You have hope!  Welcome to my food blog, my food diary, eventually my trip around the country with my husband finding yummy local dishes to enjoy and share.  For now though we will be staying right here in East Tennessee.  My childhood home and where I lay my head every night.  I love the climate here and the availability of fresh fruits and veggies most of the year from our own local gardens and markets.  The desire to start journaling what I ate came from trying to recreate yummy dishes my daughter and I had stumbled on or the unique vegan creations my mother whipped up for us each Saturday night.  These are as much for me as they are for you…. Here is entry one in what I hope will be a fun and delicious trip with you!

Everyone always asks “how do you have time to cook??”  Truth is, I don’t.  But I do take at least 20 minutes every morning that I am able to make sure I start my day with something yummy, something pretty and something just for me.  After all, Moms around the world don’t call it the most important meal of the day for no reason!

Scrambled Veggie Eggs

Ingredients

  • 1 farm fresh egg (or 1/2 cup egg substitute)
  • 4-5 sliced Baby Portobello mushrooms
  • 2 small colored mini sweet peppers sliced
  • Handful of fresh baby spinach
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Laughing Cow Babybel Light Mozzarella Cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a heavy ceramic or other non stick small skillet.  
  2. Add mushrooms and peppers, toss a couple of times with spatula until they start to soften.  
  3. Add spinach and the egg and mix well with the spatula while the egg starts to cook. Less mixing creates a more “fried” egg texture,  more frequent mixing for a scrambled texture.  
  4. After about 5 minutes or when the egg starts to become firm, break up the Babybel and drop into the scramble. I love it when some of the cheese leaks out and gets crusty…it’s so yummy!  
  5. When the egg looks cooked through and the cheese is melted move everything with a spatula to a pretty plate with a couple of sides and enjoy!
