A Yummy (and Healthy) Lunch

Who says eating healthy is boring? If you think a healthful diet consists of "rabbit food," you are sadly mistaken.  Moreover, you are ripping yourself off.

I usually eat a huge salad for lunch - not just any salad, but a salad made with almost everything in the kitchen: green beans, onion, garlic, tomato, radish, apples, raisins, nuts, and dressed with sesame oil and balsamic vinegar.  Oh, yes, salt and pepper (I don't skimp on seasoning).

But today I changed things a bit. 

Pam nonstick spray
1 can green beans (drained)
3 sliced mushrooms
1/2 sliced onion
1/2 sliced fresh tomato
1 egg
Parmesan cheese
(Calories: about 280 - and I'm being generous)

After spraying a pan with nonstick spray, I sautéed the seasoned vegetables until they showed some grill marks and the mushrooms and onions were soft.  I then cracked an egg over the lot and sprinkled a generous helping of parmesan cheese, covered the pan and lowered the heat.  A few minutes later, the egg had cooked, but the yolk was still soft, and the parmesan had permeated the dish.  OMG! Bliss.
