Tonight’s Dinner: 7-31-2021

[Activity2004]

Tonight’s dinner was an omelette with Swiss cheese and Cheddar Sharp cheese. The omelette was also made with liquid eggs. For dessert, we had key lime meringue pie (I had the pie without the crust). The entire meal was 31 total carbs.. Everything was really good and I enjoyed it. Very light meal.

i thought omelette was always made with liquid eggs - cos when you break them theyre liquid to start with before you cook them

The liquid eggs don’t have yolks and aren’t yellow. 😀👍

I've never heard of liquid eggs. I alway use fresh. What are the benefits of liquid eggs and how do you buy it. Is it from a shop?

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to happytulip]

Liquid eggs come in a container with a lid that is on the side of the ‘box’ and they don’t have cholesterol in them. Also, they don’t need cracking when you use them. 😀👍

I think I'd prefer the fresh eggs from my neighbours hens, although each to their own! 😁 I put the egg shells in my garden wormery.

Hi Leah I love an omelette so followed with lime meringue sounds even better.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Hidden]

Thank you for saying that, Hidden . The omelette was really cheesy after everything cooked together. The pie was good, too and we have leftovers for another night coming up soon.😀👍👍

I like omelettes too Leah and Key Lime Pie is something I've never had but it sounds delicious. I'm glad you enjoyed it all. xx

Hi springcross ,

Key lime pie has meringue fluffy points as frosting on the top after the filling and crust is added. I will do a picture next time if it’s possible.😀👍

What type of omelette do you enjoy the most?😀👍

[springcross in reply to Activity2004]

Thanks Leah.

My choice of omelette is mushroom and garlic with a little bit of cheese and parsley. xx

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to springcross]

This sounds really good for an omelette filling/to be included inside. I sometimes use mushrooms if we have them in the house at the time. 😀👍

Cheese omelettes are real comfort food aren't they Leah? They are a great go-to when you are in a hurry too. A good idea to balance out its richness with the tanginess of a key lime pie too! A winner dinner!

Hi Sue,

Yes, omelettes are wonderful comfort food and definitely quick to prepare anytime. 😀👍

It’s been a while since I had key lime filling and the meringue. Really good!😀👍
