Quick and Easy Weight Loss Recipe-Omelet In A Freezer Bag

QUICK AND EASY WEIGHT LOSS RECIPE

omelet in a bag
 
So sorry, dear reader, I have not posted a prettier picture, but this one conveys what you will do with this quick and easy omelet recipe! We can thank my sweet hubby for this idea! He went to a Men’s Breakfast and this is what they served….an omelet cooked in a Ziplock Freezer Bag!! You will never do it any other way…so glad he reminded me of this! This is perfect if it is for one or if you want to do a breakfast brunch for a church group or co-workers on the weekend! Here we go!
 
INGREDIENTS:
 
2 eggs
2 slices ham, chopped (optional)
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon chopped onion (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped green bell pepper (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tomato (optional)
1 tablespoon chunky salsa (optional)
2 fresh mushrooms, sliced (optional)
 
DIRECTIONS:
 
1. Crack the eggs into a large resealable freezer bag. Press out most of the air, and seal. Shake or squeeze to beat the eggs. Open the bag, and add the ham, cheese, onion, green pepper, tomato, salsa, and mushrooms. Squeeze out as much of the air as you can, and seal the bag.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place up to 8 bags at a time into the boiling water. Cook for exactly 13 minutes. Open the bag, and let the omelet roll out onto a plate. The omelet should roll out easily.
That is it! You can do any variation you like. Just throw it in, zip it up, and boil. I usually put a little more cheese once it is out of the bag. You may also want to plate a cup of fruit that is in season! Enjoy!!

Quick and Easy Recipe-Chili Rellenos Bake

Quick and Easy Recipe

If you will remember, precious reader, last August I developed symptoms of a racing heart (tachycardia) and was put on a “beta-blocker“. I found out the hard way, that these medicines can make some people gain weight by virtually shutting down the metabolic rate in our bodies. Some it doesn’t do this to, but guess which category I fell into?? Ugghh!!
Today as I got my hair colored (don’t tell anybody that part! Lol.) and cut I looked at my face I could see the weight gain and I just cannot stand it anymore! I have decided to go back to my old way of eating which made me feel so much better! I may not drop a pound, but at least I know what I am doing is what is right for me!
Some years ago, I lost over 50 pounds on a high protein, GOOD carbohydrate way of eating! It isn’t no carb! You can have fruit, but you have to stay away from processed sugars and all starches. I am NOT RECOMMENDING you do this!!!!! It works for me and if this is something you do, I have some yummy recipes to share! Remember, NEVER do anything without consulting your physician! Now let the cooking commence!! :)
