Just get a handful of fresh spinish and sautee it in heated olive oil until warm and cooked. You can add sliced jalapeno if you like to.
Pure in egg beaters (from a carton) over the top of spinish. You only need enougth to cover the spinish and peppers. It is cooked in the same manner as you would cook an omelet.
Sprinkel some sharedded Parmesan chees on top.
Cook over a medium heat, let the eggs get a little brown on the bottom.
Flippe over the omelet and let the other side cook, not for long. Just enoght to cook the egg and melt the chees. If you want you can turn the heat off and the egg will cook itself with heat of the pan.
You can sever this as a hearty sandwich or with tost on the side.

Serve salmon with avocado sauce
I do not believe in diets, I believe in eating clean all the time! Although it is completely normal for cravings to fade away after a few months of beginning this lifestyle, it is nice to have a treat once in a while-- a healthy treat! For breakfast, I normally have egg whites with spinach, but on rare occassions I am craving something different, something sweet! I came up with a recipe that resembles the texture, consistency, and taste of a pancake... But includes all natural, healthy ingredients.
Ingredients:
1) Jay Robb Whey Protein ~ Vanilla
2) SunWarrior Warrior Blend/Raw Protein plant-based ~ Vanilla
3) Rainbow Light's ThinBerry Opti-Curb ~ Cinnamon Twist
Being that I am a native of Philadelphia, I love my cheese stakes, but I do not eat meat.
I make them with Portabella mushrooms.
2 medium Portabella mushroom caps will make one serving.
1. Clean the inside of the mushrooms with a spoon and wash.
2. Cut mushrooms into medium slices.
3. Chop some onions up and hot peppers if you want.
4. Saute onions and peppers in olive oil until they are soft or caramelized.
5. Add the mushrooms and cover until the mushrooms are soft somewhat firm.
For the sauce you can use a stir fry sauce like Korean Teriyaki stir fry sauce.
If you want a real spicy sauce use Szechuan Spicy stir fry. House of Tsang makes the best stir fry sauce.
Use what every type of roll you want and low fat cheese.

2 lbs. red potatoes, cut into 3/4 inch chunks
4 eggs (yolks removed after cooking)
Water
3/4 cup fat free plain yogurt
2 tsp. Dijon mustard (optional)
1 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
2/3 cup chopped whole green onions
3 tbsp. finely chopped flat leaf parsley
1/2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh tarraon
Salt and pepper to taste
Place potatoes and eggs in a large pot. Add enough cold water to exceed the top of potatoes by 2 inches. Place the pot over high heat and add one tsp. of salt. Bring water to boil and cook uncovered until potatoes are tender. approximately 20-30 minutes.
Drain potatoes and eggs in colander and allow them to cool. Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together the yogurt and mustard. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Add the onions , parsley, tarragon and stir until combined.
Remove eggs and transfer the potatoes to a large bowl Peel eggs, remove yolks and cut egg whites into small pieces, add egg whites to potatoes in bowl. Pour dressing over potatoes and egg whites. Mix well with a wooden spoon breaking some of the potatoes so some of them are a bit mashed and ingredients are well combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley. Refrigerate for a least one hour or up to two days. Makes 6 servings.
**When I don't have whole green onions I use 1/2 to 3/4 of cup grated yellow onion. If your salad is a bit dry I sometimes add a tbsp.of low fat mayo to add a bit more flavor and moisten up, only if needed. If you slightly mash some of the potatoes in this salad is gives it a creamier texture thus requiring less dressing/mayo. Large chunks of potatoes seem drier and require more added fat and calories to be added for a similar result.

2 tbsp butter
2 lg leeks (white and pale green parts only) -- if there are only small leeks, use 4 or 5 small
2 lg russet potatoes
1 qt. low sodium chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream
chives chopped for garnish
In dutch oven over medium high heat, melt the butter and sauté the leeks until soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and stock and cook until the vegetables are cooked through and beginning to fall apart, about 15 to 20 minutes. Using an immersion blender, submerge in the soup and puree until smooth. If using a blender, ladle the soup into the blender and blend until smooth but with some small chunks remaining. (You may have to do this in 2 batches.) Add the cream and blend to combine, then check for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot ladled into soup bowls and topped with some of the chopped chives.
