The Road to the New ME!: Vegetable Omelet

I love to cook! I have been a caterer and I am passionate about providing a comfortable atmosphere complete with excellent tasting food for those I love. The drawback: my yummy recipes are high in fat and don’t look good on me.

I want to try to compile great tasting food that is also healthy. Being accountable to you, the reader, will motivate me to continue my goals.

Here are my goals:

1. To be thin! OK, I am 56. Thin is out of my picture, but I want to be a comfortable size 10 or 12.

2. To enjoy the healthier recipes enough that they will remain a lifetime part of my cooking.

3. To reach out to others on a similar path.

Here is what I want to blog:
1. My road to a new and healthier body (weights and measurements).
2. Daily food and exercise along the way (pictures added).
3. The recipes and cost ($) of the food (calorie counts).

Beginning January 1, 2011, for one month I will try out a new low fat recipe everyday and blog my findings. Please share your thoughts. After 1 month, and I am successful, I would like to do a complete makeover on my yummy cook book.

Here I go!

Vegetable Omelet-- 192 calories per serving. Add 53 Calories for the 1/2 Grapefruit and I had a great Breakfast with only 245 Calories.

This was a good omelet, made in a nifty omelet pan that MaryLynn has.

Vegetable Omelet

2 egg whites

1 egg

1 T cold water

2 T sliced mushrooms

2 T chopped onions

2 T green peppers chopped

1/2 chopped tomato

1. Whisk egg whites,egg and water together until foamy

2. heat a non stick skillet until hot

3. Spray with vegetable cooking spray. Pour in eggs and tilt pan so that the bottom is covered evenly. use a non-scratching pancake turner to pull the edge of the omelet into the center and tilt pan so that the uncooked egg flow onto the pan. Repeat all around the omelet until the eggs are cooked.

4. Fill the left side of the omelet with chopped vegetables. Lift the right side of the omelet carefully with the pancake turner so that it folds the omelet in half.
