Green Eggs No Ham

Scrambled Eggs With Greens Recipe 2011-01-18 11:57:51

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
2 eggs
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups arugula
2 tablespoons flavored goat cheese (I used goat cheese with peppadews)

Directions

  1. In a medium-size skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
  2. Whisk the eggs together in a small bowl until frothy. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Pour the eggs into the warm skillet and leave alone for 30 seconds. With a wooden spoon, slowly start to swirl the eggs, pulling the outside in, scrambling them.
  4. When the eggs are starting to turn white, add the arugula, a couple handfuls at a time. Continue to cook, stirring constantly for another 2 minutes.
  5. Crumble in the goat cheese and stir until it's melted and the eggs are creamy and cooked through, another 2-4 minutes (depending on how you like your eggs scrambled). Taste for seasoning and adjust by adding more salt or pepper. Transfer eggs to a plate and enjoy immediately.

Guy Fieri Nation Expands to Include Barbecue Sauces and Salsa

With a gaggle of TV shows, books, restaurants, and endorsements under his belt, it's hard to imagine what else could be on the horizon for Guy Fieri.

Guy Fieri Salsas and Barbecue SaucesWith a gaggle of TV shows, books, restaurants, and endorsements under his belt, it's hard to imagine what else could be on the horizon for Guy Fieri. But at this week's Winter Fancy Foods Show, we managed to find out. The man himself was there to launch his first-ever line of supermarket condiments. While we didn't spot him in person, we did get to check out his barbecue sauces and salsas.

Fieri's salsas come in four flavors (Original Salsa, Salsa Verde, Chipotle Salsa, and 4 Pepper), as do his sauces, which are available in Kansas City, Bourbon Brown Sugar, Pacific Rim, and Carolina #6. We enjoyed the original and salsa verde salsas and the classic Kansas City barbecue sauce.

Whether we like it or not, it's only a matter of time before Guy's shaded, sun-bleached visage takes over the country, one mass-produced bottle at a time.

Cheesecake Factory Skinny Cocktails: Love Them or Hate Them?

Want to keep that

Cheesecake Factory Skinny CocktailsWant to keep that resolution but order that cocktail and drink it, too? That's exactly what The Cheesecake Factory is hoping for with a line of "skinny" cocktails to be unveiled today. The new products will feature five of the chain's bestselling drinks, among them margaritas and mojitos, with total calorie counts around 150 — roughly half the nutritional value of their popular counterparts. The cocktail drink mixers, which are made in-house, will replace some sugar with sweeteners such as Splenda. Alcohol content, portions, and prices, however, will remain the same. What do you think of this new beverage category: is it a good idea or a bad idea?
