Ingredients:
1 zucchini
1/4 bell pepper
Three slices from a leek
1 slice of sandwich ham
1 small tomato
Juice of half a lemon or lime
cayenne pepper or hot sauce (optional)
2 or 3 eggs, depending on how hungry you are!
kosher salt
crushed black pepper

Instructions:
Chop the zucchini and bell pepper and saute. While they are cooking, chop the leeks and add them to the pan. Toss all the veggies around a bit to get them all cooked to your liking. Chop and add ham if you like ham. Place a lid on the veggies and chop the tomato. Slice the lemon.

Put the eggs and veggies on a plate. Squirt the lemon juice on top (this gives you a wonderful zippy taste that does a fantastic job replacing cheese, and it’s healthier too!). Add something spicy if you like and enjoy.

I’ve been making this meal for myself for breakfast almost every morning this past week. It is gluten, dairy, and soy free, but you don’t feel deprived because it tastes wonderful and fills you up! It’s also a great meal for dieting including Atkins, Weight Watchers, South Beach, The Zone, and Mediterranean. If you want to cut calories, use only the egg whites. With all these flavors you won’t notice the difference. Just add extra egg whites if you are really hungry. Use this recipe to get full in the morning. It will sustain you well until lunch and it’s guilt free!

I am currently trying to avoid all gluten, dairy and soy products. Recently I had some serious back and abdominal or stomach pain. With a little research, I learned that nearly every medical problem I have could possibly be due to a gluten intolerance, so I’m trying hard to simply NOT eat gluten. It’s not easy, but this recipe is a great step in the right direction!
