Don't Need a Gun to Blow Your Mind

I tell ya I got this scrambled egg thing down!  I know you're thinking, anyone can make scrambled eggs yo.  Yeah, but I could never get them cream dreamy or delicate tasting and I finally got it.  The right heat, the right time to add them to the other ingredients, just a dash of milk. 
These had sautéed zucchini, red onion and baby spinach. 
I'm obviously easily impressed but I also made a kick ass low-cal homemade mac and cheese with ham and peas.  I made the roux with flour and butter, added a 1/4 cup milk and a cup of chicken stock until it thickened and got really hot. Then I added the cheese, about 4 ounces of Monterey Jack until melted, then I immediately mixed it in with the pasta.



Instead of parmesan on top I added seasoned bread crumbs.  During the week it's all about the simple victories. Don't try to overreach.
