I love to cook and even more I love to eat the food I cook so I take great pride in preparing meals. Good food isn't just a great source of energy so I can get out the door to train hard and perform at my best, it's also my second passion. In this newsletter and the next, I’d like to share three recipes with you.

This first meal is a very "light" meal, one to be eaten during a recovery week of training. You can make this for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can always add to it if you need more of a meal but for breakfast I like to just eat the omelette to start off my day. Fresh bread or some toast is a nice complement to this meal as well. You can always add some carbs to the meal if need be.  

Omelette 

The beauty with omelettes is that you can really put anything in them. My go to is an onion, green bell pepper, and mushroom. 

I sauté all of this in a non stick pan until tender. Then whisk with fork two to three eggs in bowl.  Pour over the top of the veggie mixture, cook on a lower temperature than you think... I like to add some cheese after about two minutes then cover and let cook a little longer.  When the top of the omelette is no long "liquid" then fold the side over. Cook for a few more minutes and then flip to the other side. I like to then add some avocado to the top.

Tomorrow, I'll give two more recipes of meals I like to eat when I am recovering from a hard training session.
