I was in no mood to cook a big dinner tonight. It’s been a longish week, and I’d gone to personal training after work. It’s been a while since I’d done full on Pilates reformer work and forgotten how freaking hard it is. Whew!

When I’m like this, it’s eggs for dinner. Hands down.

Eggs are so healthy, so easy on the budget and the soul. They combine with darned near anything that might be laying about in the refrigerator.

In this instance, laying about meant: sliced ham for sandwiches, some onion, and chopped sweet gherkin pickles to scramble with the beaten eggs. There were also some small russet potatoes that begged to be microwaved, and some on-the-vine tomatoes from Costco that lend themselves to being grilled/broiled.

Add some toasted whole grain bread, and voila! I figure it came in somewhere about 300-350 calories and almost no fat other than the egg.
