One of the fun things I love to do during summer time is growing and taking care of the vegetables that I grow in my little backyard garden. Gardening is work but it is such a fulfilling experience when I get to harvest them and make simple delicious and healthy meals with them. Try my delicious healthy vegetable omelette recipe!
As a novice gardener, bell peppers and tomatoes are probably some of the easiest vegetables to grow. They need some care but are not high maintenance at all. But most of all, they go well with anything. I can add them to any dish and they will taste great!
Tomatoes is one of my all-time favorite vegetables. Its natural umami taste makes it a perfect addition to any dish. They brighten them up and gives a dish that final flavor roundup that it needs. They freeze and can well. So you can grow as much of it as you want over summer and preserve them for use the rest of the year. They are very healthy for you because they contain a significant amount of lycopene, the antioxidant that has been associated with various health benefits such as heart disease and cancer prevention. They also provide your body with a ton of vitamin C, potassium, folate and vitamin K. [1]
Bell peppers, on the other hand, displays a generally sweet flavor profile and therefore pairs very well with the herbs that I have chosen to use in this omelet recipe. The use of fresh herbs also helps to replace any additional salt that is needed to properly flavor this dish. Bell peppers also contain a high amount of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. I always like to use a variety of different colored peppers to make sure that I am. Remember? Eat the colors of the rainbow!
This is an extremely easy recipe to make on a weekday morning as breakfast and I am sure it will wow even the pickiest eater in your house!
