Things are always a little hectic the first few days back to work after a vacation.  So last night I scrambled up some eggs and veggies.

For three servings:

  • 7 Egg whites
  • 1 whole egg
  • splash of water
  • S&P
  • Franks red hott
  • 1/2 green pepper
  • 1 large zucchini
  • 1/2 cup white mushrooms
  • 1 large green onion

I portioned the scramble out into three containers, and had one of them with some ketchup for my breakfast #1 at work:

Hello! I’m Mary, a self-proclaimed fervent foodie and carbohydrate connoisseur. This blog is about my life—my passions, adventures, and failures—through food. I’m a bean counting CPA by trade, but my true passion is food. It is the unabashed soul of my being. The history, the culture, the taste, the experience–I am fascinated and enchanted by it all. I devote my free time almost entirely to scouting out delicious restaurants and cooking up new recipes. It makes me especially happy when I can take a recipe and “healthify” it. By this I mean turn it into something healthy and nutritious that still tastes friggin’ delicious. I love to connect with readers, restaurants, and those in public relations, so email me and let’s talk food! Google
