Who doesn’t love scrambled eggs? I know, you usually have them with toast but, I promise you, these eggs are so good you won’t even miss the carb-laden bread. If you DO want toast, by all means have a slice or maybe a half and English muffin but remember, that could add 10 or more grams of carbs to your breakfast which is okay if you are off the gym but not so good if you are off to your office.

Ingredients – Serves four
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped

Directions
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender, 12 to 14 minutes.

oopsies are a great substitute for bread. I Always make them with a handful of sharp cheese and herbs. Nothing like breadvofcourse but I really like them and you can use them with anything. And tweak them with other cheeses, ne herbs, stevia, cinnamon etc.
