    tomatoes, 1/2 avocado, spinach, feta and salsa!

    I also got a recipe from here for salsa poached eggs:
    Pour enough salsa to cover the bottom of a small sauce pan, on low heat bring to a boil
    Crack the eggs right in and cover 5-10 minutes (depending on how runny you like the yolk)
    Add a little shredded cheese if you wish.

    SO GOOD and filling! A healthier heuvos rancheros!

    1/3 fat CREAM CHEESE

    I like making a breakfast "omwich". Four large egg whites in a small glass bowl that is sprayed with 0 calorie butter flavor spray, whisk curry powder into them, cook in the microwave for 2:30 minutes (I have a microwave that is over 22 years old so it takes longer to cook things, you'd have to test yours for the time). Put the cooked egg whites on toasted light bread, I use Village Hearth wheat or 12 grain 40 cals per slice. And then squeeze on some French's honey mustard. 168 calories total.

    For regular omelets I use green peppers, onions, diced tomatoes, mushrooms, curry powder (I love curry), sometimes pizza sauce & mozzarella, sometimes salsa.

    I love eggs. Now I'm hungry for some :-)

    I use leftover soup =)
    I get Campbells Select Harvest. They have one soup thats only 50 calories for a cup (half a can) Its called southwest vegetable I think... Well when I have the soup for dinner I never eat all of it so I save the rest and add it to an egg, mix together, and scramble. Its sooo good. I've tried it with other select harvest soups...
    Not sure if its SUPER healthy but it is low in calories and fairly low in sodium.

    2 eggs + mushrooms + green onions + baby spinach + herbes de Provence + 1 pat butter to sauté the veggies + 1 pat butter to cook the eggs.

    Sometimes I'll skip the spinach, add a bit of cheese and smoked paprika or chipotle spice.

    I :heart: eggs.

    I used to eat them with 2 whole eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, a bit of turkey lunch meat & cheese. But I just discovered egg beaters. Now the same breakfast is 250 or less!
    Also, I do not understand why people deprive themselves of egg yolk. Eggs are good for you & do not raise your bad cholesterol

    I just tried something different this morning in my egg white omlet and added shrimp. It was pretty good.

    i use the southwestern egg beaters and add some spinach, ground-up turkey sausage or a cheddar veggie slice (and sometimes all three!) and eat it on an arnold select thin. i also only use olivio or i can't believe it's not butter spray - they have 0 calories and really have a buttery taste.

    This morning I had a delicious simple omelette that I posted on Senior Golden Sneakers. I'll call it

    MY GREEK OMELETTE

    HEAT on medium low , in medium size fry pan (with cover)
    . wipe or spray of olive oil
    .1/4 cup chopped onion
    .3 oz (1/3 package) fresh spinach leaves
    COVER PAN; while in a small bowl, wisk together:
    .1 whole egg, 2 egg whites
    .1 oz Cabot's 75% fat free cheddar cheese, shredded (I use my own shredder)
    .Greek or other seasoning, to taste
    .couple of drops of water
    REMOVE spinach mixture to a plate when it has collapsed, but not overcooked
    ADD egg mixture to pan swirl and cook on medium, covered, until set.
    PLACE spinach mix into center of eggs, and cover with 1/2 the omelette till set

    ENJOY. This is easy to prepare, and quite tasty.


    Cindy, thanks for the hint about Olivio spray.

    I just recently found Newmans Own organic salsa, in my grocery store, and to my SUPRISE 1 tablespoon is only 10 calories and 65mg of sodium! AWESOME! So I have been using it on everything, eggs included.
