Two, two, 2

I'm in the hotel restaurant eating my veggie frittata and working. If you haven't tried a frittata, I would recommend it. They can be made with egg substitute & use just a small amount of olive oil for the veggies. They're so good to me at the hotel - they'll switch out the hashbrowns for fresh fruit and there is an amazing nut oat toast! For a frittata recipe which looks yummy, check this out. I've already had my early morning (5am) workout and feel great!

As I was sitting here waiting for my food, I watched the local forecast. Today's high will be 5, which, when factoring the wind chill will make it feel -14. Currently, it is -3 with a wind chill that makes it feel as if it is -20. What in the world am I doing here? The best part of the weather forecasts is that you can check out what tomorrow will be like, see what your weekend plans could be affected by, etc.

Two. Thursday will be 2. Two. So with the inevitable wind chill I am looking at -18. Lovely. I can't wait to get home!!!

Omelet from a Bag...

Have you ever heard of making an omelet in a Ziplock bag? Both my step-mom and my step-dad in law sent me an email with instructions about how to do this. I tried it first when I hosted a bridesmaid brunch the day we went to look at bridesmaid dresses - I figured that feeding people & plying them with mimosas and bloody mary's would make the whole process less painful. The omelets were a hit! They're so easy to make & you can add any ingredients you want. In addition, the clean up time is shorter! They're so shockingly easy that I make them at work all the time!
My way of doing things; I don't use measurements when I do this. Sometimes I use more veggies, sometimes less. The type of cheese really depends on 2 things: 1) What kind I'm in the mood for & 2) Have we been grocery shopping lately. Lack of supplies can really cut down on creativity.

What I use
3 eggs (1 whole egg/2 egg whites)
Green Peppers chopped finely
Onion chopped finely
Cheese - you can use what you like
A splash of skim milk
ziplock bag
microwave

How I do it
Beat eggs with splash of milk
Pour into ziplock bag
Add veggies & cheese
Seal bag
Shake bag to mix ingredients
Put into microwave

Here's the tricky part. Depending on the strength of your microwave, you'll need to keep an eye on the bag or it will explode. Which creates a mess. Trust me on this one.
I usually set the timer for a minute at work (high power microwave) and watch until the bag expands almost to the point of popping open. At this point, remove bag from microwave using caution - bag (& ingredients will be HOT!) Open bag slightly & place back into the microwave. Resume cooking - for me this is about 1-1 1/2 minutes.

Remove bag from microwave - again, contents & bag are HOT!
Open bag fully & slide your omelet onto your plate. Garnish as desired - although if like me, you do this at work, you probably won't have garnish.

Consume
Sit back satisfied that you have "cooked" breakfast, it is healthy & you don't have a mess to clean up.
YUM!
