Poor Man’s Omelet

Let’s start with all the tools and ingredients you will need to cook the perfect poor man’s omelet: flat surface that gets hot, egg ring (omelet sized – 8″), oil/butter, fork, 3 eggs, and leftovers in the fridge.

The first step is to oil or butter the surface you will be cooking on and heat it up. You want to stick mainly with a medium heat so as not to overcook the eggs, which makes them too hard and spongy. Once your surface is heated and greased then crack the eggs into the egg ring and mix them up with a fork or other utensil that is relatively clean. The great thing about egg rings is that you can use any pan or surface you have to cook on and the eggs will stay in a perfect, workable shape. If you notice a piece of shell in the mixture than use half the egg shell you just cracked to scoop it out. Also, if you so desire, here you can add a bit of salt and pepper to the eggs.

As funny as this may seem, we have a severely skewed sense of what constitutes healthy food, and perhaps this is why people are being plagued by horrendous diseases like cancer in growing numbers.

When the majority of us hear the word “soup,” we quickly associate it with positive images. After all, soup can contain vegetables and other nutritious ingredients that are good for our body. When it comes to instant soups, opinions begin to diverge as to whether or not they are the right choice. Conventional wisdom says they are the prime choice among competing alternatives, but a quick peek at the nutritional facts on the back of these popular instant soups says otherwise.

Of all the flavors available, over fifty percent of Americans consider chocolate their favorite flavor. It’s no wonder sitting next to a fire with a hot mug of cocoa is a favorite pass time! Or why chocolate is a popular flavor in any kind of protein powders, nutritional shakes, brownies, cookies and ice cream shakes! Most women will also tell you it helps them get through their menstrual cycle and cravings.

What is hardly common knowledge, is the normal process of even good cocoa, like dutch-processed cocoa, destroys many of the antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that could have been available had it been consumed raw. There is no need to sacrifice flavor for nutrition, just switch to an unprocessed option with a brand that lists the nutritional value.

What is raw cocoa? Cacao is the raw, or low temperature process, form of cocoa. By itself, it is very rich and dark in flavor, almost like a cup of rich coffee or espresso. The slightly bitter flavor with the mouth-watering chocolate aroma is quite enjoyable. Or for a different texture of cacao, cacao nibs are very popular. I use nibs in my ice cream, yogurt, chia pudding, shakes and sometimes even Mexican cuisine. If you are adding this tasty treat to cooked food, just add it last in your recipe to warm it up without compromising on nutrition. Or try no-bake recipe options for your favorite chocolate desserts.
