SPINACH AND GREEN ONION SCRAMBLE
This quick and easy breakfast has been a hit with me lately. The green onions and the spinach compliment each other nicely and the sour cream pulls it together with a wonderful creamy finish. I created this little gem when I found myself with far more green onions then I knew what to do with. This was by far my best experiment. You can also turn this into a delicious omelet if you remove the spinach and green onions to a bowl before adding the egg and just add it in when you would add omelet filling.

Steps:
- In a medium sized non-stick skillet, heat up the canola oil on medium high heat while you dice the green onions.
- Saute the green onions for about a minute. While they cook, grab the spinach from the fridge. I find that I eat the most spinach if I buy the convenient pre-cleaned bags of spinach.
- Throw 2-3 three handfuls of spinach on top of the green onions (I estimated this at three cups). The spinach leaves should create a big mound. Use far more than you think you need (it all cooks down quite a bit).
- Turn the heat up to high, add a few splashes of water to the pan, and then put a lid on it. Allow the spinach to steam for about a minute or so. While it is steaming, whisk three eggs in a small bowl and add a splash of water to that too (makes your eggs fluffier).
- Remove the lid and let the water cook off. Sometimes if I splash a little too much water in there, I press the spinach down to get it to releases the liquid so it can cook off.
- When the water has all evaporated, pour in the eggs and let the pan sit for about 30 seconds. Salt and pepper the pan at this stage to your tastes. Now, just mix it all around and cook the eggs till they are as firm as you like them.
- Turn the heat off and finish with the sour cream. Give the eggs a good stir to mix the sour cream around well. Then serve and enjoy!
- NOTE: Sometimes you will find water left in your bowl after eating this meal. It comes from not getting all of the water to evaporate while you are cooking. Adjust your technique next time and you will not have any left over liquid.

SPINACH 'N ONIONS
Nice way to serve spinach and so good for you! The secret is not to overcook the spinach. I like to add a few roasted pine nuts or pumkin seeds with a nice jolt of Marsala wine. I love to serve this recipe with recipe#399309. Just spoon the sauce over the spinach when it is on the plate MMMmm

GREENS AND GRAINS SCRAMBLE
This is the breakfast Sam and I probably eat most often regardless of the season. In truth, it's usually a dish we whip up as a late breakfast on weekdays when we're both working from home and most emails have been returned. It's wonderfully versatile and allows you to use up any leftover grains you have from previous meals, folding in leafy greens for a bit of color. In that sense, think of it more as a template rather than a hard-and-fast approach. Any leafy greens and most grains will work, although I veer away from small, delicate grains like amaranth because they can get lost in the dish.

- Decrease the heat to low and pour in the egg mixture, gently stirring to comingle them with the greens and grains. Continue stirring until they're softly scrambled, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the chives, and season with pepper.
