Easy Healthy Omelette!

1:00:00 PM


I haven't posted a recipe blog in awhile now, I'm sorry! This one is a two-for-one! 

Let’s just get straight to the point here. Eating healthy is difficult! The entire Summer, I’ve decided to tr my best at staying healthy and eating less sugar. Though it’s always a good thing to allow yourself to have a “cheat” day once in a while. Mine have usually happened during family events and other gatherings, I mean..you really can’t expect me to pass up that chocolate covered dessert can you?
 Recently, I had been left home alone. Meaning I would have to fend for myself and make my own dinner so I wanted to share what I made with you! I learned this recipe from my mom who actually made the omelets first, and ever since then I have fallen in love with them!
Being home alone, also meant I had to come up with something that would satisfy just one person! 


 You will Need: 
-2 eggs
-About a cup of diced peppers ( you can pick and choose which ones you like and dislike in the mix) 
-about a cup of diced onion
-Salt
-Pepper
-Bacon bits (only if you want!) 

First, get out the peppers and onions and dice them, unless they're already diced. You probably won't use all of them if you're using a whole one, again it depends on how many you're making! I used frozen red and yellow peppers and frozen onions just because they had already been chopped up nicely into little squares for me! The green pepper as sliced so I cut a few into squares as well!
Put the pan on the stove top, first spray it with PAM or wipe it with margarine, it'll be easier to clean at the end. 
Add in the peppers and onions
Once they start sizzling, add in the eggs ( you can choose whether or not you want the yolk or not, it's good either way!) 
Then add in the bacon bits
A little salt, and as much pepper as you see fit. 
You can also add cheese! Which I did and it was great! 
I know it doesn't look like much, but it was really filling for me! 


I was actually pretty proud of myself for making this by myself. I hate cracking eggs open but I did it anyway! 
I hope you give it a try! 

But wait! There's more! 
I also had dessert! I have been loving making myself some smoothies this Summer, so I decided to listen to my sweet tooth and try something new! 
I used a banana, three scoops of Caramel Ice cream, and a handful of strawberries. 

It was delicious and perfect for the hot day outside! 


Do you have a favorite healthy recipe? What's your favorite thing to bake? Do you have a favorite smoothie? 
I'm thinking of doing a separate smoothie-recipe/idea blog post, leave a comment if you like that idea!

Thanks for reading! See you next time!

Caramel Crunch Bars

1:00:00 PM


 Being home now on Summer break means I get to try out some recipes! This one was actually brought on by my mom, who wanted to get rid of the caramel bites we had in the cupboard! They're really easy to make, and don't take that long at all! 
   



You will need:
8 inch square pan
4 and  a half graham crackers
1 package caramel bites
2 tbsp Milk
1/2 cup cocktail peanuts
1/2 cup mini marshmallows
1/2 cup coarsely crushed pretzels
4 oz semi-sweet melted chocolate

First things first, line the pan with tin foil, leave the ends of the tin foil extending over the sides of the pan. Grease the foil, I used regular Pam spray. 
Place Graham Crackers on the bottom of the pan. I'm not really sure if I actually used four and a half crackers. I just put them on as they fit. Besides, at the end when you eat this, it really doesn't matter if they do break since you have to break it apart to snack on it anyway!

Microwave the caramel bits and milk (together) in a microwavable bowl for 2 minutes. Stirring every 30 seconds. This being said I just did four segments of thirty in the microwave! 
Make sure the caramel and milk are well blended. 
Then pour the the mixture over the graham crackers.


Don't forget you can definitely lick the spoon if you really have to! ;) 
I put all of the peanuts, marshmallow and pretzels into one bowl, so it would be easy to spread them on top!
I didn't have any mini marshmallows so I used big ones instead and I cut them up into fourths!  
Then melt the chocolate, I used semi sweet and milk chocolate, since we didn't have a full bag of semi sweet! 
Drizzle the top with chocolate. 
Refrigerate the entire thing for an hour. 

When you're ready to eat, use the foil handles to remove the Caramel Crunch from the pan before cutting into it! 
Serve and enjoy! 

I really enjoyed this one and I'm really glad I found this recipe! I hope you give it a try! :)
