**Eggbeaters spinich scramble
3/4 c eggbeaters
125 g spinach
1/4 c water

Afternoon Snack - (46 calories)
150 g strawberries

Dinner - (274 calories)
**Sweet mustard beef stir fry with apple and celery
100 g beef round tip steak (previously cooked)
200 g celery
200 g Granny Smith apple
1/4 to 1/3 c water
1 tbsp yellow mustard
2 tsp Lizzie's Kitchen Garden Vegetable Seasoning
10 to 12 drops liquid stevia

Okay so don't laugh.  I love stir fry.  After last night's beef and onion, I wanted more and needed some flavor.  I often use jicama in stir fry so I thought perhaps a firm apple like a granny smith would hold up well to cooking along with some celery.  I chopped up the beef, celery, and apple.  Placed the celery with the water in a skillet on medium heat and covered for 3 or 4 minutes to steam cook it.  Added the apple when the celery started getting soft leaving the lid off to start evaporating the liquid.  As it started reducing I added yellow mustard, stevia and seasonings. The finally added the beef which I cooked yesterday.

It wasn't half bad.
