Okay, so…truth be told, when I mentioned to my husband that I was going to post this, his response was, “Does anyone really need instructions on how to make an omelet?” Great question! Probably not, but I still remember my first time trying to make an omelet and not being sure if I was suppose to throw the cheese and other ingredients onto the top of the omelet before flipping, or flipping, first, etc. Needless to say, I had a few messed up, and gooey, omelets before I got it just right. 

I remember years ago in middle school making an omelet every morning before heading out the door. Back then, however, I didn’t add anything to the omelet. It was simply egg and nothing else. These days I like to be a little more adventurous and add some meat and cheese to my omelets, ham to be exact. And I must be honest, I’ve eaten a ham and cheese omelet for breakfast for the last two weeks straight! It’s all thanks to the left over ham from Christmas, don’t worry, I put it in the freezer so it wouldn’t spoil. But it’s been a fabulous addition to our mornings.
