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. 



Good food for tummy

GOLDEN TREASURE BELL PEPPER WONDER



"Nature itself is the best physician."
Hippocrates


Are you going to drink juice then make your own! And fresh made juices are greater then any expensive bought vitamin supplement! 

It's more preferable to eat all the greens and fruits to get the fibers for a healthy gut but also chewing is good to add digestion so make sure you eat some. Juicing is good to refresh your body and in a fast way get the nutrients those babes provide, not all can eat what's needed always so juicing is a great alternative and we all love to have a tasty refreshing juice so instead of buying expensive and not so nutrient juices go ahead and make yours or keep you to water drinking the most excellent refresher with zero calories!

But hey I love homemade juice they taste like heaven and I know this is also a great way to make tricky kids have their share of the natural food we need for a good health so come along juice with me and get to know my golden treasures. I feel like a true treasure haunter and indeed we are that whenever we eat and drink natural food. :)  

My golden treasure juices are beneficial to enforce immunity as they are high in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory components and depending on the blend beneficial to many different issues. Enjoy the blends mmm delish, love to you.

For this blend I chose bell pepper for it's high vitamin C content that boost immunity, important antioxidants which protect against free radicals. They also are a good source to vitamin B6, thiamin (B1)  good for supporting cellular metabolism, a good source for vitamins A, K n E n carotenoids who provide antioxidants and anti-inflammatory health benefits and they also contain the healthy omega-3 n omega-6 fatty acids. Also benefit from phytosterols, help to lower the  cholesterol. The more ripen the pepper the higher in the above qualities but the green pepper i used is worthy and good as used.  Perfect may I say. Look at those colors blending. Cheers ;D

To consider: for the note bell peppers as many other foods in the group of nightshades food as potatoes, tomatoes,eggplants.... they are not good for sensitive people and those with joint diseases. Researchers recommend elimination of nightshade foods from the meal plans of individuals with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or problems like gout.
