Prepare it quickly, chew it slowly

I wanted to share two quick eats with you today.  A delicious spinach and pecan salad–and scrambled eggs.

If you’re watching your waistline like I am-yet refuse to eat food that’s blah and leaves you hungry-
wait ’til you try these!

First a little tip: when you take a mouthful of food, chew 30 times before swallowing.  Not only is it better for your digestion…it fills you up sooner and
allows you to savor the flavor.  Eating shouldn’t be a rush job!

Spinach & Toasted
Pecan Salad (serves 4)

1 cup pecan halves
1 large bunch of lettuce, either baby or later harvest
1/2  small red onion, finely sliced
1/2 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup grated Parmesan (optional)

Preheat oven to 300.  Spread pecans on large baking
sheet and bake in oven until they begin to
darken-about 5 minutes.  Watch that they don’t
burn.

Put spinach onion and toasted pecans in a large
bowl.  In a small bowl, combine olive oil, mustard,
vinegar, salt & pepper.  Pour dressing on salad just
before serving.  Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if
using,

Today’s egg recipe uses butter.   Antonio
Valladares–author of Healthy Urban Kitchen–also
suggests another oil that takes scrambled eggs and
omelettes to a whole new level.  Wow!  I would’ve
never thought of using this oil. He’s turned me onto
it for both flavor and healthy properties.

Fluffy Scrambled Eggs
With Mushroom & Garlic (1 serving)

2 eggs
1/2 small onion, chopped fine
1 clove of garlic, chopped
3 small mushrooms, chopped
Pinch of salt, pepper, chili powder, curry powder
2 tablespoons butter 2 teaspoons water

Whisk the eggs in a bowl and add water.  Set aside.
Melt butter in frying pan.  When it is hot, add the
onion and cook, stirring until translucent. Add garlic
and mushrooms. Stir in seasoning.

Once the vegetable mixture is softened, add egg.
Using a spatula, push eggs toward center while
tilting skillet to distribute runny parts. To side of pan.

Continue this motion as the eggs continue to set.
Break apart large pieces as they form with your
spatula. When the egg is no longer runny, flip pieces
over. Allow to cook 15 to 25 seconds longer.

Here’s  what one Healthy Urban Kitchen fan has
to say:  “Before Antonio, I had given up on feeling
and looking good all the time thinking I was just
cursed with a sensitive stomach, sweets cravings and a
slow metabolism but Antonio and his Healthy Urban
Kitchen Program taught me otherwise! I truly can’t
thank him enough for how happy I am with my results!
He has changed my lifestyle in too many positive ways
to list!”
