Answer
omelets for dinner aren't bad... just chop and stir-fry your cabbage and onion and portabela in a bit of olive oil, then set a side. crack open a few eggs and beat in a bowl with a bit of half and half ( the sweet flavor is good. mix in some red pepper like what you put on pizza if you like it spicy and some salt. fry this up for a little while until the bottom is browned. lift the sides of it with a fork to cook the rest of the egg and then flip. now pile on the veggies and the spinach (it'll cook in the omelet.) add in some cheese and set a pan lid on top the steam the spinach. after about two minutes uncover and fold in half. enjoy!
