Dessert for Breakfast: Fruit Omelet & Spiced Coffee

The Holiday Season is a time for decadent foods. The cold weather will force you to add layers of clothing on top of your body... So what's another 5 pounds on that frame? I mean, there's always the New Years resolution to take care of your November-December sins.

This recipe is a variation on an omelet I had while visiting a California restaurant. The version I ordered was during springtime. It was filled with banana, berries, melon & yogurt.

Fortunately, all things delicious don't have to be calorie loaded... Unless you prefer it that way.


Ingredients:
Blackberries - 1 handful
1 Plum, Sliced
Fresh Chopped Pecans - 1 handful
2 Eggs
Marscapone
Cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon
Nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon
Coconut Oil
Heat Coconut oil in a pan. Add Blackberries, Plums, Cinnamon & Nutmeg.  Cook for 3 minutes.
 Add Pecans. Heat until fruit becomes soft.

Scrabble Eggs and cook a thin omelet.


 Add warm fruit to the omelet.

Add Marscapone and fold over.

But wait! You can't have this delicious plate without a cup full of yum....


Ingredients:

Coffee
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
1/2 tsp Pumpkin Pie spice
Stevia (or Sugar) to taste
Milk (or cream)


Brew Coffee

Add Sugar & Spice to cup.

Add Vanilla. Whisk with a small amount of hot coffee.

Fill cup 1/2 way with coffee. Shake up your Milk until frothy and top off cup.
Don't forget to add a dash of spice.

If you wanted it to be even more decadent top with whipped cream!

Slurp the Coffee, lick the plate! This one is worth every calorie ;)

Super Easy Fruit Tart/Pie Recipe

 The Howell's had a bunch of fresh apples at the Farmer's Market. I got all these apples for just $1.75! Mrs. Jackson from the Farmer's market gave us these Kiwi... Bi-Lo had a sale on pie crust - buy1, get 1. So, I decided to make a fresh fruit tart, 2 actually.

 INGREDIENTS

2 Apples
2 Kiwi
1/3 cup Blueberries
1 cup plain yogurt
1tsp vanilla
1tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 ready made pie crust
1/2 cup Stevia or Sugar



Bake pie crust as instructed on box.
In a small bowl mix yogurt, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
Slice apples thin. In a separate bowl add apples and blueberries. Sprinkle with sugar to coat fruit. Slice kiwi.



Assemble tart. Spread the yogurt mix on the bottom of the pie crust. Next, layer apples, then blueberries and kiwi.
 
 
 Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.
 
 
Voila! Super easy.
 
I like to eat this with ice cream, yum-my!!
 

*Note about Yogurt*
I never eat fat free yogurt. I thin k it tastes funny... but more important - it's not so good for you!
