My Crazy Breakfasts- Turkey Chili & Zoodles

Turkey Chili with Low-Fat Cottage Cheese and Red Onions

Zucchini Noodles, "Zoodles"

My Crazy Breakfasts...I've been told many times that my breakfast choices are "interesting" and also that my creative healthy eating was inspiring.  One of my favorite breakfasts is leftovers from the night before, usually some lean protein and veggies.  One of my favorite leftovers is turkey chili.

I'm sharing some of the things that I have found in my journey to body happiness and weight wellness because people often ask me about it and I want to share what has worked for me and hopefully help others.

I've always been very good at eating and tend more toward lunch than breakfast. In my younger, less healthy days, pizza was a favorite morning food. Now, I still may have those same flavors, just in a redesigned package.

Today, I went for turkey chili zmac topped with small dollops of creamy cottage cheese and punchy chopped red onions. The zmac, was zucchini spiralized noodles (zoodles). Most of it was leftover from dinner the night before, so it was speedy. It was quick to spiralize some zoodles.

Vegetables abound in this crazy breakfast. Tomatoes, kidney beans, red onions, and zucchini. My chili is healthy with beans, ground turkey, onions, tons of tomatoes and chilis. Spiced with chili powder, garlic, cumin, red pepper, salt, pepper and monk fruit with stevia.
