Hey guys! I'm going to write a few more blogs about the different foods Michael and I have grown to love. I figured a good way to start that was to show you just what I'm eating! So here goes!
First off, I love coffee! I have allowed myself to get back into drinking it, but not before my water. Every day, before I allow myself a cup of coffee, I drink 3- 16 oz glasses of water. If you remember from yesterday's blog, I aim for 5 glasses total in a day. The only bad part is, I don't like water. :\ I prefer soda or coffee or something with some flavor. But I force myself to drink the water because it's good for me. *sigh* I prefer to front load the day with water (which gets your metabolism going) and then drink the last 2 glasses more casually throughout the day. I also have a hydration app that reminds me to drink water. It comes out to 16 oz ever 3 hours for me. Not too bad. So far today, I have 3.5 glasses under my belt! :D I pee like a racehorse. :P I haven't even put a pot of coffee on yet! But I'll have to soon, because Rhythm will want some when she gets up. :)
OK, onto the food! Let me just start by saying that I love veggies! I'm always looking for new ways to incorporate them into my meals. Sometimes I'll have a meal entirely of sautéed veggies, because they're so yummy! For breakfast today I made myself an omelette and I think I packed in more veggies than ever before! This thing is huge! In fact, I had to take a break halfway through eating it to write this blog because I'm halfway done and full! Veggies are great at filling you up and keeping you fuller longer. I loaded so many in today because I felt like yesterday I was doing a lot of snacking and this morning I was already starting it again. I knew I needed my stomach full so the goldfish crackers wouldn't be so tempting. ;)
I go back and forth, sometimes I make an omelette with 2 eggs, other times just 1. Today I felt like I was going to need 2. Obviously, my eyes were bigger than my stomach. ;) I made toast too (Aldi's, Fit and Active, 45 cal/slice, Multigrain), because I like to take the last few bites of my omelette and put them in the bread for a sort of sandwich. :) Yum! OK, here are the ingredients and steps to my omelette.
1 drizzle Olive Oil
1/3 Bell Pepper (any color, I had orange), diced
1/4 Onion (any color, I had white), diced
1/2 Zucchini, diced
3 tbsp Rotel (or chopped tomatoes, I had an open can of Rotel in the fridge already)
2 eggs
Splash of milk
Salt and Pepper to taste
Shredded cheese
1 slice bread
Drizzle olive oil in skillet over medium heat and sautee pepper, onion, and zucchini until soft. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Scramble eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together. Grease skillet with cooking spray and pour egg mixture into skillet. Roll pan around to spread egg mixture until the mixture sets.
Add veggies over egg. Spoon on Rotel. Top with shredded cheese (I didn't measure how much I used, a small pinch, probably 2 tbsp to 1/4 cup).
Fold omelette in half and let sit on skillet until cheese is melted.
Transfer to plate and add buttered toast.
Enjoy!
Nothing fancy about it. It's just stuff I had on hand. But boy was it filling! Hope you'll all learn to love veggies as much as I do! I'll look for and post recipes soon that hide the veggies a little better. My kiddos wouldn't eat this omelette like it is. They'd eat some of it, but skeptically. ;) I'll just keep trying. Love you all! Stay tuned for my daily capsule wardrobe post coming soon! Happy Wednesday!
