Hi Flavia, Thanks for the great recipe. This will go well with the spinach I found to grow well in the summer. It’s a Japanese variety, Choho. It only takes 25-30 to grow some nutritious micro greens. Thank you once again, Say hi to Vince. This is Ervin Ruihe Jr., I used to be a member of his NNMB and had a coaching call with him before. All the best. Keep up the great work.

Wow, that sounds delish! Thanks Flavia, you are really on fire with these recipes. I appreciate you posting them.
Thanks for the great recipe. I modified it and used 1/3 cup of milk with 2/3 cup of water. I also added more garlic as I love it. In addition, used half an onion and cooked it in the oil with the garlic. Added some cayenne for a little kick.
This sounds (and looks) yummy!!!
I only use milk and make some over medium eggs with that.the best;)
