Easy Microwave Omelet

I love omelets. I think they are deliciously fluffy and flavorful, and I love that you can pretty much put whatever you want in them.  When I was in Seattle visiting my awesome Bro-and-Sis-in-law we went to a place featured on Man vs Food called Beth's Cafe .  DELICIOUSLY HUGE OMELETS! Loved them.

The problem with omelets is cooking them evenly.  I try to make them, but getting them cooked thoroughly without burning the bottom seems next to impossible.  I try to flip them, which just gets messy.  I usually end up with scrambled eggs with some cheese and veggies mixed in.  Still tastes good, but just isn't the same!

So, when I found this microwave omelet maker from Tupperware, I was super excited to give it a try.  I didn't have a lot on hand, but I did what I could.  I had some canadian bacon, green pepper, tomato, and cheese that I whisked in with the eggs, along with a touch of milk, onion flakes, and celery salt.  Ooooooh was it delicious!  All it needed was some REAL bacon!

The instructions told me to cook my omelet for about 2 minutes for 2 eggs... mine wasn't cooked all the way yet (my microwave is oooold) so I did 2 more minutes and it was perfect!  Yay for an easy way to a healthy breakfast!

Easy 4 Ingredient Berry Ice Cream

So, I just got a bunch of stuff from Tupperware that I didn't even know they sold... did you know they sell things besides storage bowls?  CRAZY!  I got this Quick Chef Pro System, it's basically a hand-cranked chopper/salad spinner/ mixer in one.  And it came with a few recipes!  One of the recipes was for "Berry Quick Ice Cream."  It only had 4 ingredients and seemed like it would be relatively quick and healthier than other ice cream. There's not a ton of sugar in it, and it's made with real berries.

 

All you need is
1 c frozen strawberries
1 c heavy whipping cream
1 tbsp vanilla
3 tbsp powdered sugar.

You put all of the ingredients in the Quick Chef Pro System, turn the blade for about 1 1/2 minutes, and you're good to go!  The recipe says your soft serve ice cream will be ready to eat (for a thicker consistency add more strawberries).  It seemed to be about the consistency of yogurt to me, though, and I wanted it to be a little thicker and a little colder, so I stuck it in the freezer for a few hours.

Final product:  Not too bad!!!  It wasn't super sweet like most ice cream, but it was still yummy.

The Quick Chef Pro System also came with a salsa recipe.... can't wait to try it!  The blades chopped much better than I expected for being hand crank.... There must be some major gears in there to get it to turn as fast as it does and as smooth as it does.  It chops so smoothly, and with so much less noise than my electric chopper!  I may just be getting rid of my electric ones.... This holds about 3 times as much as my little electric choppers AND seems easier to use as well.  I LOVE IT!
