This was a great recipe, and I do recognize that it is similar to the one from the South Beach cookbook! They were DELICIOUS! My husband loved them, and was able to grab a couple to take on the road with him to work. For a little more flavor, I actually cooked the turkey bacon pieces, and when they were almost done, I added the peppers and onions. The onions were softer and almost caramelized, which made them SOOOO much tastier! We are on Phase 1, so we omitted the carrots, but did add garlic to the saute mixture. YUMMY!

This is a really good recipe for a quick breakfast on the go. I will reduce the spinach a bit next time as it seemed to be a bit much. I used the pre-cooked bacon bits in a bag. I think you could really play with the ingredients to change things up. Thx for sharing.<br/>(By the way, rated 5* but doesn't appear that the stars are "sticking" to my review.

This is a picture of me from about the time I started experimenting with cooking. Once I put peanut butter in Dream Whip (a Cool Whip type product you make from a powder with milk that was very popular in the Midwest when I was growing up) and invented peanut butter Dream Whip and tried to hide it in the back of the refrigerator. My mom found it and announced at dinner that I had made the most wonderful dessert topping! I think she put it on chocolate cake that night. It was very fun.
