I know, I know. The queen of dessert breakfast has gone to the opposite end of the spectrum! Lately, I have just been on such a savory food kick. I spent the weekend before Easter making all kinds of yummy sweets and over-sweeted myself. The thought of sugar was repulsing by the end of the day. Since then, I've craved everything savory and salty. It's like my sweet tooth has taken a vacation. Which is soooo unlike me.
I was digging through the fridge and trying to find something I could make that was savory and non-dessert like. I eye balled the mushrooms and realized I needed to use them. I love mushrooms, but I'm so guilty of letting them constantly go bad and having to throw them out. I'm determined with this batch to use them all! I bought the spinach for a recipe later in the week so it was staring me down right from the front of the fridge. I'm really trying to eat more nutrient dense food. I've been sick for a majority of 2016 (I blame the extreme stress I've been under), so I'm attempting to actually remember to take my vitamins every day and get more of my vitamins from food. So here's my attempt at a protein rich, veggie filled breakfast!
You can always top it with some other things too. Pico de gallo, sriracha, and green chile are all great additions! Add a little kick in there. You could also add onions and garlic for an extra flavor boost.

Looks deeeeeeeeelish. Lately I've been having intense cravings for mushrooms (is that weird?) and I've decided that they won't go away until I give in so I've been looking up tons of tasty recipes that I can incorporate mushrooms into. This omelette looks like a perfect candidate and only 145 calories?? That's what I'm talkin' about.
