Best Breakfast Evaaa!
Well..kinda, I woke up really hungry so I made an epic omelet using random stuff from my amazing friends Christina and Kim's fridge. While Kim made some delicious pancakes!It gave my day a great start (and not just because I got to sleep in until 11!). Food does the craziest thing, not only being a source of nourishment for our bodies but also having the power to change our moods for the better. Dont believe me? Test it one day;
Challenge #1- Go through a tough day of work(make sure you have a headache and a sour mood), then eat a big plate of something warm and delicious that you've been craving. Then see how much more delightful life is after. :)
Even more amazing than food for the body, is food for the soul. What might that be? (Its about to get spiritual up in this blog..) God's word for starters! It does the same thing for your soul that healthy "body food"does for your body. Not to mention, if consumed regularly you get really close to God and start realizing there are little miracles and blessings he uses to communicate with you daily.
Challenge #2- Start you day off not only with breakfast but with a big heaping bowl of God's word and a tall glass of prayer to go with it ;) It does wonders for the rest of your day, trust me.
Anywho, now that im done telling you my life story... here's some recipes!
Latin Vegetarian Omelets
serves: 4
8 eggs
To Taste Salt & Pepper
TT Red Pepper flakes
AN some sort of cheese *I would use mozzarella, but you can use pretty much whatever cheese you like, its best to stay away from a strong overpowering cheese though :p
AN Fat *I say fat because its really up to your preference, you may use butter, veg. oil, olive oil..the possibilities are endless...just don't use baby oil, that would be weird.
For Filling:
*I like doing the filling separately from the raw egg because if you dont use all of it you can always dip some chips into it later!
