About once a week or so I like a real good omelet. But not the kind you find in most restaurants. According to Men's health, an "IHOP Spinach and Mushroom Omelette (no pancakes on the side)" socks you with "910 calories, 71 g fat--26 g saturated, 1 g trans--and 1,580 mg sodium." Men's Health says you can make the same omelet at home for roughly 300 calories. I'm sure the omelet I made today had a few more calories in it than that, but it was still very healthy. Here's what I did.
Mixed 4 eggs, a 1/2 cup salsa, 1/2 cup milk, diced Roma Tomato, and several shakes of black and cayenne pepper in a bowl.
In a skillet I sauteed freshly chopped onion, carrots, broccoli, yellow pepper, mushrooms, jalapeno pepper, and a sliver of ginger in a tablespoon or so of olive oil.
Transferred sauteed veggies to a temporary plate, poured egg mixture into skillet, poured the sauteed veggies on top and then added frozen spinach leaves and a light sprinkling of shredded cheese as well.
Cooked till mostly done, then folded and flipped, cooked a minute or two more and then transferred to a container to take to work. Ate 3/4 of it for lunch and the other 1/4 for supper. Really good. The ginger gave it a surprisingly refreshing and unique kick.
