Chantal Egg Muffin

So I have figured out a plan... and let me tell you.... it's all about planning... to make dinners work.

Monday night- Brent BBQ's meat
Tuesday night- Crockpot something or Stirfry
Wednesday night- funky 'dinner' sandwhich/wrap
Thursday night- omelette or egg fun
Friday night- pita pizza night
Saturday night- mexican or burger night
Sunday night- soupy sundays!

This is my plan, now sometimes it doesn't work, sometimes we add pasta in there, of course there are always veggies and salad on top of that... but that is my plan. And guess what, Brent has become a great little sous chef. He is following recipes, asking what ingredients are and if we don't have them what to substitute for them... I just love it. I am the planner and he shops for the ingredients on the list, and we cook together.... ahhhh, isn't that love... and team work. Well you've got to do this to make it work in a busy house where I work full time, have appointment on Tuesday night, Mella's got activities on Wednesday and Thursday night and we have to go for at least 4 walks a week.... See what I mean? So here you have it, my take on a healthy Egg McMuffin... and it's soooooo fast for those busy activity nights.
 

Chantal Egg Muffin

Ingredients- for 1 sandwhich
1 whole wheat english muffin
1 egg
1 slice of light cheddar
2 slices of turkey bacon

I used the Blue Menu Whole Wheat English Muffins. Toast your English Muffin.

Cook 2 slices of turkey bacon in a pan until crisp.

Spray a litte Pyrex cup with Pam and crack an egg into it and scramble it a little.

Microwave it for a little less than 1 minute, put a paper towel over it, as it will pop.

Now, assemble it. Put the cheese on the warm English muffin and the egg on top of that, so that it melts and put the folded turkey bacon on the other half and then slap it all together.... do you like that word slap? Just serve with a nice green salad and you have a complete dinner with all the food groups.
