Kitchen Sink Omelette ™

I call this recipe Kitchen Sink Omelette because I put everything but the kitchen sink in it!

This is a great basic recipe for breakfast or anytime. Feel free to experiment and add the fillings that you like. You can also make this recipe with egg whites and without the ham too.


1-2 T butter
2 eggs
1 T each: diced mushrooms, diced bell pepper, sliced scallions, diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese,
2 cherry tomatoes halved (you can use grape tomatoes)
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp salt (optional)

1 small clove diced crushed garlic

Crack eggs over a small mixing bowl, beat well (10-15 seconds).


Add remaining ingredients to eggs.

In a medium skillet heat butter on medium high heat. Add egg mixture.

Gently push egg mixture from side of pan. Cook on one side for 2-3 minutes. Flip omelette over to cook on other side for 2-3 min or until done.

Pizza Sauce

Folks, don't this at home! I fought the pizza dough and the dough won!

After an attempt at grappling with pizza dough, I decided the only good that came out of this experiment is my
quick and easy pizza sauce.

Next time I'll just leave making the crust to the pizza
dough professionals.

Pizza Sauce

2 small cans (8 oz) tomato sauce
2 cloves chopped garlic
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp each: dried basil, olive oil

1/8 tsp salt (optional)
1/2 tsp each: dried oregano, dried parsley


Heat saucepan on medium high.

Combine tomato sauce and remaining ingredients in pan. Reduce heat and cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring constantly. Let it reduce to get desired consistency.

Makes 1 cup.
