One of my favorite breakfast items is a great omelet. I don't think I ever met an omelet I didn't like. One of my big fears when I started this journey was having to give up things like omelets, and even worse bacon. Here is an example of why I thought that: A breakfast related chain restaurant serves an omelet with bacon, mushrooms, peppers, cheddar cheese, and a slice of toast. Sounds delicious doesn't it? Well, at 995 calories it ought to be. That's right, 995. I don't know about you, but I am not willing to throw away over half of my day on an omelet.
What to do? What to do? Since I was unwilling to indulge in that I had to find a better plan. No magic here. Just common sense (and the Internet.) Remember, this entire journey I am on, is all about making the RIGHT choices. So below is my choice for breakfast. I hope you enjoy, and I would love to hear what you think about the recipe.
