Today's Recipes


Delicious Scrambled Eggs!

  • 1/2 Onion
  • 1/4 Green Pepper
  • Fresh spinach
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 eggs
  • Shredded Cheese
  • 1/2 seeded tomato

Saute 1/2 chopped onion and 1/4 chopped green pepper until tender. Throw a bunch of FRESH spinach leaves over the cooked onions and peppers. Salt and let wilt; stir. Add about 1 tsp of minced garlic. (I keep a jar of it in my fridge for easy access.) Scoot to side of frying pan crack 2 eggs and scramble as much away from the veggies as possible. When 4/5 the way cooked add a little shredded cheese. Stir slightly; push aside. Toss in approx. 1/2 seeded, chopped, and slightly salted tomato. Let sizzle for about a minute and stir in with the egg/veggie mix.

Enjoy! I crave this about every other morning. SO GOOD SO GOOD.

Tip for seeding a tomato - Cut in half and squeeze gently over a trash can. Knock off the seeds and waa-la!
