There is no picture for this but this is my favorite low carb breakfast!
Ham and Cheese Omelet with sour cream and Salsa!
Other ideas are:
Watermelon
Strawberries and cream
Scrambled eggs
Omelets with mushrooms
Omelets with Veggies
Fat Free Cocoa ( FYI if you look at the carb count on sugar free cocoa and fat free cocoa, surprisingly the fat free kind has about half the carbs, make sure you watch your labels) I add some table cream to the cocoa and that makes it delicious, but no longer fat free ;)
Sugar free breakfast drink. My favorite is Walmart brand grapefruit. Perfect to wake you up in the morning.
Bacon
Sausage
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day because I can get away with absolutely no carbs and be full and satisfied.
There are a few types of cereal that work. If you can find a bran cereal that is not sweetened the carb count is not terrible. Then add cream instead of milk and splenda or stevia.
A collection of low carb recipes that we really use. Eating low carb doesn't mean eating just meat and eggs. There are so many possibilities that eating low carb can be delicious and fun! As you can tell, these recipes call for ingredients that are probably in your kitchen right now.

Omelet Roll
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
¾ cup milk
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ teaspoon salt
12 eggs
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2¼ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
2 cups (about ¾ lb) finely chopped fully cooked ham (I processed ham in the food processor)
¼ cup chopped chives
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Line the bottom and sides of a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan with parchment paper; grease the paper and set aside.
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and milk until smooth. Add cornstarch and salt; mix until combined. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until blended. Add cream cheese mixture; mix well. Pour into prepared pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until eggs are puffed and set.
Meanwhile combine mustard, 2 cups of the cheese, ham and chives in a bowl, stir until well combined.
As soon as eggs come out of the oven spread ham mixture over eggs.
Roll up from a short side, peeling parchment paper away while rolling. Sprinkle top of roll with the remaining cheese; bake 3-4 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

BLUEBERRY PANCAKES
BLUEBERRY PANCAKES
2 egg yolks
2 egg whites
4 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or thawed frozen, 2 1/2 ounces or approximately 60 berries
Granular Splenda, optional (not included in counts)
In a small mixing bowl, soften the cream cheese in the microwave about 30 seconds. Separate the eggs, adding the yolks to the cream cheese. In another small mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff. Beat the yolks and cream cheese until creamy and a bit fluffy. Fold yolks into the whites, gently so you don't deflate the whites. Heat some oil in a large, non-stick skillet on medium heat.
Drop the batter by large tablespoonfuls into the hot oil. Immediately drop 6-7 blueberries on each pancake. Gently push them into the batter with your finger. This helps to keep them from falling out when you flip them. When nicely browned on the bottom, flip them over and cook until browned on the other side. Flip them back over before removing so you don't lose any berries when serving. Repeat to make a total of 9 pancakes, adding more oil to the pan as needed. Serve each with 1/8 teaspoon of Splenda sprinkled over the top, if desired.
