Leek and Pepper Omelette

"I found this recipe in Janet Wright's book "The top 100 health tips", published by Lifetime Distributers, Castle Hill, Australia. Janet says "Eating the right meal within an hour or two after excercise could make the biggest difference you've noticed yet. That's the time when your body needs - and most effectively uses - food to turn your effort into stronger muscles and increased energy levels. It's also when you burn fat most effectively. Eggs are a concentrated source of muscle-building amino acids and other body-building nutrients. They're also rich in vitamin K, which helps to heal bruises and other minor sports injuries. This vitamin works by ensuring that blood is able to clot normally, so it could also reduce the danger of blood clots in arteries." The original recipe called for groundnut oil, but I think butter would work just fine - or any other oil you have on hand. This would make a nice breakfast for an extremely hungry person, or could be shared among a few people. If you're just making it for yourself, you might want to halve it. I haven't tried this recipe yet."

Hey. I'm Talia. I like homemade food. I like Mexican restaurants. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I live in AUSTRALIA! I'm not much of a fussy eater, but I like for my food to be healthy. I think healthy food can be fun, and I love to eat! I don't really use cookbooks. I look up recipes on the internet, make them up, etc. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but that's life. I don't bite (much) so you can add me or email me or whatever it is on this site. :P Have a nice day! :) <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg">
