A couple of recipes

Not a long post today, but thought I would give you a couple of quick and easy recipes that I have been eating quite a bit. As far as I know they both are creations of either myself or my daughter, I just tossed things together for the crepe and she did the same for the salad, but who knows?
The first one I eat for breakfast, but if you add a salad it would make a great lunch or even a light supper.

Breakfast Crepe
2 eggs, mixed with seasonings of your choice
1 scallion, white and green parts, sliced
3-4 mushrooms, sliced
2 tblsps fat free sour cream
shredded cheddar cheese to sprinkle over eggs, less than 1/4 cup
non stick cooking spray

Quickly saute scallion and mushrooms in sprayed hot pan, then spread evenly over bottom of pan and gently pour eggs over them, covering bottom of pan. Cook, lifting edges of eggs and letting uncooked eggs from top slide underneath. When cooked enough to do so, flip over the whole amount of eggs, although I can never do this and have to cut it in half! After turning, sprinkle top with cheese and continue cooking until cheese begins to look *soft* (alternately you can just add cheese at beginning and scramble the eggs) . Fold in half and put in middle of opened crepe , fold edges of crepe and place fold side down on plate. Top with 2 tblsps of sour cream and enjoy.
There are 321 calories in this meal.
*You can add 2 slices of cooked turkey bacon to this for an additional 61 calories.



Strawberry Spinach Salad
3 cups raw, washed, spinach. whole, shredded, however you like it for salad
6 washed, hulled, thinly sliced strawberries
1/4 cup reduced fat feta cheese
2 tblsps Lite Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette (or lite dressing of your choice)

Place spinach on plate, top with strawberries, then feta and dressing! An easy delicious lunch that only has 152 calories.
* You could add 4 oz of boneless, skinless chicken breast (grilled, baked or roasted) for an additional 183 calories

I hope you try these and enjoy them if you do. As we explore and come up with new recipes I will share them. Have a great Sunday!
