Brunch edition: Thyme Scrambled Eggs

Lately when I'm cooking, I find myself asking, "What can I make that Grayson will actually eat?"  He rarely wants to stop playing to eat, so a lot of the time (against my better judgement), I am feeding him on the go.  Every now and then, I'll find something that he will actually sit still for in the highchair and just devour!  What you ask?  Eggs!!  Instead of serving him just boring old scrambled eggs, we step it up a notch and add some real flavor by adding some fresh thyme!  It's really a balanced meal with elements from each of the food group included.  And the best thing is that it's not a super messy food for him to feed himself!  Usually most gets in his mouth and only a little on the floor, which is always considered a huge success!

Thyme Scrambled Eggs
4 eggs
1/8 cup milk
1 TSP fresh thyme 
1/2 cup grated cheese (we like old cheese with our scrambled eggies, but use whatever you've got on hand)
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 small tomato, chopped 

Preheat skillet and melt about a 1/2 tsp butter/margarine.  In medium size bowl, whisk first three ingredients together. Pour into hot pan, topping with the rest of the ingredients.  Once the egg white starts to cook, scramble them repeatedly until eggs are cooked and no longer runny.  Serve with a slice of whole wheat toast.

*we usually fry up some sausage to go along with this and cube it up for him.  The farmers sausage that Coop makes in store is absolutely delicious and is preservative free! yumm

When served with toast and sausage, this recipe is enough to feed all three of us!
