Omelettes

It is a delicious, healthy meal that can be breakfast, lunch or dinner. And suitable for all ages.
Omelettes are super versatile and easy to throw together. Once  you’ve got the basic ingredients, you can literally throw in any vegetables or protein that’s on hand.
To make the basic omelette, all you really need is eggs!
Heat a non-stick fry pan over medium heat and lightly spray with oil.
Crack a couple of eggs into a bowl and lightly whisk them with a fork.
Add your favorite herbal seasoning then pour your egg mixture, then swirl to cover the base.
Cook for 1-2 minutes until the egg starts to set but its still a little raw on top.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and you are ready to add your favorite ingredients. Such options include baby spinach, diced tomatoes, smoked salmon or cheese!
When the edges are crispy, use a spatula to fold in half to cover the filling and cook for another minute or until golden brown.
Omelette is plated and served
Yummy!

Meal prep

One of the best habits I’ve ever learned is to MEAL PREP. Not only does meal prepping makes it easier to eat healthily, it’s also a huge time saver and it takes out all the guess work when deciding what you’re going to eat! So I want to share some top tips for effective meal prepping!
ü Stock up on pantry staples - Stock up on ingredients like beans seeds, rice and grains. These items can be purchases in bulk, which often works out cheaper and can be stored for longer lengths of time in the pantry.
ü Prepare ingredients - To make meal prep easier, focus on preparing ingredients rather than full meals. Wash, chop and prepare your vegetables and store them in airtight containers in the fridge.
ü Store ingredients correctly. No one wants to waste food. So ensure you store each ingredient correctly and separately.
ü Keep it simple - Choose simple meals and snacks! Remember meal prep is supposed to make your life easier. Select a few key meals that you can rotate through to keep things simple but interesting.
