On Sunday mornings, we like to have a big breakfast/brunch type of deal – eggs, turkey or chicken sausage, toast (with maybe a little of Ethel’s delicious honey on that), fruit salad and tea.
Yesterday, I made an omelet. I used to make them all the time when the kids were home – a big one with, like, 8 eggs. They loved it – with all kinds of fillings – and making them a lot keeps you in practice. Flipping practice. Well, it appears I am seriously out of practice. 
Just check out this photo – not a pretty sight. But, it tasted good! I filled it with provolone and cheddar cheeses, some finely chopped raw red pepper, fresh grape tomatoes and a chiffonade of basil. It was tasty, but time consuming. And, it makes a mess! (Although pictured here, the garlic was NOT in our omelet.)
Now if you want a healthy breakfast in a flash, check out these good folks at Mix My Own Healthy Breakfast. It’s a husband and wife team with a neat concept. You literally choose what you want to go into your custom mix of cereal, with tons of healthy, organic options to choose from. They asked me to mix my own cereal and review their product. I chose oats, goji berries, raw almonds, walnuts, wheat germ, bran, spelt and barley flour flakes along with quinoa, acai powder, blueberries and a whole host of healthy things. I don’t really eat cereal with milk anymore, mainly because the kids are gone and we don’t have milk around. But, I do love to put cereal on my plain low fat Greek yogurt and then drizzle a little honey on top. That’s a real energizer in the morning!
Mix My Own has tons of things to choose from (it can be dizzying) and they keep track of your combination so you can easily order it again, because who could remember? Fortunately, if you are overwhelmed and find making decisions tough, you can also order pre-mixed versions such as gluten-free or antioxidant varieties. The end resulting product is delicious, although depending on your ingredient choices, it can be pricey. They ship nationwide and my one-pound bag, with shipping, was just under $20. If you love cereal or granola-type things, visit their website and create your own combo. It’s a good thing!

A gal after my own heart. I love omelets for breakfast or lunch. Your omelet looked very appetizing.
My other favorite is Greek yogurt, blueberries and my homemade granola. Folks who don’t like breakfast, don’t know what they are missing.

Jovina, you are so right, but my omelet looked a mess!
Great looking omelet, really! Love the mess you made too. Looks familiar… 🙂
You are too kind!! Thanks!
The omelet looks great to me and I love it loaded with lots of good stuff. I think that mix your own cereal is a wonderful idea. I am going to visit their site.

Thanks Margot!! You’re sweet!
I think your flipping practice is doing just fine and, oh my, that omelet looks just delicious! The cereal mix looks very good too. I have a bowl of musli every morning, soaked in my own almond milk. I can’t ever get enough of it. 🙂 ela
Oh thanks Ela – you’re too kind. You make your own almond milk? Sweet!
Delicious breakfast ideas…I was very taken by the idea of chicken or turkey sausages. I haven’t seen them here in France, but I’m going to start looking:)
Oh Roger, I hope you find some – we love them – much better for you and we have some really tasty ones here – chicken with broccoli rabe and provolone cheese or with sun dried tomatoes and mozzarella – just delicious!
I don’t make a big breakfast every day – usually cereal and toast or yoghurt and fruit but your omelette is calling me.

Well that’s a Sunday only thing – no time during the week, right? But I have found that eating protein first thing in the morning is the best thing for me.
Like a lot! All of it looks totally delicious.
Thanks Francesa!! 🙂
I’m always on the look-out for healthy breakfasts, and this looks like a yummy one too!

Yes – thank you! 🙂
This is why I love weekends. All the kids are around, we’re all having breakfast together, and the best part is the chat with them. It’s something that doesn’t get old. Your omelet is not pretty? Remember you made that with love, so that would be the prettiest omelet. I hope you are having a great weekend Mary Frances. 🙂
Thank you Ray!! Enjoy those kids – they grow up too fast!!
My teenagers love big breakfasts on the weekends and so do I. Great omelet with all of the fixings is sure a crowd pleaser. Wishing you a super weekend.
