Life | Five Friday Favourites

I haven't done one of these for a while! Despite a busy and frustrating week, there was definitely a few things that made me smile...

1. This little man melts my heart, bath-time and a good old catch-up with his Mum & Dad = perfect chill.

2. The start of a month means new foodie magazines! I literally tore the Waitrose Kitchen one to pieces this month, so many good ideas and recipes in there, and scrap-booked them all for future food related fun. There's something about the cutting-out and sticking process that is entirely therapeutic.

3. I completed level 97 on Candy Crush, don't judge, but it did feel like a pretty major achievement at the time!

4. On Wednesday the weather felt cool enough to wear my J.Pumilia inspired work outfit, there's just something so American about a shirt with a vest jumper over the top. I loved it, but then it got way too warm!

5. This weekend I'm meeting up with my amazing friend Anna (Mrs. S to those in the know). We're heading to Ardencote Manor Spa and I can't wait. I think I'm more excited about seeing her than the Spa though, it's been too long!!

Happy Friday, and have a fabulous weekend x

Food | Veggie Omelette or Pizza? You decide.

We always seem to have a lot of veggies in our salad drawer....good news, but sometimes you can get a little bored of the summer salad and need a new use for those 3 left over cherry tomatoes and handful of spinach. I present to you the veggie omelette, or pizza? 

It's a bit confused. But either way, it tastes amazing, is super quick and perfect for any time of day. And did I mention ridiculously healthy and good for you?  

This is how you get one of these in your tummy pronto. 

Roughly chop/slice your veggies into smallish pieces (you want them to soften pretty quickly but not be miniscule). I have a phobia of bell pepper that is chopped too small, weird I know. But it reminds me of those frozen packs of peas, sweetcorn, and peppers that they used to serve with school dinners. In the words of one of my beautiful god children "that is yak". Word up.

Anyway, I used 3 cherry tomatoes, 3 mushrooms, 1/4 small red onion. 1/4 yellow pepper (if that) and a handful of baby spinach. But you can really use whatever you like/have available. I would always say the onion and tomato is a good shout though, and if you have any avocado available you should definitely stick some of that on top at the end - d'lish.

Next job - you want to fry/soften your veggies. I popped mine in my omelette pan with a half-tsp of coconut oil. You can use whatever oil you like but just don't go crazy.

Once they're nice and soft, tip them out of the pan and create your omelette/base. 

I use egg whites because I have them to hand for my protein pancakes, (although I have nothing against an egg yolk and regularly eat them). If you're using  whole eggs I would say you need 2, and if you're using these egg whites then you pour in enough to cover the base of your pan, a nice thick layer.

Let your base cook over a medium heat (with egg whites this literally takes under a minute, so don't take your eye off them). Just as your eggs are very nearly set, pop your veggies back on top for a last minute of cooking time....

......and get stuck in.

What do you think? If you added a sprinkle of cheese at the end, would it be a pizza?
