What a week it has been!  It's been one of "those" weeks around here.  Are you a stress eater?  I AM!!!!!!!! When I am super stressed, give me CHOCOLATE or something crunchy and salty like the perfect chips and salsa!  Yesterday was a STINKER of a day.  I was out running errands in the afternoon and it hit me, the I MUST HAVE SOMETHING RIGHT NOW OR ELSE type of feeling, right before you burst into tears or explode.  All I could think was how badly I wanted guacamole and chips with salsa or a Braum's chocolate ice cream cone!  As soon as I realized what was going through my mind, I made it stop.  I asked myself, Really, you want to undo this great feeling you have had and set yourself back three days for a few chips???? I think NOT.  I kept driving.  I drove right past every single yummy stop along my way and as soon as I got back to my office and settled back in, this is what I had...

EMERGENCY STASH OF GF PRETZELS...6 PRETZELS - NO GUILT!!!!

WATER WITH LIME...REFRESHING!

 I am so glad the weekend is here and it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy the long weekend.  It is so unbelievably hot and even at dinner time it is still sweltering outside.  I couldn't bring myself to step out back and fire up the grill last night. I opted for a yummy Spinach and Mushroom Omelette for dinner last night and it hit the spot!

Ingredients
1 egg plus 2 egg whites
1/2 cup baby spinach
1/2 cup thinly sliced mushrooms
Garlic powder, onion powder, cracked black pepper, dried parsley flakes

Directions
Heat non-stick skillet and saute mushrooms on low heat until tender.  In place of oil, I added a tablespoon of water to the skillet after it was hot and the mushrooms were cooking.  The water evaporates so your mushrooms aren't wet, it just helps the mushrooms soften and brown.  At this point I added a sprinkle of my seasonings.  Feel free to add salt if you are not watching your salt intake. 
I have an omelette pan and it makes FABULOUS omelettes.

This pan is from Williams-Sonoma.  Mine is an older version of this pan but makes great omelettes!

Whisk your eggs together and pour into your non-stick skillet or omelette pan if you have one.  Next, place your spinach and mushrooms ontop of the egg mixture and sprinkle with your dried seasonings.  Cook over med-low heat and roll over if using the pan or fold in half if using a skillet.  Slide the omelette onto a pretty plate, sprinkle with parsley and ENJOY!!!

BE HAPPY! BE ACTIVE!  BE THOUGHTFUL! HAVE A GREAT DAY!
