Corn and Scrammbled Eggs

This is an easy, healthy dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner.  I served it alone, but there is nothing wrong with a piece of whole wheat toast or perhaps even a tortilla to make it a rollup.  I also served it with tobasco, salsa can work as well or even red pepper flakes. 
serves 4
ingredients:
2 tablespoons canola oil
8 eggs lightly beaten
1 can 11 ounces corn
1/4 cup milk
salt and pepper to taste


In a large skillet or frypan over medium heat, heat oil
In large bowl mix eggs, corn, milk and s and p
Pour into hot skillet
When the eggs begin to set, stir the eggs(scramble them)
Give the eggs a good stir and flip every 30 seconds or so until the eggs are completely set

Add salsa, tobasco or red pepper flakes(all optional) 
On this blog I have mentioned how healthy eggs are many times. The little 80 calories pack so many nutrients in just one serving, and for less then .20.  The vitamin A in eggs helps to promote good night vision, general cell growth and for healthy skin.  Also consuming eggs adds a large concentration of antioxidents, which come from selenium and also vitamin E.  Antioxidents help keep the bad cells out.  The corn in this dish also adds to the nutritional value.  Corn provides a large amount of fiber, which helps lower cholesterol levels and also reduces the risk of colon cancer.
