There are lots of good recommendations in this thread so far. I do think eating a healthy breakfast keeps you on track all day. I’ve been making a wild rice and vegetable frittata in advance on Sundays. Slice it up and put...

's cookbooks are full of ideas. I like the wild salmon filets from Trader Joe’s and will throw them, frozen, covered in Soy Vay teriyaki sauce and lemon juice into the oven to roast at 425F in about 30 minutes. In the...
