Throwback Thursday Recipe: Omelet

Delicious Omelet

Throwback Thursday and again I am going back to my teen years. I moved out at the ripe age of 16 with little skills in the household other than raising a baby. (My sister is 11 years younger and mom worked nights) Dad (a germ-phobic) cooked dinner and I raised the baby. So at 16 I had little kitchen skills.
The first thing I learned to make was an omelet. Eggs were cheap and healthy. Plus I could also make cakes, pancakes, and more with them. I remember making the first few ones in my little tiny efficiency apartment. The stove looked into the neighbor’s bedroom window. I messed up so many of them and just had scrambled eggs that day.
As a child I loved to get omelet at the restaurant that my mom worked at. I loved the one filled with everything. Bell peppers were one of my favorite foods as a kid and that omelet come filled with them. Today I still enjoy an omelet for breakfast but I no longer get to eat the bell peppers. I have adopted an allergy to peppers. That’s the great thing about an omelet, you can stuff just about anything in them and they are tasty!
