Southwest scramble and apple-cinnamon oatmeal

Breakfast came about 4 hours later than normal as I spent some q.t. with my cuties before my morning workout. As I'm likely only going to get 4 meals in today, breakfast was a bit bigger than normal in order to hit my desired macros.



Whew - just the total weight of this meal is about twice as heavy as I normally do these days...  I may need a nap after that.

[Note: No, those aren't happy pills - just my daily doses of Glucosamine, B-12 and Vitamin C]

Southwest scramble

1 egg, beaten
1 oz pulled pork
1/3 cup black beans
1 tablespoon fat-free cottage cheese
1/4 cup white onion, diced
1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
1 large jalepeno pepper, fine dice
1 small clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste

Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat.  Add onion and bell pepper - cook until onions just begin to become translucent.  Stir in garlic and jalapeno - cook until fragrant (1 min) then add the pork and beans.  Once heated through (1 1/2 - 2 min) add the eggs and season with salt and pepper.  Swirl pan to make sure the eggs run throughout rest of the mixture - when the eggs begin to set, sprinkle the cottage cheese curds across top.  After another minute, use a spatula to lightly scramble until eggs are set through. Serve immediately.

Apple-cinnamon oatmeal

1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp honey
1/8 cup raisins
1/2 Granny Smith apple, diced

Heat milk over medium high heat, being careful not to scald.  When it begins to steam, stir in the rest of the ingredients and reduce heat to medium, continuing to stir occasionally for another 5 minutes.  Reduce heat to medium low and allow oatmeal to cook to desired consistently (for me that was another 4 minutes or so).  Serve immediately.
