Heart Healer.




I've  been thinking of healthy drinks for a while and I thought its high time I should try one. So I went on the internet and searched for some veggie drinks. This drink came up in search and luckily I had all the ingredients for the drink. 

The Heart Healer is a veggie juice with powerful antioxidants and properties that improve heart function, hence the name :)

- Tomatoes are rich in the heart protecting and cancer preventing antioxidants. 
- Carrots adds a sweetness to the juice and many more antioxidants. 
- Celery helps reduce high blood pressure and improves heart health. 
- Kale is a nutritional powerhouse.

Ingredients:

2 medium tomatoes
4 carrots
4 stalks of celery
4 branches of kale.

Super easy juice, just add everything to the blender and press start.

PS: To be honest, I didn't like the juice as is! so I cheated, ask me how???
Well I added 3 table spoons of sugar, haha. I wanted to add honey but unfortunately I didn't have honey at home!

Mediterranean Omelette

Today, I woke up to the text message informing that my group meeting was cancelled!! OKAY!! What should I do -  let me treat myself by indulging in an amazing omelette.

So, to make this omelette all you need is couple of eggs, one cherry tomato, half onion, some spinach and Parmesan cheese!

To make this amazing dish, you need to saute your veggies. In a medium skillet, saute your quartered cherry tomatoes, minced onion and diced spinach. You want to cook your fillings before you add them to your omelette because they wont cook further! Add some oregano if you'd like, I didn't! why?? I didn't have any in my kitchen! Add a pinch of salt and pepper! Take them off the heat and put them into a bowl after the tomatoes are broken down a little bit, make sure they are not completely mushed.  Add about 2-3 table spoons of Parmesan cheese to this mixture.

Next, your omelette! take two eggs, whisk them. Add salt, pepper, 2 tea spoons of milk and whisk them again. Pour the liquid on to the skillet, once the edges are set; use the rubber spatula to push the edges in and allow the uncooked egg to come in around the edges! By doing this you will form curds in your omelette! When you believe your eggs are set, add your filling. Just put it over half your omelette! slide your spatula underneath the uncovered part of the egg and flip it over! And there you have it, a delicious Mediterranean omelette! Perfect if I do say so myself!



Thanks for stopping by! have fun! cheers!
