HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
First of all, I wanna wish all you mothers out there a very Happy Mother's Day! My husband, nieces and I are sleeping over my parents' house tonight. I am hanging out in the family room with my Mom and nieces sitting beside me while I blog. It's a nice feeling being home with family. 🙂
Second, I want to continue Part 2 of my Oprah story, what happened the day I met Oprah Winfrey. So on a beautiful Friday morning in New York City my friends and I showed up at Radio City Music Hall on May 7. Everyone was so dressed up, including myself in a HOT PINK dress and black high heels. What do you expect? This is Oprah! We were seated by 8:30 am. The anticipation was building, I didn't even use the bathroom once. In less than 2 hours I was going to see Oprah Winfrey. Finally, at 10 am the curtains rise, and there she was, standing confident, yet modest, in a shimmering hot pink gown, the legendary Oprah Winfrey. We were all on our feet clapping, screaming, I even shed a tear. Her presence was so powerful which made me emotional. I LOVE OPRAH! The May 7, 2010 episode featured Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, Nate Berkus, Suze Orman, and Christina Aguilera. In addition, I got to see the gorgeous Vanessa Williams and the evergreen Susan Lucci, whom I must say looks absolutely stunning in person. It was a great show and an awesome experience. After Oprah, my friend and I went to Eatery for lunch. I am going to write a restaurant review on Eatery which I will post soon. The remainder of the day was spent with my sister. It was just the perfect way to spend a Friday... Oprah, friends, and family. I wish every Friday could be like this. 🙂
Now let's talk about food... this morning I had some leftover Avocado & Black Bean Salad from Thursday so I decided to make an Omelette for myself. I opted not to add cheese because lately I have been eating out too much. Go ahead and add cheese though, it would taste amazing. I also used 1 egg and 1 egg white. This would be a great healthy breakfast treat for your mom on Mother's Day. Hope you like it.

INGREDIENTS:
DIRECTIONS:
1. Prepare the Avocado & Black Bean Salad or if you have leftovers, even better.
2. Crack an egg and an egg white.
3. Add salt, black pepper, and red chili powder. Whip the eggs.
4. Heat a pan on medium heat and when hot, add a teaspoon of oil.
5. Pour the egg mixture into the pan.
6. Cook for a few minutes until the bottom is golden. YOU DO NOT NEED TO FLIP THE OMELETTE.
7. Add the avocado & black bean salad on half the omelette. At this point you can add mexican or cheddar cheese to the omelette.
8. After a couple minutes, flip half the omelette over the salad. When the salad heats up and the omelette is fully cooked, turn off the gas.
9. Place the omelette on a serving plate.

I like the avocado black bean salad by itself. It tastes ok paired with an omlette, but in my opinion, the avocado and black beans overpower the taste of the eggs, and the texture becomes a bit mushy. Will try it next time with less avocado and more cheese. 🙂
