A couple of nights ago, I brought dinner over to my sister's house. Meaning, I brought a quickly thrown-together macaroni salad and uncooked steaks. My brother in law seasoned and barbecued them, knowing what an idiot I am around any form of appliance that prepares food. When we finished eating, there was a LOT of steak left over. I initially told them to keep it but then he insisted I take at least one home. He said, "just cut it up really small and throw some stuff together to make an omelette or something."
I have never made an omelette. I've made scrambled eggs and boiled eggs, but flipping things without breaking them has never been my forte (I wish I had a pic of my butchered pancakes for evidence), and I figured I'd just end up either making a sandwich out of it or leave it in the fridge long enough for things to start growing on it and chucking it out.
Well, tonight I did the unthinkable. I made an omelette! It was a thing of beauty (only a tiny bit broken...), and I got really creative and along with the (very thinly sliced) steak put green onion, red pepper, and low fat cheese in it for flavor. I also seasoned it with some mild salsa, and it was super tasty! I ate every scrap and didn't even feel guilty for not sharing with my dog (she's on a diet, too).
While I feel a bit silly for being so proud of myself over such a small thing, I'm owning the pride. I prepared a healthy and delicious meal without catastrophe!
