- ½ t salt
- ½ t dry mustard
- ¼ t black pepper
- ¼ t garlic powder
- ¼ t paprika

Abby’s Tuna Omelette
Ingredients
- 2 cans of Tuna (pref. in oil, not the water packed ones cause they're tasteless)
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- a little oil, for frying
- Heat a little oil in a frying pan.
- Drain the liquid from the canned tuna and place it on a bowl.
- Set the tuna on one side of the bowl and place the eggs beside it. Scramble the eggs.
- Mix the tuna with the eggs. Season with salt and pepper.
- I usually divide this dish into four. I use a measuring cup (1/3 cup capacity) to divide it evenly.
- Once the oil and the pan are hot enough, fry each omelette. You can fry two or more at the same time depending on how big your pan is. Flatten the tuna to distribute it evenly and get an even browning. Fry till the egg has set and it's golden brown, roughly 3-4 minutes.
- Flip and fry on the other side until it's fully cooked - golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer to a plate and serve immediately with rice on the side and some peas too. Traditionally, we eat this with ketchup but my kids prefer mayo. So use whatever works for you.
Quinoa Breakfast Bites
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cooked quinoa, warmed
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh spinach leaves
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, mix the warm quinoa with the cheese to melt the cheese. Add the egg whites, garlic, salt, and spinach leaves. Stir to combine.
- Spoon mixture into mini muffin tins, filling to the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Run a small knife around the edges to loosen and pop out of the muffin tin.
