Mixed Vegetable omelette
Sometimes I do not want to spend too much time in the kitchen, those are the days I think of some easy, quick fix dinner ideas, without compromising on my health or my families health. It is so easy to pick up the phone and dial a takeaway, but what if I told you that this dish only take few mins to whip up, probably will be ready the time spent waiting for your takeaway to arrive. ;)
Everyone knows how to make an omelette, all I did was made it more nutritional by adding more vegetables to it. I made this dinner for my little five year old and for me, we both enjoyed it, but the best compliment is when he says that this was so tasty Mummy. :) Then I am satisfied.
I hardly had anything left in the fridge and this came up just like that, made use of most of the vegetables and made it more nutritional :) So you have a protein packed dinner ready in few mins.
