1/4 C meat, diced (if using beef make sure most of the fat gets cut off) 1/4 C diced potatoes 1/4 C cooked mushrooms 1/4 C fresh spinach 1/4 C onion, minced 1 lg garlic clove, minced 1/4 C feta cheese 4 large eggs, lightly beaten.* Heat olive oil in a pan. Add spinach, onions, garlic and cook until spinach is wilted. Add leftover meat, potatoes, mushrooms, season to taste. Add eggs and cook on gentle heat until eggs are no longer runny. Add cheese. Eat while still warm. Serve with rye toast and bloody mary's. * I used 2 eggs and 1/2 C egg whites to cut the fat. It's a great way to use leftovers from a previous steak meal.

A tip for cookie mixes

I recently upgraded some cookie mixes just by:

Adding Lime zest to sugar cookie dough...mix in before adding liquid/wet ingredients. bake as usual.

Adding almond slivers and almond extract to oatmeal cookie mix. The after taste is most unexpected.

Adding dried cranberries to oatmeal or sugar cookie dough.

Mix 2 tsp cocoa into chocolate chip cookie dough.

Add chocolate chips to peanut butter cookie dough.
