Herbs & Omelette

Posted by Carole Anne on October 25, 2009

My favorite dish is omelette, with cooked asparagus in the center and shredded cheese (we use light cheese such as skim mozzarello, provolone, asiago) as it not only looks deliscious when served, but the taste  is unbelievably good; plus, we have proteins, veggies, and herbs.  This tasty dish may be served with a whole wheat, healthy toast.

INGREDIENTS:

4 eggs room temperature

1/4 tsp sea salt

pinch of freshly ground pepper

1 tbsp minced chives, parsley (preferrably fresh)

1/2 tsp fresh tarragon

2 tsp butter

NOW FOLLOW ME:

Using your whisk brush, whisk  together eggs, sea salt, pepper and 1 tbsp until mixed well.  Then stir in parsley, chives and tarragon.

Using a non-stick skillet, melt half the butter over medium heat, so it is spread evenly in the pan. 

Pour in 1/2 of omelette mixture, allowing the egg mixture to cook until the bottom is slightly golden; then add the asparagus filler and grated cheese mixture on top of asparagus.  Fold omelette in half and place mixture on plate.  Repeat procedure for second omelette.

Voila!  Oh, my tastebuds are telling me it is time to make an omelette!

Healthy Living receipe  makes two omelettes, loaded with healthy herbs, eggs for protein and cheese for more protein.  Asparagus provides the vegetable portion.  Fast and easy, can be made for any meal.  

Serve with healthy grained brown toast.

APPLE TART DELIGHT

Posted by Carole-Anne on December 16, 2008

We just love this delightful coffee cake or dessert as you wish, which we have reduced the amount of what we call the “baddies” in cooking.  If you are diabetic you may replace the sugar with Stevia’; notice the cream cheese is the light or low-fat and the flour is a Nutri-Flour which is half regular flour and half whole wheat.  Apples maintain healthy living for all of us, no matter what age.    

 

1/2 cup softened butter
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup Nutri-Flour by Robin Hood
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1 package 8 oz reduced-calorie cream cheese

1/4 cup sugar
1 free range, organic egg
1-1/2 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 tsp cinnamon
4 cups Granny Smith apples, sliced and peeled

Now Follow Me:
  

Cream butter and 1/3 cup sugar until light and fluffy.

Add vanilla and beat well.

Add flour and cinnamon and beat well.

Spread onto bottom and 1 inch up sides of a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.

Beat light cream cheese and 1/4 cup sugar until fluffy.

Beat in the egg and vanilla; then spread onto crust.

Combine remaining sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl adding apples into mixture.

Arrange apples in an attractive pattern on top of filling.

Bake at 450°F for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 400°F/200°C and bake 25 minutes.

Cool apple mixture thoroughly and serve..

Makes 8 deliciously healthy living servings. Enjoy!
