Day 32 - Scramble

Heidi hooked me onto this dish. I LOVE it. It have eaten it at different times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's especially good for dinner if you just want something light but filling. I start by dicing up some veggies. I use what I have on hand which is usually broccoli, a Roma tomato, and red bell pepper and asparagus if I'm lucky. Dice these babies up and throw them in a small frying pan with a tablespoon or so of water. Put the lid on your pan and let the veggies steam for 3-5 minutes.

While your veggies are steaming, break out your eggs. I use four egg whites. Once you get past thinking it's weird that your eggs are white and not yellow, you'll love using egg whites. Why just egg whites? I'll tell you. One large egg is 71 calories, a ton of cholesterol, and 6 grams of protein. One large egg white is 16 calories, zero cholesterol, and 4 grams of protein. You get almost as much protein at a fraction of the calories! I wasn't aware of how much better the egg white is until Heidi clued me in about three months ago. I've been hooked on the egg whites ever since!

So now you've got your veggies steamed and your 4 egg whites are ready to go into the pan. Push the veggies to the side of the pan and dump your egg whites in. It helps if your pan has a good nonstick coating because the egg whites can stick. Let the eggs cook some and then scramble it all together. Add some salt and pepper to taste and voila!You have a huge serving of healthy food for around 100 calories! If you're feeling extra sassy, throw a couple tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese on there. Delicious! I'm so glad I'm friends with that Heidi girl who invents/finds/makes all sorts of healthy foods. Thanks babe! (But your brownies are actually my favorite...)
