My friend, Dora,  posted this beautiful omelet made by her friend Connie, on Facebook. I asked her for the recipe and permission to post it here in my blog. The zucchini flowers on the top make it look amazing. Thank you, Connie, for sharing. Now I have one more way of using the zucchini flowers from my garden!

baby carrot greens omelet

I thinned out the carrot patch at Herbivor Farm and kept the tender green tops for later use. 

The flavor of carrot greens is a little bitter, but with a hint of sweetness and carrot essence. Not only are they tasty, they’re also good for you. They are  packed with potassium, vitamin K, and cancer-fighting chlorophyll.

Add the greens to your stock, pesto, soups and salads.  Here I added a handful of chopped baby carrot greens to my favorite omelet.

mini peppers omelet

From Wilson Produce

Mellow, juicy, sultry, crunchy—all words to describe these little sweet peppers that we love. Our unique red, yellow and orange sweet mini peppers are bursting with flavor and nutrition. They’re naturally fat free, high in vitamin C and a great source of fiber which makes them a great addition for salads, grilling, stuffed and of course just right out of the bag for snacking.

Using only the best sweet mini pepper seed on the market today, we grow these both in greenhouses and in the fields. Rich green leafed plants grow up to 6 feet tall.  Our peppers are grown throughout the year on our farms in Sinaloa, North and South Sonora, and Baja California. It takes Wilson Produce sweet mini pepper plant 75 days to grow from a seed to a flowering plant, and 50 days from flower to vine-ripened pepper. Each plant produces 150-250 peppers that are carefully handpicked when it is just ripe and then hand packed with special care to ensuring the right mix of colors for every package.

________________________________________________

Not only are these mini peppers colorful, nutrititous and low in calories, they are crunchy, flavorful and can be used in hundreds of recipes. For the best looking salads cut these minis in strips and toss them right in. You can use the strips for dipping or cut wider strips to serve as a base for hors d’oeuvres.  Today I decided to use the mini peppers instead of regular peppers in a stir fry, which I then added to an omelet. The result was a sweeter and more colorful omelet.
