Are you keeping up with your resolution to eat healtheir meals this year? I'm trying to keep my resolution, but breakfast is always the hardest meal for me. Normally, I do not have an appetite early in the morning and am usually too sleepy to think of healthy choices. It's so much easier just to grab something that isn't exactly the best thing for my body.
I have found it is easier for me to have a healthier breakfast if I have a few recipes I really like, so I don't have to put a lot of time or effort into a healthy meal. This Low Fat Sausage And Cheese Omelet is one of my go-to recipes for a simple, yet delicious breakfast or light lunch.
Eggs and sausage both have protein, but they can be high in fat. However, it is easy to adapt recipes you love by switching to healthier ingredients. This Low Fat Sausage and Cheese Omelet is a great way to enjoy eggs and sausage with a lot less fat than a traditional omelet.
Sometimes we think eggs are only for breakfast, but this meal can also be served for brunch, lunch, or even dinner depending on what you serve with it. If you can eat fruit on your diet, a simple fruit salad with a variety of melons is a nice way to balance the meal.

Visiting from Full Plate.
This is such a pretty plate--all the colors and textures. I know what you mean. Breakfast options are often way too sugary and/or full of fat. This is a great option.
What a beautiful omlette! Mine always turn out looking like a child made it, ha! I'll have to try this recipe out sometime. :)
Blessings,
Leslie
Yes! I like the sound of this. Your pictures are fabulous! I'm going to make this. Breakfast can be so boring for low carb eaters!
Thank you for sharing.
Have a great weekend!

Your plate looks so appealing and delicious! The fruit is such a good accompaniment to the omelet and complements, so well, the yellow of the eggs. And to think, it's healthy to boot!
Looks wonderful for breakfast or lunch - you have a lovely blog!
Saw this on not your ordinary recipes link party. I am always looking for great ways to use up all of the eggs my chickens lay.
