Scrambled eggs and spinach

Never in a billion years would I have guessed that any of my kids would eat scrambled eggs with spinach, but my girls are suddenly crazy for it. I make it for myself pretty often for lunch, or supper if I don't feel like cooking anything much, and one day they wanted a bite. I think I probably even said, "Uh, okay. I don't think you'll like it, though." Shows you what I know.

If you are looking for a healthy small meal or snack for your little one, try this out. And, if you have any other scrambled eggs with healthy stuff added variations that your kids like, lay 'em on me in the comments.

  • Heat a small skillet over medium high heat with a touch of butter or olive oil
  • Crack two or three eggs right into the pan, and stir them up a little
  • Add a few handfuls of baby spinach leaves, as much as you like (remember, it'll cook down), and salt, if you like
  • Keep stirring and scraping the cooked egg off the bottom until the eggs are all cooked and the spinach is dark green and cooked (it'll seem like it's taking too long and isn't going to work, then all of a sudden you'll be finished)
Next I'm going to see if they'll eat it with tomatoes.
