BREAKFAST BURRITOS
Here is a recipe for breakfast burritos that I put together when I was going on the Zone diet. They are pretty much low carb, low fat, and moderate in protein. This recipe makes 6 burritos that you can wrap in foil and put in a freezer bag at the beginning of the week. 3 minutes on high in the microwave in the morning makes them really easy for people who don't have time for breakfast.
Ingredients:
12 egg whites
6 whole wheat tortillas (soft taco size)
6 meatless sausage patties (I use Morning Star Farms or Boca)
1� cups shredded low fat cheese (Sargento makes a great Mexican blend)
Salt and pepper
Microwave sausage patties according to directions on package. Let them sit while you separate the eggs. Scramble the egg whites until they are cooked through and not too watery. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Lay out six pieces of foil larger than your tortillas, and top each piece of foil with a room temp tortilla (easier to fold if it's not cold).
Distribute the scrambled eggs evenly among all six tortillas. Next, crumble one sausage patty onto each tortilla. Then, top each with a � cup of shredded cheese.
Fold the tortilla into a burrito (the ends won't fold), and wrap each in their foil. Place in a freezer bag and when ready to eat, take off the foil, wrap the burrito in paper towel and microwave on high for 3 minutes.

ZIG�S
SWISS CHEESE FONDUE
Several bricks of Swiss cheese (4?) shredded
White pepper
Ground nutmeg
Kirsch/Kirshwasser - "cherry water" (a cherry liqueur)
White wine - not sweet like White Zinfandel (although that isn't horrible, either!)
Garlic clove
Flour
In a big bowl, mix shredded cheese, a couple of tablespoons of flour, a few dashes of white pepper, and nutmeg. You can also add a little dash of garlic powder. Cheese should be lightly coated.
In a pot, start heating some of the white wine on the stove on medium.
While the wine is heating, peel a garlic clove and make little cuts into it. Rub the clove all over the inside of the fondue pot.
When wine is heated, but not boiling, start adding the cheese mixture, a little at a time, while stirring continually so it will melt. Keep going until all the cheese mixture is melted. If it gets too thick, add some more wine. I use an entire (hic!) bottle! Consistency should be smooth and creamy.
Add a little kirsch-maybe 2 tablespoons.
Light candle under fondue pot stand.
Pour fondue into pot.
Serve with cut up chunks of crusted bread (Italian or French bread).
Tell everyone that if their bread chunk falls off of their fork, they have to kiss the person to the right...
