Filling breakfast with very few calories...

It has been awhile since I have posted but sometimes all of us get in a rut and just need some time to come out of it.  Today I felt crummy with a head cold, but also felt hungry, so I chose one of my favorite breakfasts loaded with lots of vitamins.  Hopefully it will help me get over this cold quickly.

I know that many people, especially right now post New Years, have resolutions to lose some pounds.  If you like to eat, this is a good one because it will fill you up, and it is really tasty.
    
                                                     SPINACH SCRAMBLE

All chopped up

To start chop up about 2 tablespoons of shallot.  Reg. onion works if that is all you have. 1 small garlic clove .

shallot, garlic and egg

Break up a tip of dried red pepper, or add a few pepper flakes...just a few.  Even if you don't like heat add them anyway.  They don't make it hot, they just add a layer of goodness.  Saute all of the above in EVOO  (do not use light olive oil, use extra virgin).  If you don't have it use any good vegetable oil, but whenever possible use Olive for its health benefits.  (Read my previous post about olive oil)        

While the onion etc is sautéing, put 2 egg whites and 1/2 egg yolk in a bowl with about an oz of milk or water and mix lightly.  Add the egg into the pan and lightly scramble.  Don't miss it too much, just lightly stir it about so you have larger hunks of egg.

milk .

Lightly scramble the eggs.

Don't let them get too dry

 When the egg is almost set add a large handful of fresh spinach leaves.  With a spatula begin to fold the eggs up and over the spinach.  You should add a bit of olive oil over the spinach to help it wilt.  Sprinkle with good sea salt (which is lower in sodium) or kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper.

Ready to eat.

      TIP:  Use med. coarse salt and always use fresh cracked pepper, it is so
                                  much better and the grinder is pretty on the counter!!!!
Toast up a piece of good whole grain bread with a wiping of fresh garlic, or butter and enjoy.  This is a lot of food, but has very few calories and is only 2 weightwatcher points with a banana.  I guarantee you will be full and very satisfied when you are done.

Enjoy and Cook Fresh Daily!!!
