Omelets

We do a lot of omelets because they are fast and easy, don't take much thought, and I always have the ingredients already on hand.  AND you can adjust these to each of your family members' tastes really easily so everybody's happy!  :o)  Here's what we do at our house:


  • 3-4 eggs  (1 egg = about 70 calories  It's a LOT of food!)  :o) 
  • 1" cubed of cheese, shredded = about 100 calories (check on your cheese package to see if yours is different)
  • deli meats (turkey and ham are our favorites.  Check the packaging for the calories and make sure there isn't any sugar or many other ingredients you don't recognize in the ingredients!  Deli meats are NOT created equal so pick the healthiest one!)
  • turkey sausage (check packaging for calories/ingredients)




Then go wild with any veggies!!  For the most part I'm not a big stickler on the calories coming from vegetables. We like a combination of these but again, add what YOU like!  And the more fresh veggies , the better! (if you don't mind them raw, do that to get those live digestive enzymes!):


  • sauteed onions
  • sauteed mushrooms
  • sliced zucchini
  • spinach (throw that on at the very end just to wilt it)
  • tomatoes (I throw these on at the end too because they are yummiest fresh!)
  • peppers (green, red, yellow, spicy...whatever!)


  • fresh salsa
  • hot sauce (check the ingredients for sugars, etc.)

Enjoy!
