I slept in to a whopping 8:40 this morning. Dang – even now, I’m impressed with myself. I’m usually a pre-dawn riser, so that was a big deal. I was dreaming about playing soccer and I remember thinking that I really didn’t want to wake up. But I did. After groggily stumbling downstairs, I did some yogadownload (morning flow #1) to slowly come out of my hibernation.
Then on to breakfast…
I wanted the combo of veggies and eggs, but I’m not very good at flipping omelets, so I always bake them.
Step-by-step…


Sauté the veggies and whip the eggs.


Preheat the oven to about 350* – then decide you want corn and tomatoes with the other veggies and add them.


Unless you have a non-stick pan that can go in the oven (I do not) – it is crucial that you spray non-stick around the edges of the pan before adding the eggs. Otherwise, you’ll be scraping breakfast out of a screaming hot pan. Oh, and add cheese of your choice, I went with cottage. Then pop the whole thing in the oven.



Top with avocado and hot sauce of choice.
And because I don’t really feel “full” unless I have some sort of grain, I toasted ww English muffin with butter and cinnamon.

Such a good breakfast.
I ran a few errands after this, and then came home to eat more. This one is a repeat from yesterday. Lo siento.

Lettuce, cucumber, shredded carrot, green bell pepper, tuna with mustard, hummus and balsamic vinegar.
To round out my lunch, I had four delicious Fig Newmans.

I forgot how much I love these little things. So chewy and satisfying.
I’m off to enjoy the last weekday of my fall break!

What a great method of cooking an omelet. I have never heard of that but it makes perfect sense for people who have trouble flipping (I include myself in this mix). Your English Muffin with butter and cinnamon reminds me of being a kid, I used to always have cinnamon toast for breakfast or really anytime. I like your new signature and picture too
I ALWAYS had cinnamon toast for breakfast…it is a total throwback for me too.
Oooh, yummy looking eggs. I just tore out a recipe for microwave omlets.

Your baked omelet looks gorgeous!
The key to pan flipping an omelet is patience….wait until the whole thing sets and then ease it over. I have practiced a lot with this one and now it’s easy peasey!
Thank you for the tip! I guess I will just have to give it a few more tries…
Yum! I had never heard of baking an omelet before but it looks yummy and fluffy, a.k.a. omelet perfection.
Enjoy the rest of your fall break!
Im loving the fig newmans, too! So satisfying. And WW english muffin with butter and cinnamon is one of my FAVORITE snacks!
Your blog is so cute! I’m super jealous you got a package of Newmans’ Own- their snacks are my favorite packages cookies!
ENJOY YOUR LAST DAY OF VACAY!!!

I have never seen an omelet made that way, but it looks great! When I get an over again, I will try it. I have issues with flipping too, especially when I am filling it with lots of good veges!
