Creamy Scrambled Eggs

I've learned a lot of things on my new diet. In addition to drinking water I have to start my day with breakfast.

You're probably thinking "Uh, doesn't everyone eat breakfast?"

Well, I am not one of those people. My poor mom used to try desperately to feed me breakfast in high school. I would grab the toast and toss it in the bushes every day. I'm sure the birds loved the cold, soggy, buttery toast.

I'm just not hungry first thing in the morning. Or at least I didn't used to be hungry.

I now have to eat a protein packed breakfast every morning within 30 minutes of waking up. My choices are:  2 eggs or greek yogurt.

I like Greek yogurt about as much as I like goat cheese. (Which tastes like dirty old goat. Blech.) I cannot stand how tart and sour Greek Yogurt is. I'm shocked it's so popular. So, that leaves me with eggs. I like eggs. So I'm ok with it.

Here's my favorite way to make creamy scrambled eggs. I can't remember who gave me the tip to add a dollop of cream cheese, but it's yummy!
