On the menu - Mushroom Omelette & mixed salad


Omelettes are not made without breaking the eggs"
 - Robespierre
 A most satisfying meal can I say, if omelettes and mushrooms aren't already in your menu I hope you will try this easy made and delicious meal.  It's a perfect meal really, I explain about how to make a  super-meal in that post. This is a tiptop meal when you are hungry, after an workout or just want to eat good budget friendly food made with less effort.  You can cook this tantalizing meal in less than a half hour. Bon appetite :)

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 :)


My following post will of course be the " Mushroom Omelette & mixed salad" recipe!!!

My Mediterranean Cold Beatroot Salad for optimal health

                       "Good Food is the Foundation to Good Health"
Living my early years in Greece I grow up with the best of foods, cooked with love and affection for what is the best to serve to the family. A well cooked meal was always on the table and I was never of the children who disliked any food. I knew and felt that it was made with the greatest ingredients and the most important one was the ingredient of love and the wish to provide the best to your loved ones. I think that was also the reason I always ate what ever my family put on the table. I had the best served to me. 

One of the dishes on our family table was this cold beet and garlic salad. It's not only delicious and simple to make, beats are one of the healthiest foods you can eat. They help the body in the detoxication process due to an unique source of phytonutrients called betalains. Betanin and vulgaxanthin are two of the best-studied betalains from beets, both have been shown to provide antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification support.  

Besides all that beets promote optional health and add the most beautiful and strong shot of color to the table.
