Breakfast of Champions! Omelet & Green Shake

Leave a comment

Eggs! Omelet from heaven! I love sending my hubby and the boys out into the world after having a great breakfast. The truth is, who has time for a complete breakfast in the rush of the am.

The Green Shake is packed with vitamin  A, C, E and K, and antioxidants! Approved by adults and kids alike!

The Value of a Friend

ECC 4: 9-10

The Value of a Friend

9 Two are better than one,

Because they have a good reward

for their labor.

10 For if they fall, one will lift up his companion…

Today I had the blessing of doing an all day cooking marathon with my good friend Nadia Gerges. I am a novice compared to this woman, owner of Le Petit Gym, mother of three/super hero! We set out to complete five different recipes of five very different things!

Of course when I say all day, I mean that we had all of two hours which was truly a combination of 20 minute sprints between grocery shopping, nursing a baby, rocking a baby, daycare drop off, school bus arrival, daycare pick up, and serving dinner early enough to make it to soccer practice, all while staying sane! I assure you, it was no small task, but together we did it! High five to you my friend!

Making life a little easier one dinner at a time

1. Hard boil a few eggs

boiling eggs

My friend Sylvia Fanous taught me to make the perfect boiled eggs. I put them in cold water with salt over medium-high heat, once  they boil, I turn off the heat, cover the pot and let them cook on their own for 10 min. Then remove them, put them in a bowl of cold water and into the fridge they go! This week, when I am pressed for time in the morning, I can eat an egg with my shake or make deviled eggs for my family. Deviled eggs are always impressive, and so easy to make. Recipe to come.
