A reason to meet with family members we perhaps don't have time to see in our daily busy life, an opportunity to reconnect have fun and sometimes also have the chance to correct misunderstandings. It is after all a celebration of rejoice, forgiveness, deviled eggs and the chance to practice love :)

Mushroom Omelette & mixed salad

Mushroom Omelette & mixed salad

serves 1

Ingredients
• 2 large eggs,
• sea salt, freshly ground pepper
• 3-4 nice mushrooms ( I used button style)
• a small knob of butter
• olive oil

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper and beat well with a fork.
Quarter or slice the mushrooms and add to a frying pan on a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil, a small knob of butter and a pinch of salt and pepper. 
Fry and toss around until golden, then turn the heat to medium, add the eggs and spread the mixture out evenly by moving the pan around. 
Use a spatula to ease around the edge of the omelette, then fold it in half.
When it starts to turn golden brown underneath, turn off the heat and slide the omelette on to a plate. 
Serve with a salad and enjoy a delicious meal!

Tip
If you want a more protein-rich omelette or are concern about cholesterol, then use 1 whole egg and only the egg white from the second. 

for the Mixed salad 

In this salad I used half half arugula and half spring mix, but you can use any greens that you love actually. Personally I adore arugula for its peppery flavor, I love to spice up my food as it is a good thing to do to sped up your metabolism. But I understand if everyone isn't as enthralled by it. You can simply use a spring mix blend or a 50/50 (half spring mix, half spinach) blend of greens if you aren't into the arugula as I'm but if you can give it a try and mix a small amount your body will thank you as it's very healthy. And make a huge bowl to enjoy!!!

Ingredients

 50/50 half spring mix, half spinach or/and arugula
celery
tomato
parsley
red onion
sea salt, fresh cracked pepper, to taste
extra virgin olive oil
lemon or apple cider vinegar, to taste

make a huge bowl of salad, after thoroughly washing everything, slice the celery, tomato and onion, hack the parsley and toss drizzle slightly with extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon, salt, pepper and mix the deliciousness together :)
Serve with your omelette or any other day.

Example on a super meal & the how / Mushroom Omelette & mixed salad

"Simple food in gorgeous perfection" - I.A

I love that!                                                    

How that?

The varieties of omelets are many and since eggs are one of the most nutritious foods on earth providing everything our body need except vitamin C,  no doubt it is a great food choice.  Add that eggs are cheap, available, variable and useful in so many different ways, well there you go, one of the best food choices ;)

And;

to the  mushrooms which is one of the foods, as olives, people either love or hate. Personally I'm a fan for many reasons; healthy, great nutritional value and as I have a big interest in food, which are specially beneficial to support our immune system, and also have great anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, the mushrooms fill well this preferences.  

and more;

An important to the palate matter is they add a deeper taste to a dish, are meaty and a great substitute to meat, also very variable and what more the are perfect for a healthy diet and fat-loss . 

mixed salad miracle;

seasonable, convenient whole food choice, salads originate from Mediterranean there they grew wild as weed and later spread their grease to the world. Mixed salad greens, rich in variety is similar in nutrients as calcium, iron, has a large amount of vitamin A, C and traces of minerals and is a low energy density food. As most lettuce mixed salad contain about 94 percent water and is excellent for weight loss as that increase satiety. You can mix other greens and herbs as celery, radicchio, parsley or cilantro, add tomato drizzle the deliciousness with olive oil and you have a nutritious miracle in your plate and the same miracle working in your body healing and creating health. It's easy isn't it!

The example I provide in this article is to give you the idea on how you with ease can make a super meal at home by taking a few steps. That is easily done when you choose a good protein source as eggs in this case or quinoa, green beans, yogurt, chicken, fish, add greens and vegetables, healthy fat as olive oil or a good quality butter or ghee if you are lactose intolerant and with basic nutrient knowledge have a menu that fit a good, healthy lifestyle. What you have to do is to buy the good food so you have it available. In my post  Flat tummy Food for Fridge you can find many useful ideas on good food to have available for variety meals.

Diet Tip;

Add fresh mushroom to your daily diet for a more filling meal and to cut calories, they are perfect in salads, slice and mix together, delicious!

Health Tip;

For woman at risk for hormone-depended breast cancer mushrooms and especially crimini mushrooms may be an important addition to their daily diet, according the worlds healthiest foods. Great :)

So be it ;D

I love to cook all kind of food but I believe that most of our daily food should be the kind of food that is good for us and is easy to prepare, done by one ingredient foods, fits the budget, easy to cook, so that nutritional food can be on the table everyday. Important is also to make in advance meals and have in the fridge for a couple days and refrigerate the rest. By doing that you will always have the right food on the table, tasty, homemade, budget friendly, nutritional food and be able to keep a healthy you with less daily effort if you make the effort in advance. Isn't it perfect how it works, it's like magic and everything goes your way!!! :)

And now I will share with you a couple examples on easy to make nutritious meals with eggs. And I choose eggs as it is the smartest food on earth, indeed they are, one egg contains all the nutrients your body need the only you would need to add is vitamin C and that's easy done by squeezing fresh lemon juice and flavor your water, magic again!

Eating out healthy review / Great Korean hot pot dish at Suria klcc

Eating out can sometimes be tricky and when abroad can it be difficult as you are not familiar with the cuisine.  The domestic way of cooking differ from the same cuisine in your country, as I experienced here in Kuala Lumpur. 

No matter where in the world you are if you want to avoid to much fat in your meal, which is what is served in many restaurants all over the world, you need to choose what you eat with more care.
