I should watch this, too, lol. I'm never able to fold them well.

What's For Dinner? - 2023

I used to watch Julia Child's PBS show. I learned how to make an omelette from her. Over time, I have done some tweaks to my omelettes. It was the first thing I ever cooked on my own. I remember it so clear. I was kind of fearful to attempt it, as both my parents were really good cooks. I remember the look of surprise, when I said I was going to make an omelette for myself: and then the looks of their pride when I finished it, and it came out good. They were so proud of me!
I always have cheese. Sometimes I add some ham, some previously sautéed fresh veggies, and that is it. With a couple slices of toast, it is a great meal.

Judging by the list of ingredients you put in the omelet it's possible you had too many things in it which is why it broke and you had trouble flipping it. I've had the same problem since I load mine up with veggies so I can relate. This is the reason why I usually end up making scrambled eggs instead.
Speaking of which, breakfast for dinner tonight - scrambled eggs with zucchini, green onion, avocado, red/green pepper and swiss cheese. Plus a morning bun I got at the bread bakery today. I've never tried this one before so hope I like it.

Hubby's birthday dinner...chicken marsala,noodles and the marsala sauce and his beloved lima beans.Made him a chocolate cake and turned it into a Washington pie (filling was cherry pie filling and pastry cream) with a drizzle of ganache over the top.He had no idea of my plans so was very surprised!

Looks good, but needs some veggies!!!
Yeah, I like mine loaded with veggies too. Did you mix the avocado in or on the side?
Lunch: Brother brought me some NY bagels. I think this one was an everything bagel, it has seeds and stuff on it. I made a bagel sammich with miracle whip, superhot carolina reaper power, vegemite, baby spinach, kidney beans, vegetarian crumbles, extra sharp cheese.
Dinner: Half a Jreck's vegetarian sub, looks like it had provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, hot peppers, banana peppers, oil/dressing, oregano. My brother misunderstood me. I told him I like to keep subs for a couple days so they get soggy. So he told them to really pour the oil/italian dressing on to make it soggy!!!
Last night was broiled lemon thyme salmon with rice pilaf and green beans.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Lizzie! 
M maggiedemi I always use a good nonstick pan for omelets. Otherwise, no matter how much I try, they'll stick. Every time. Three eggs whipped with a fork and a bit of milk or cream. I don't know why, but I always add milk or cream to my eggs. If you want salt, just a pinch. Plenty of butter in the nonstick pan (use about an 8-inch pan). Medium-low heat; you want the eggs to cook, but you don't want the bottom to get too brown. Throw the eggs into the pan. Tilt the pan and lift up the edges of the eggs, so that the eggs can flow down into the pan. Keep lifting edges and letting the eggs flow. Cook about six minutes, then throw your veggies onto one side of the omelet. As you flop your omelet onto your plate, fold it over. I get about half of the omelet from the pan to the plate, then fold the rest of the omelet over. Don't add too many fillings; that will make it harder to fold. (A nonstick pan is key, IMn-s-hO) It took me forever to figure out omelets; we ate a lot of scrambled eggs! At a local restaurant, they fold their omelets into thirds; I'm happy just to get them folded in half!
Last night, we had hoagies. Our version of hoagies, with my BIL's deli meats, caramelized onions, sliced peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, etc. And they were excellent.
ETA: Men! Rick saw me come up the steps with chicken. "Chicken! Seriously???" "Fine, dear. What do you want for dinner tonight?" "Tuna and noodles!" "Seriously?" "YES!" Went back down the steps and brought up three cans of tuna, a package of diced onions and a package of diced peppers. And a peach pie. Yes, I know, it's carb overload. I don't care. Dinner tonight will be tuna and noodles, a bit of coleslaw, and peach pie. And iced tea.

I do both but last night I chopped small pieces of avocado and mixed them in with the other veggies.
No clue what's for dinner tonight. I just had my first cup of coffee so can't think that far ahead yet.
Kids want spaghetti and meatballs again so that’ll be dinner with salad and a baguette.
I love Greek Salad, with authentic feta.. so good... I need to pick one up.. It is always better when you do not make it..OMG that sounds so good!

Almost always when I cook something, it's something I've made before. Tonight was my beans and rice, with stewed tomatoes, onion and green pepper. Makes 4 servings, so probably the same for tomorrow, then will freeze the other 2 portions.
