Hello, friends!
I hope you slept well and are ready for a new healthy breakfast idea and recipe!
But before we go to that, here’s some exciting news I wanted to share with you first.
Yesterday I was accepted to Girls Gone Sporty as their Ambassador! I am extremely honored and excited to be part of this community of like minded people 🙂 I look forward to connecting with more fitness world girls out there. Here’s my Ambassador Profile on GGS if you want to check it out.
Go GGS!
More on the blog subject:
I have two wonderful things shipping my way from Amazon:
Canon PowerShot ELPH 130 IS 16.0 MP Digital Camera, and JOBY Gorillapod Flexible Tripod!
I am SUPER excited to get those! I have my DSLR, but I mostly shoot with my iPhone. I’ve been debating whether or not to get the point and shoot camera for quite a time and decided to go with it. I will be able to say more once I try it out (never owned a Canon cam before – I’ve always been a Sony girl), and most importantly – you will be the ones to judge whether or not my pictures get better with the new Canon 🙂
And of course, my husband called me a “gadget-head” when I told him I ordered those 🙂
On the food front:
It took me a while to wake up this morning, but once I did, I was ready for a breakfast I haven’t had in a while – Omelette with mushrooms and grape tomatoes.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup of milk
- 1 medium bella mushroom
- 3-4 grape tomatoes
- Green onions to garnish
- Shredded cheese
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Cut tomatoes in half, chop mushrooms and the white part of onions.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan and add vegetables. Saute for 2-3 minutes until soft.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk, salt and pepper and whisk until well blended.
- Pour eggs into the pan over vegetables, cover and cook over medium-low heat for 4-6 minutes until the eggs are not runny.
- Shred the cheese (or use already shredded cheese of your choice) and cut the green onions for garnish.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate, fol in half. Add cheese on top and garnish with green onions.
Easy, isn’t it? 🙂
Lunch today was quick and simple – sandwich with whole wheat bread, provolone cheese, turkey breast, fresh cucumbers and baby spinach. Yum!
And the snack of the day (my new favorite!) is Planters Heart Healthy Mix from their Nutrition product line:

Oh I just love those! They have just the perfect amount of salt, and the mix includes peanuts, almonds, pistachios, pecans, walnuts and hazelnuts.
Look how beautiful it looks when you open the box (unlike most nut mixes looking at which makes you wonder where exactly they came from and how clean they are):
This is definitely a keeper! Will have a box of those at my desk at work all-the-time 🙂
On the fitness front:
still dead quiet…Since my knee injury I have not been exercising as actively as I usually do (no spinning, no running). I feel terrible….I am going through a serious withdrawal from my exercise routine of working out almost every day. I can’t wait for my doctor’s appointment tomorrow! I wish she said I’m OK and can go back to exercising right away. But most likely she won’t… Will keep you posted, friends!
Stay fit and take good care of yourselves while doing that 🙂
I hope you will feel better and get back to exercising soon!
By the way, just an observation – beware of Planters, they are very often pretty processed and have MSG and other nasty stuff…
Thank you! I hope so too! As for Planters…I checked, this one’s all good 🙂
