Veggie Poached Eggs

I've been wanting to try this recipe for months. It didn't disappoint. The eggs were creamy and the veggies very filling. Perfect post-workout meal. In a pinch a bag of frozen, mixed stir-fry veggies would do just fine. Endless variation possibilities (Thai, Mexican, Chinese, etc.) Love it.

Quick and tasty

I was surprised by how good this tastes, because it doesn't sound so good. Even my husband likes it, and he is not a big fan of vegetables. I like it because I usually have most of the ingredients on hand so it is a good, quick meal.

I didn't think this was very good, and my husband thought it was awful. It was just a strange mixture of flavors and somewhat bland. We both decided that by themselves, vegetables and eggs are good, but not together. I will not make this again.
