Low Carb Pancakes - Almond Meal
I actually think these low carb pancakes taste better than the old white flour kind. Almond meal is healthier as well.

Easy Flax Breakfast Pudding
This "pudding" can be put together in the microwave in 3-4 minutes. You can add berries or other "mix-ins" - I have lots of suggestions. The flax gives it lots of fiber and good fat, plus a nice nutty flavor.

Bacon and Egg Casserole Recipe

Denver Casserole
This is like a large Denver (or "Western") omelet, and is great as a main dish for dinner or brunch. Leftovers make a nice quick breakfast.
