<br>Here's a multi-serving bowl of breakfast with a down-home spin -- we were inspired by a recipe made on Food Network's Down Home with the Neelys!
<br>
<br>Ingredients:
<br>1/2 cup quick-cooking grits
<br>1/4 tsp. salt, divided
<br>1/4 tsp. black pepper, divided
<br>2 wedges The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss cheese
<br>1/2 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
<br>1 cup chopped onion
<br>1 cup chopped mushrooms
<br>4 cups chopped spinach leaves
<br>6 slices center-cut bacon or turkey bacon
<br>2 cups fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
<br>1/4 tsp. garlic powder
<br>1/4 tsp. onion powder
<br>1 cup diced tomatoes
<br>Optional toppings: fat-free sour cream, chopped scallions
<br>
<br>Directions:

<br>In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil on the stove. Add grits, 1/8 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper.
<br>
<br>Reduce heat to lowest setting and stir. Cook until water has fully absorbed, about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
<br>
<br>Remove pot from heat. Thoroughly stir in cheese wedges, breaking them into pieces as you add them. Carefully transfer grits to a large serving dish or bowl. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese, cover, and set aside.
<br>
<br>Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Add onion, mushrooms, remaining 1/8 tsp. salt, and remaining 1/8 tsp. pepper. Stirring occasionally, cook until vegetables have browned and softened, about 6 minutes. Add spinach, mix well, and cook until just wilted, about 1 minute.
<br>
<br>Uncover serving dish/bowl and add veggies in an even layer; re-cover and set aside.
<br>
<br>Remove skillet from heat, re-spray, and bring to medium heat on the stove. Add bacon and cook for 4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.
<br>
<br>Remove skillet from heat and, if needed, clean and dry. Re-spray skillet and return to medium heat. Add egg substitute and sprinkle with garlic powder and onion powder. Scramble until fully cooked, about 5 minutes.
<br>
<br>Uncover serving dish/bowl, and add scrambled egg substitute in an even layer. Chop or crumble bacon and sprinkle over the eggs. Evenly top with tomatoes.
<br>
<br>If you like, top each serving with a dollop of sour cream and some chopped scallions. Fancy!

<br>Tropic-a-licious Fruity Blintzes
<br>
<br>PER SERVING (entire recipe, 2 blintzes): 188 calories, 3.5g fat, 378mg sodium, 29g carbs, 1g fiber, 21g sugars, 9g protein -- PointsPlus® value 5*
<br>
<br>We paired the sweet, cheesy goodness of blintzes with the freshness of pineapple and mango... all with HG-friendly stats. Woohoo!
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Ingredients:
<br>1 tbsp. low-sugar strawberry preserves
<br>2 tbsp. diced mango, fresh or thawed from frozen
<br>3 tbsp. fat-free cottage cheese
<br>1 tbsp. fat-free cream cheese, room temperature
<br>1/2 tsp. granulated sugar
<br>1 tbsp. shredded sweetened coconut
<br>1 tbsp. crushed pineapple in juice, lightly drained
<br>1 ready-to-use 9" dessert crepe (like the kind by Melissa's or Frieda's)
<br>Optional: Fat Free Reddi-wip
<br>
<br>Directions:
<br>In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine preserves with 1 tsp. water. Microwave for 10 seconds, or until just warm. Mix until uniform. Stir in mango and set aside.
<br>
<br>In another small bowl, combine cottage cheese, cream cheese, and sugar. Mix until creamy and well blended. Stir in coconut shreds and pineapple. Set aside.
<br>
<br>Gently tear or cut the crepe in half, and lay the halves flat with the cut sides at the top. Spoon half of the cheese mixture into center of each piece.
<br>
<br>One at a time, carefully wrap the halves up envelope-style, folding the sides in first and then the top and bottom. Carefully transfer to a plate, seam sides down.
<br>
<br>Microwave the preserves-mango mixture for 20 seconds, or until warm. Give it a stir and spoon over the blintzes. If you like, top with Reddi-wip. Yum!
