Ooh ooh. ooh ooh. ooooohh...I've Got a New Attitude...

I have officially started back over on the South Beach Diet! I cleared my pantry and fridge of all "bad" and "carby" things and stocked up with fresh veggies, lean meats, eggs, beans, low fat cheese, nuts, and I even got some diet orange soda, sugar free Jello, and Breyer's Carb Smart fudgecicles to treat myself for doing so well! Here is a sample of my healthier fare...(Thanks to my awesome SIL, Alicia, for the wonderful idea of snapping pics of your groceries!)

I have already made all my breakfast and lunches for this week, except I still need to make a pot of chili for something I can grab for lunch or dinner in case I get tired of salads. (Which, I'm sure I will because it was all I could do to choke one down today...) But, I digress. Here is the recipe for the yummy breakfast I made for myself to eat this week. I call it "Omelet Casserole"

Ingredients:
10-12 large white or brown eggs
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
1/2 of a yellow onion, chopped
1 small can of mushroom slices, drained
salt and pepper to taste
approx 4-6 oz 2% shredded cheddar cheese
cubed ham

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350. In a greased 8" x 8" glass pan, crack the eggs and scramble them well.
2. Once eggs are scrambled, stir in ham, bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms and season with salt and pepper.
3. Bake uncovered 30-35 mins.
4. Sprinkle cheese over the top and bake for 10-15 more mins until browned around edges and eggs are no longer runny.

Once cooled, casserole can be cut into pieces and you can freeze individual slices to microwave and have for breakfast throughout the week. :)

Enjoy!
