TODAY I DON'T FEEL LIKE DOING ALMOST ANYTHING

Today I don't feel like doing anything, I just wanna lay in my bed; as Bruno Mars' song goes. I think that everybody feels the same sometimes but then you get hungry and you have to change the lyrics a little bit to " Today I don't feel like doing almost anything". When this day comes, cook the following omelet. It is healthy, low-cal, delicious and of course easy-to do! 

Ingredients

2 servings

3 eggs

50 grams broccoli florets

60 grams feta cheese

1 soring onion

4 black olives

1 tomato

Olive oil

4 tbsps. milk

Salt

Pepper

Oregano

Instructions

Put broccoli in boiling water for 2-3 minutes to soften.

Cut the broccoli, the spring onion, the tomato and the feta in small pieces.

Halve the olives and remove the stones. There is an old trick to halve the olives quickly. Put them on a cutting board and press only one each time with a wooden spoon. 

Break the eggs and beat them gently in a bowl. Add milk, salt, pepper, oregano and continue to beat until they combine together. Preheat the olive oil at medium heat in a round pan. Add the omelet to the centre of the pan. Tilt the pan so that the eggs spread out evenly over the bottom. When the edges begin to turn yellow and thicken flip your omelet using a spatula. Leave the other to be cooked.Slide the omelet onto a plate and sprinkle the vegetables, the olives and the feta over the omelet. Salt and pepper and  good appetite!

GREEK SALAD

(OR AS WE SAY IN GREEGE…VILLAGE SALAD)
Okay, let’s start with the basics! Greek salad is the most common summer salad in Greece. I don’t know even one Greek tavern or restaurant that doesn’t serve it. If you wonder why, take a look at the recipe below… It’s really simple, quick, delicious and the ingredients are easy to find (at least in Greece).



Ingredients 

4 Servings 

3 tomatoes
2 peppers
1 cucumber
½ red onion
3 ½ oz (100 grams) Feta cheese
4 tablespoons olive oil
A pinch of salt
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
Some olives (green or black)

Steps

1. Cut the tomatoes into wedges.
2. Cut the peppers into rings.
3. Pill the cucumber and cut into small pieces.
4. Slice onion into rings.
5. Cut the Feta into cubes.
6. Put all the ingredients into a bowl.
7. Add the salt, the dried oregano, the olive oil and the olives.
8. Toss everything together.

Ready!!!

DO!!

• Don’t stick to the vegetables proportion. It doesn’t matter if you use 3-4 tomatoes it is a matter of taste nobody will understand the difference. 
• Try to find biologic vegetables, I know they are more expensive but the smell and taste will be much better. 
• Soak the onions rings into a bowl of water for a quarter. The water will reduce the burning when you eat them (As far for the smell of your breath after eating them sorry I don’t know any tips…) 
• Use low fat feta if you are keeping a low fat diet.

 DON’T!!!

Use the following ingredients: vinegar, lemon, mustard, mint, garlic, pepper, lettuce and basil! Just DON’T! Maybe some of them look really good choices but these aren’t used in Greek salad.

TIP

Combine the salad with fresh, bread and don’t be shy to soak your bread to the bowl!! It may be a rude eating habit but the olive oil with the juices of the vegetables and the bread are so delicious!
