Vegan “Just Egg” Southwest Omelet
Vegan “Just Egg” Southwest Omelet is literally a GAZILLION times better than any “real egg” omelet I’ve ever had… and I used to love me some real eggs. If you have never tried Just Egg, vegan or not, you are totally missing out on a delicious and healthy foodgasm. She is the plant-based Goddess of the year – hands down. The texture, the way it cooks, and most importantly the taste, is absolutely fucking incredible. If you can’t tell, if she took human form, I’d marry her. 😉
For the 4th of July (was amazing btw), I made my beloved instant pot pinto beans (recipe to come for sure). Since I made a lb of them, I’ve been chowing down on this glory in various ways for dayssss – still not over it. I decided to throw them in my Just Egg Omelet this morning with all of the other leftover 4th grub (cilantro, avocado, vegan cheddar, etc). Remember, my food mantra, “waste not!” And of course, “Like the mind, food is a terrible thing to waste.” Anyway, to say the Vegan “Just Egg” Southwest Omelet was amazing would be an understatement.
My little dude, G, helped me out in the kitchen for a bit. Mostly, he played me music on the record player, and “taste tested” all the food I was actively trying to stop him from eating. He’s lucky he’s both cute, and the most amazing cleaner/helper I’ve ever seen in any 5 YO. Later, we made a cake (next post) that was pretty incredible. I don’t have a sweet tooth so I feel that it was a legit concoction.
Lastly, I created a store on Spreadshop for my blog! She’ll be up and running under the “My Shop!” tab in just a few days. Super excited! Loads of awesome merch with hilarious food quotes, Heather quotes, and other cool shit.
Back to the Vegan “Just Egg” Southwest Omelet… pretty sure I just changed your breakfast for life. You’re welcome. 😉
PS- “Just Egg” can be super-pricey depending on where you purchase it. What cracks me up (pun intended – lame, I know, LOL) the most about their price point is that Whole Foods is selling it for almost 50% less than anywhere else! I can state that this is the very first time I have ever witnessed WF being a better deal than virtually anywhere else.
Enjoy the Vegan “Just Egg” Southwest Omelet! For your listening pleasure, and because it’s totally appropriate, and we all need a little Beastie Boys up in our kitchens!!!…
