I havent always been an ardent fan of vegetables, and, in fact, found that if I wasnt
careful, it was easy to eat none whatsoever. Finally deciding for health to try and sneak
the bad boys of the freshgrown world in whenever possible, I incorporated them into a
chunky, fun, zippy and fresh version of scrambled eggs. The spinach is undetectable,
and the result is filling enough for two (that is, if you choose to share).
If the word vegetables send you into a fetal position, this one is still worth the effort.
Smack yo mama TexMex scramble
5 eggs
2 Tbsp water
1/8 cup chopped green pepper
1/8 cup chopped red onion
2 cherry tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained
5 jalapeno pepper slices, chopped
1 slice pepper jack cheese (or cheddar)
2 Tbsp Pace Salsa
1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat with canola oil (or your oil of choice). Mix eggs,
water, pepper, onion, tomatoes, spinach and jalapenos together. Pour into an oiled
pan over medium heat, and cook until eggs are to your desired consistency.
2. Just before eggs are ready to remove, turn heat off and add pepper jack cheese to
the top. Cover with a lid or a plate or a pan and let sit for 5 minutes.
3. To serve, add 2 Tbsp salsa over top and serve immediately.
Tips: This dish also stores very well with saran wrap and heats up in the microwave with
no trouble. If you plan to save half of the dish for later, do not add the 1Tbsp salsa to the
half you will reheat until after heating.
You can also add sliced black olives, guacamole, sour cream, and chopped lettuce
(make certain to account for the carb count change).

My only question is how can the total fat per serving be 33 grams and that
many calories per serving?
