Menu Plan Monday 5/16

I know that I have not been very consistent with my posting...Sorry. My husband and I are trying to eat healthier so I feel like our meals are not too desirable. As I searched for more healthy recipes this week I realized that there was a lack of them on blogs. So I am going to make an effort to share some of them with you.

Monday- Healthy French Toast

Ingredients

• 8 egg whites
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup skim milk
• 4 slices whole-wheat bread
• Cooking spray
• Sugar-free syrup

Preparation

Whisk egg whites, vanilla, nutmeg and milk together. Dip each slice of whole-wheat bread in the egg mixture and brown on each side in a nonstick pan sprayed with cooking spray. Top with a little sugar-free syrup and serve with turkey sausage or scrambled eggs.
