The shower omelette was born when I realized I didn’t prepare anything to take to work for breakfast. While I easily could have bought something downtown, I told myself “you have food to use up!” So before I jumped in the shower I put a non-stick skillet on my stove over high heat for 2 minutes.
Scrambled two eggs, then put the eggs in the pan, put in some baby spinach and ham, turned off the heat, put a lid on the pan and went and jumped in the shower. When I was done with my shower, my shower omelette was cooked!
Now, I have an electric stove, so there is some residual heat even when I turn off the heat – you’ll have to play around with this with a gas stove – maybe heat the pan a couple minutes longer?
My omelette was 3 points (thank you cheese) my biscuit was 3 so breakfast was 6 points.
https://www.mybizzykitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/img_3862.movI am not sure that video is working above – but Jenn and I went to the culinary center to check out the space . . . again. I did a little “show” as if I had my own – ha! Below is one of the only professional head shots I had done – it was for a diabetic magazine back in 2013 (I was 45 then and now I’ll be 51 in March!). It’s funny because whenever I wear red, which is so infrequent, people tell me that it’s my color. When they handed me a red dress to put on I was like “what?!!”
More ironic was that we did the photo shoot at The Chopping Block – before I ever worked there – I puffy heart that place.
I made tomato noodle soup for lunch yesterday – people – if you make soup with noodles always cook and store the noodles separately and only bring them together when you reheat the soup – you’ll thank me later for not having noodles that taste like ass.
The base of the soup is zero points, and the noodles were 6, so 6 points for lunch.
I did a quick grocery stop after work yesterday – it’s Cooking Club tonight! Our first of 2019 – can’t believe in August we will have met for 4 years already.
They had pub burgers in the meat bin – so duh, I bought them. I took 3.5 ounces and made this burger – I am calling it 6 points because it probably isn’t ground sirloin and there was some chopped cheese in it. On the side were baked potato fries – a cooked baked potato that I cut into fries and then deep fried – I made homemade tortilla chips for Cooking Club last night, and the deep fryer was going š I count 1 point for the oil, so my open faced burger dinner was 10 points.
Stay tuned for this black bean hummus – I am anxious to see what my Cooking Club friends think – I’ll post the recipe and recap tomorrow.
Happy Thursday friends – make it a great day!
Thanks so much, Biz!! Will try it for sure using that time….so easy….maybe I’ll call mine the “make the bed ” Omelette! Have a great weekend!! š
Hi Biz…..I love your blog! I’m an old senior lady just cooking for myself…I’m not diabetic but am cooking healthy because I’m 75 š (You have to start sometime, right?) I love omelettes! I also cook on electric (ceramic glass top)…….I just can’t seem to ever get the “inside” of the egg cooked enough for me, so I think your shower omelette might be my solution…..But I need to know how long your shower might be (I know…wierd…but being older, my showers last about 20 min)…….Not to get too personal, but can you give me an idea of how long to let the omelette sit with lid on to get fully cooked? Being retired, my omelette might be called a “sit and rest omelette”……Thanks, Biz! š
Hey Nancy!! I take quick showers during the week – only one bathroom to three people! 5-7 minutes is usually the amount of time I leave the lid on – let me know how it goes!!
I wish you could come to my house and make some fried food for me. I’m so scared of frying at home. I leave it to the professionals. I did get an air fryer, but its not the same. When I was with my ex, I bought a very expensive waring pro fryer and it made the house smell to high heavens. I barely used it. I let a friend borrow it and never took it back cause I hated fying at home. Have you ever made the omelet in the ziplock bag that you boil? I want to try that one because I don’t like any brown on my eggs.
Is that a delicate squash in the picture? Talk about foreshadowing!
It is!!! Who knew?!
One of the meal prep things I do is chop up a container of veggies in the beginning of the week for omelets, stir fries, etc. I guess you can call mine a blow dry scramble – when I get out of the shower I throw the veggies in the pan to saute – by the time I’m done getting ready they’re brown and ready for eggs
You know what I think is funny amazing? You are standing there posing with what is now your beloved delicata squash . I do love that photo of you and yes, red is your color. Shower omelette cracks me up. I had someone tell me the other day they make fish in the dishwasher. So happy you clarified you don’t actually make the omelette in the shower just in case so people were wondering. (haha). Can’t wait to see cooking club dishes.
