This is a breakfast that will give you energy to burn later. Go oats!
Plus you can dress your oats up by adding your favorite fruits or berries. Mmm, blueberries! This is another great reason (besides pancakes) to keep frozen blueberries on hand. Just toss them in during step one and they will heat while your oats cook.
What you need:
1 cup of Oatmeal
1 to 1-1/3 cups of water (or milk to make it creamier)
1 egg
1-3 teaspoons of cinnamon (to taste)
**optional** blueberries, apples, whatever...to taste! XD
Step 1. Microwave a cup of regular oatmeal with the water, on high for 2.5 minutes.
**Add frozen fruit here.
Step 2. Remove and add the egg in your oat. Stir vigorously to evenly disperse the egg. It should look cloudy.
Step 3. Stir in your cinnamon (no sugar).
Step 4. Microwave for another 2.5 minutes.
Step 5. Remove and add some milk (to make it a creamier, and slightly less sticky concoction) and anything else you want. You can add some fruit or real maple syrup.
Catyra writes, "You now have whole grains, two sources of protein, and nutrients from any toppings you added. Serve with orange juice for added morning kick and day-long energy. Best thing is, all natural and healthy.
Just don't add any sugar or anything containing corn syrup or you've just counteracted the whole purpose of the meal."

Strawberry Shortcakes with Real Whipped Cream in under 5 minutes!
Summertime is here, and strawberries are in season. This is a super fast dessert to make.
I saw a few local vendors selling these strawberries on the side of the road, and had to stop! :)
What you need:
1-2 Strawberries per cake
1 strawberry shortcake/sponge cake (You will often find these right next to the strawberries in the grocery store.)
~2 tablespoons of whipped cream per cake
Step 1. Make your whipped cream. You can use the canned stuff, but why would you?! Fill the shortcake with approximately 2 tablespoons of whipped cream.
Step 2. Cut 1-2 strawberries (depending on their size) longways. Add to the cake.
Step 3. Decorate the cake any way you like. For example, a delicious chocolate truffle in the center will make this a decadent dessert.
I sprinkled a little cinnamon on one cake, and place a mint leaf on the other. Be as creative as you'd like.
**Tip** If you are making these for guests, don't forget to stick them into the fridge until you are ready to serve them.

Real Whipped Cream, Really Fast
If you have never tasted real whipped cream then you are in for a treat.
I used this recipe to make some strawberry shortcakes, and with some of the left over whipped cream, I made my coffee into a treat. You could also just dipped your fruits into the cream for a lower-carb, reduced sugar treat.
Each cup of heavy cream will yield twice as much whipped cream.
What you need:
3/4 cup of whipping cream
2 teaspoons of sugar (you can substitute this with 1 packet of sweet and low)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)
Step 1. With a hand or standing mixer, beat the ingredients on medium to high speed until soft peaks form. This will take about 2-4 minutes. You can use a wire whisk, but it takes longer.
That's it! Inorite! Sooo easy, and it's worth it.
Variations: If you'd like to season your whipped cream, try adding a little of any of the following ingredients: cocoa powder, almond extract, cinnamon, syrups for flavoring coffee (no more than a teaspoon or two).

Tundra Berry Salad
This idea is for something that's really good for "one of those days." Like when you just don't feel like cooking, or as a snack. Whatever floats your boat. It's a very light recipe.
Mats:
Salad greens.. Lettuce, or baby spinach is good. For a quick fix, use one of the bags of mixed greens.
a Handful of Raspberries
a handful of Dried cranberries
1 can of Mandarin Oranges. you'll want to drain these
a handful of grapes
about a cup of shredded cheese. Your choice.
You could add some sliced almonds if you want as well.
Throw everything in a bowl. Add your dressing. I would use a vinaigrette with this. Raspberry would be really good.
If you're looking for something more, add a few pieces of chicken as well.
