Any ideas? Thank you...Debi

Sometimes I think one just needs a new recipe. I started making Thai omelets and filling them with baba ganoush (low carb) or hummus (not so low carb) and seem to be able to eat them forever. Or you can put hot sauce on it, Sirachi or Sambul Olek are both good, but any sort works. I've made Thai peanut sauce in the past and used that, very good.
Thai omelet is: 2-3 eggs, beat with a fork, add about 1 Tbl of water, squirt in 1-2 tsp of fish sauce, beat to mix. Then pour it into a pan with hot oil and cook it. I flip it when the first side is starting to brown. The water makes bubbles form which makes the omelet kind of puffy and light.
The fish sauce doesn't taste like fish, just gives a salty umami flavor. Don't use too much or it'll be too salty.
You can eat anything for breakfast. I have had salads for breakfast, or leftover stew. The other day I think I had coconut flour cookies. Coconut flour is pretty much just fiber. The sweetener was splenda. So the only calorie source came from the 1/2 stick of butter I used in making the cookies.
One morning I had vanilla SF custard with blueberries and whipped cream. That made a really nice breakfast! This morning... hmmm, I made a batch of lemon custard and still have some blueberries left. But the omelet is calling my name too.
