NSV - food changes

in the not so distant past (a couple of months ago? *LOL*), if there were leftover boiled potatoes sitting in the fridge, they weren't there for long...as it always meant 'tonight i am having those potatoes, sliced, pan fried (the more butter the better), and then topped with a couple of fried eggs. Then the final touch was salt and pepper.. and by that i mean alot of salt, and some pepper. It was not unheard of for this to include a couple of pieces of toast too.
Tonight, there were leftover boiled fingerling potatoes sitting in the fridge, calling me.
Did i have them? darned right i did...
BUT
tonight i only used 1/2 cup of them (yes, i measured).. and then sorta 'sauted' them with a touch of water, AND a handful of cherry tomatoes, chopped red pepper, 4 sliced black olives, and at last moment a jampacked cupful of raw spinach!
To top this delicious and SO colourful mixture off were 2 poached eggs.. and then a drizzle of apple cider vinegar with some dijon mustard.
NO added salt.
only a lil potatoes..and the rest? beautiful colourful fresh veg!
My plate was full, i felt inordinately proud just by how pretty it looked! *LOL*
And then i sat down to eat and that first mouthful was delicious!
i polished off this meal. And never once...not once.. did i wish it was JUST potatoes and eggs! in fact.. i sat here wondering.. what the heck took me so long to discover how great such a simple meal change would taste!
Even if i never logged into mfp again, even if i never changed another thing about my eating habits... i already know i will not ever again just 'choose' potatoes and eggs the way the old shelly would have done.. cause THIS version is just SO much better tasting!
*L*
i know... a silly NSV to some maybe... but was a lightbulb moment for me *S*
ooh and yes... tonights meal fit perfectly fine into my food diary for today *L*
