Trying new things before the New Year. :)

What a fun Thanksgiving that was!! I loved cooking for 2 days straight and having people tell me how awesome the food was.. and the atmosphere. Our house felt so beautiful to me and to have other people confirm it was almost more joy than I could hold inside. Most of the time I feel so undeserving of all I have been blessed with this past year. After having to leave an abusive situation, I have finally found "home". To my family and friends in Michigan's dismay it was not IN Michigan, but while I miss them so much, I have found home. comfort. love. It's more than I could have asked God for. I just asked Him to bring me out of the situation I was in and He  blessed me more than was necessary. As He always has eventually. Thanks God. :)

Moving on.. Lately I have been trying to decide whether I should buy  new clothes or just try to take off some of my happiness pounds and I came to a firm decision when the scale once AGAIN shows signs of growth.. haha. I am going to try to eat better food choices from now on. I have just been indulging myself with my happy life and making it a life STYLE. Time to get back to reality. Karen is BIG. Too big now. The goal is 10-15 pounds but 20 would be nice. :)

This morning it was an omelette. I omitted the yolks and made it my all time favorite way.. though you could add ANY filling of course. My choice was greek. :)

Greek Omelette with egg whites.


3 egg whites
1/4 cup baby spinach (chopped)
2 medium size mushrooms (diced)
3 black olives (diced)
1/4 cup diced tomatoes
1 tbs feta cheese (crumbled)


Mix well and then fry the egg whites in a pan rubbed lightly with olive oil. If the pan is large enough, like mine.. you can sautee the veggies in a little water or chicken broth next to the cooking whites.. Once you can flip the solid egg white, place the veggies on top and sprinkle with the feta.. Turn it out onto a plate once done and fold the whites over the veggies.
