"Spinach and mushroom omelette. Was good. End up more like a scramble. I did put a little hot sauce on it."
"Amazing breakfast! The hot sauce is a great way to add flavor without adding extra calories Just remember to keep an eye on the sodium content in sauces as some can be quite high! I also see those slices of whole grain bread great call"
