I just returned from a conference that focused on diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Lots of talk about drug therapy with many comments about healthy eating, physical activity, and stress management being the front line for reducing risk. All of that to say that I ate some really good food. Not the norm at any conference. The organizers did a really good job walking the walk with respect to what we were offered for meals and snacks. Here is a recipe that I “stole” from a brunch that we had on the last day of the conference. I will call it “Eggs Dallas” since the conference was in Dallas. It is really delicious. You could make the vegetable mixture with any vegetables and could even make ahead of time and store in the refrigerator.
