts
Mix 1 egg, 1/4 cup skim milk, a couple of drops of vanilla extract and some cinnamon in a shallow plate. Place whole wheat bread in mixture for about 1 minute per side, and cook at medium heat in a skillet with cooking spray or a little bit of light butter. Sprinkle a few chopped pecans over the toasts before serving, and drizzle with a little honey or maple syrup.

Mushroom Quesadillas (my husband's favorite)
Sautee some onions and chopped mushrooms (natural, not canned) in a pan with a little bit of olive oil. Add a pinch of salt and oregano and set aside. Place one slice of fat free mozzarella cheese over a whole wheat tortilla (if using wrap tortillas then place another slice of cheese - enough to cover about half of the tortilla). Add the sauteed onions and mushrooms, fold and heat in a skillet until golden. 

Mango Smoothie
Pour one plain lowfat yogurt in your blender together with half a glass of ice, a chopped mango, a dollop of honey and about 1/4 cup skimmed milk, blend and serve! 
Try it with other fruits as well! (i.e. strawberries, mixed berries, banana)
