Good morning!
I just want to stop by and share a super easy recipe and recommend a blog I really like. Tired of Christmas dinners? I am … So yesterday I made a simple omelette instead. Nothing fancy, but still nutritious.
All you need for three people is:
- 6-8 eggs
- Some water/milk, I guess something like 6 tablespoons
- Vegetables of your liking (I used spring onion, garlic, cherry tomatoes and paprica)
- Enough slices of cheese to cover the omelette
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- I also added some chorizo we had leftover to spice it up (you don’t need much salt because of that)
I start by mixing the eggs, water, vegetables and the sausage. Then pour it in a pan on medium heat using coconut oil. You can use olive oil or butter if you like, but if you are a fan of coconut, I recommend trying it with eggs – that’s really tasty! Add the cheese and some basil on the top. Serve with for instance (sourdough)bread and maybe a salad.
If you want you can also chop potatoes, boil them and add them to the omelette. Or if you have leftover potatoes from yesterday’s meal. Cold omelette with potatoes can also be a great option for your lunch the next day. Cold potatoes contain something called resistant starch, which the good bacterias in the intestines love, and thereby this will aid digestion, and make you feel full longer without the heavy feeling. A little extra advice there.
So, the blog! It’s called Brain Pickings (love the name!!). If you are a dreamer and want to escape reality for a little while, spend time philosophising and broaden your perspectives you should check it out. Such a great concept and so much inspiration in one place. You can spend hours in there getting lost and dig deeper and deeper.
I don’t feel like using my own words to explain the blog any further, because the writer says it so beautifully already:
“The core ethos behind Brain Pickings is that creativity is a combinatorial force: it’s our ability to tap into our mental pool of resources — knowledge, insight, information, inspiration, and all the fragments populating our minds — that we’ve accumulated over the years just by being present and alive and awake to the world, and to combine them in extraordinary new ways …
Brain Pickings — which remains ad-free an supported by readers – is a cross-disciplinary LEGO treasure chest, full of pieces spanning art, science, psychology, design, philosophy, history, politics, anthropology, and more; pieces that enrich our mental pool of resources and empower combinatorial ideas that are stronger, smarter, richer, deeper and more impactful. Above all, it’s about how these different disciplines illuminate one another to glean some insight, directly or indirectly, into that grand question of how to live, and how to live well.”
Enjoy 🙂
