It’s Tuesday. Anyone already looking forward to the weekend? You too?

I have, what I consider to be, the best job in the world but there is nothing like rolling over in bed and realising that it’s Saturday. That’s why when I’m in a week that is going a little too slowly for my liking I like to plan ahead for the weekend. I’m certainly not advocating  wishing one’s life away but it can be a great deal of fun to plan and focus on something you’re looking forward to. So, as part of my new Breakfast Series I’ve come up with a fantastic and easy to make omelette that is bursting with colour and flavour and takes no time at all to make. This is important if you have guests visiting or you simply like to take your breakfast back up to bed with you on the weekend. Time spent on the outside of the bed-covers must be kept to a minimum when it’s chilly outside.

These amounts make four generous omelettes. You can find a weight conversion chart here if needed.

• Chop the pepper, coriander/cilantro, Cherry tomatoes (sliced), olives (no pits), Feta cheese (sliced thinly) and onion (sliced thinly)
• Whisk the eggs in a bowl
• Pour a quarter of the eggs in to a non-stick pan with some gently heated Olive Oil. Don’t allow the pan to become smoking hot as you’ll burn the oil.
• Keep on a medium to low(ish) heat.
• When you can see that the underside of the omelette is beginning to cook add a quarter of all of the chopped ingredients to one side of the omelette.
• Allow the omelette to continue cooking and the filling to begin to soften and melt
• By cooking the omelette on a low heat you’ll be able to gently heat the filling without burning the bottom
• When you can see that the bottom of the omelette has begun to turn golden in colour flip the empty side of the omelette over on top of the filling and push down gently on top to help seal everything in.
• Continue to cook slowly on one side and then carefully flip over to finish on the other side. You may need two spatulas to flip these omelettes over successfully as they are not only full to the brim but really rather heavy for an omelette and you don’t want it to split in half and empty its contents back out into the pan.
• Serve immediately. If you are worried about keeping the omelette’s warm while you cook others then heat your oven before starting and pop them in to it to keep them warm.
• I served mine with some delicious brown soda bread

These omelette’s went down super well. Due to the high levels of protein they fill you up without leaving you feeling bloated so even if you do eat them in bed you shouldn’t have any trouble getting up and grabbing the day by the shoulders when you decide to.

No turning over and falling back to sleep in a carb induced coma after these babies.

I’d just like to say a huge thank you for coming on over to my brand new Facebook fan page.

However, if you join my fan page you’ll get the low down on all that’s going on with regards to giveaways, news, brand new posts, events and exciting things. So you’ll never miss out on a thing.

Before I head off for the day I’d just like to show you this great message from the lovely lady who won the Kenwood Multi Pro Food Mixer before Christmas.

“Thank you so much.  This is an awesome gadget with so many functions that it will take a while to use all of them!  The best bit is that my kids like using it so much that they ask if they can help with the cooking now.”

Thanks again
Kathrine”

This type of message is one of my favourite types to receive because it means that the giveaways are not only nice to receive but are helpful and are GETTING THE KIDS INVOLVED! Nice one, Kathrine.

I have an amazing bunch of people reading this site daily and I can only repay you by coming up with more ‘stuff’ to make you happy on a daily basis. Thank you for allowing me to do so.
