Simple Scrambled Eggs

Ingredients:

5 eggs

5 tablespoons milk

1 pat of butter

Kosher salt

Ground pepper

Directions:

1. In a small mixing bowl, combine eggs and milk with a fork. In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat until it bubbles. Stir a pinch of salt and pepper into egg mixture then pour into pan, stirring slowly with a heat resistant rubber spatula.

2. As soon as curds begin to form, increase heat to high and instead of stirring, use the spatula to fold the eggs over themselves while gently shaking the pan with your other hand. As soon as no more liquid is running around the bottom of the pan, remove from the heat and serve.

Foods to never feed your pet ”There are quite a few foods and beverages we can consume that our pets should not, including onions, garlic, mushrooms, macadamia nuts and alcoholic or caffeinated drinks," .

 “For instance, if you are using baby food in any meals for your pet, read the label first to make sure it doesn’t contain onion powder. That being said, whenever you are cooking a meal for yourself and your pets, you should substitute ingredients or reserve a ‘pet-friendly’ portion beforehand.” Then you can add other ingredients and seasonings to the meal to make it palatable for you, your spouse and your kids.
