Dust off the cobwebs, let's get this back up and running!

I haven't posted in a while, and this is bad.

This is bad because things have changed, my diet is evolving and it's not being logged. I want to share the weird and wonderful foods that I consume every day!

This week has been very poor for diet. I was away on a business trip and had to rely on Nando's for my only decent source of protein. Although, saying that, I also travelled prepared with a big bag of beef jerky that my flatmate brought back from Florida.

It's a good thing this week is ending, because I hate going off-track!

Today is Friday, which means I am fasting. It's the best time to do it for me because it's a non-gym day, and it's always nice to cook something big up on a Friday to break the fast.

Tonight will be no different. I plan on making a big, beefy, cheesey, spicy omelette. When I'm fasting I always like to write about food!

My planned ingredients are:
Eggs (How many depends entirely on how I feel later, but it will be at least 5)
1lb mince
Small red onion
Half a red pepper
Chilli powder
Mature cheddar

Method

1. Brown the mince in a deep frying pan on the hob (I use a sautee pan)
2. While the mince is browning, finely chop the onion and pepper and add to the pan
3. Add the chilli powder and stir in
4. While the above ingredients cook and soften, crack your eggs into a bowl and beat them (it's also a good idea to turn your grill on at this point)
5. Grate your desired amount of cheese
6. Pour the eggs into the pan making sure all ingredients get a good covering of egg
7. Sprinkle your omelette with cheese and season
8. Wait 30 seconds for the under side of the omelette to cook, then place your pan under the grill for the omelette to set and for the cheese to brown.

Last time I did this, my omelette looked like this:

 

It's really beautiful, isn't it?

Now, many people make meatzzas, which I think are great. However, I think that this omelette satisfies the pizza craving much more effectively. For me I think it's the shape, but also the consistency is a lot more pizza like than my meatzza attempts.

Needless to say this is a very high protein dish, and high on fat as well. This is why for me, it's best reserved to being a fast-breaker on a rest day. It's because of this that no ingredients high in carbohydrates have been added.

I'll be blogging later to share how tonight's omelette goes - the beauty of this is that like a pizza, the topping/filling ingredients are flexible and entirely up to you.
