| Author Notes: | This low carb breakfast recipe was created by Chef Karina Ulrich of the Auberge Mendocino Inn and Seaside Cottages on California's breathtaking Mendocino Coast. The Auberge used to hold Atkins Diet Retreats which feature hiking, exercise and stress-reduction sessions, visits to galleries, a salsa dance class and a cooking class by the Inn's chef. Participants enjoyed healthy meals including gourmet breakfasts, lunches, light suppers and dinners at nearby restaurants. This recipe was part of that program. |
