Apple, Bacon, and Blue Cheese Omelet

This recipe comes from the cook book, “15 Minute Low Carb Recipes". I loved it. The combination of the tart apples and the sharp cheese was delicious. I used turkey bacon and feta cheese in stead of blue cheese because it was what I had on hand.

3 slices bacon (I used two and it was plenty)
¼ Granny Smith or other crisp tart apple, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons butter, divided
2 eggs, beaten
1 ounce crumbled blue cheese

Start the bacon cooking in the microwave-if you don’t own a microwave bacon rack, a glass pie plate will work just fine.

While the bacon’s cooking, melt 1 teaspoon of butter in your omelet pan over medium-high heat. Add the apples, and fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until they’re slightly golden. Remove the apple slices and keep them on hand.

Melt the remaining butter in the skillet, slosh it about. Add the eggs and cook until the eggs are no longer shinny (pull up the edges of the eggs letting them run underneath until the egg is cooked through). Arrange the fried apples on half the omelet, top with the blue cheese, cover the pan and turn the burner to low.

Go back to the bacon. Crumble it over the now melted blue cheese. Fold and serve.

Apricot and Nutmeg Smoothie

Tip for blending frozen fruit: I love how frozen fruit gives a smoothie that thick, cool texture, but hate when I end up with bits of frozen chunks that were just to hard to blend. I have found a simple solution. While I am going through my morning routine and I know I am about five minutes away from breakfast, I pull out my frozen fruit and put it in to my blender cup with the amount of milk I am going to use for my smoothie. I let it sit there while I finish up with my hair and make up. By the time I blend my smoothie it is soft enough that I don’t end up with big frozen chunks, but still frozen enough that I get that smooth, thick texture I love! I made this smoothie this morning. We have an over abundance of apricots at out parents house and I froze bags and bags of them! This smoothie turned out to be surprisingly tasty!
