Goulash & Breakfast

Monday, May 17th, 2004

I need a recipe for goulash. I also need breakfast ideas. Breakfast is
hard for me. My diabetic eduacator told me to use Carnation Instant
Breakfast(with my Dr. approval of course) and thats what I’ve been
doing but every so often I do want food for breakfast and a boring
bowl of cereal just won’t cut it. Thanks in advance.

BTW I’m new here as well. I’m not good at sharing recipes but sure
appreciate those that do.

Muffin-Tin Crab Cakes
Eating Well Magazine December/January 2006
Active time: 20 minutes | Total: 40 minutes

1 pound crabmeat
2 cups fresh whole-wheat breadcrumbs (see Tip)
1/2 red bell pepper, minced
3 scallions, sliced
1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 large eggs
