BLT

Everyone knows what a BLT is and it is one of the most popular sandwiches in North America. It can be a sandwich for children or it can be a more fancy sandwich. If you want something light but satisfying then a BLT is for you. BLT's are healthy but unhealthy at the same time; this might not make sense but two thirds of this sandwich are vegetables.

Ingredients:
2 tomato slices
1 leaf of iceberg lettuce
2 slices of (any) bread
3-4 pieces of bacon
Mayonaise 




Steps:
Cook the bacon either in the microwave or in a skillet until done. Toast the bread (if you want) and assemble the ingredients on the sandwich. There is no particular order to put the ingredients in, do whatever makes you happy.

Simple Omelette

One of the best things that i usually make myself for breakfast is a quick and easy omelette. Today at work i was working at the omelette station and I really wanted to do a blog post about them. Omelettes are known all around the world and are very versatile in regards to what can go inside of them. Anything from spinach to pepperoni can be put inside an omelette and taste delicious but today I am just reviewing how I make my simple and quick omelettes. 

Ingredients:
2 eggs
2 tablespoons water
salt and pepper
butter
cheese
(any other ingredient you like)

Steps:

Using a fork or a whisk, beat
the eggs, water, salt and pepper together in a bowl until all are blended together. In a skillet over medium-high heat add butter and distribute to cover the entire surface. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Using a soft ended spatula move the outer edges of the cooked egg toward the center so the liquid egg can hit the hot skillet. Make sure the entire omelette is cooked through. Add as much cheese to the omelette as needed and fold it in half. Enjoy!

Classic Cheeseburger

I think everyone in America knows what a cheese burger is but I would like to share with you a healthier twist on the original beef cheeseburger. I like to make my cheeseburgers with turkey which is much healthier than red meat. It is so simple to make and if you have the ingredients and supplies then you can make it any time you want. 

Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey meat
salt and pepper 
season salt 
cheese
bun

Steps
Form a patty out of the turkey meat and add some of the seasonings and cook until you obtain your preferred temperature. Put cheese on just long enough for it to melt. Remove from heat and place on bun.
