Thankful {plus spinach omelette muffins]

Last weekend my beloved Canadian friends and family celebrated Thanksgiving, complete with roasted turkey and red wine. All the way from Aussie land, I could smell my Moms signature sweet potatoes, roasted with cinnamon and fresh rosemary. Sometimes it's hard not being able to head home for a long weekend, overnight bag in tot. The distance is far, but sometimes I feel lightyears away.

This time last year was pumpkin chai tea, burgundy autumn leaves, and homemade apple pie. This time last year I left an unhappy job and embarked on a new chapter. A lot has changed since then. I'm more than half way done my Masters, I work at lululemon athletica and love my job, and happily live on the other side of the world. The momentum ain't slowing down. I feel as though it's just beginning.

From the food on my plate to the laughter in my belly, I'm incredibly thankful. Miles away from home, on a turkey-less sans long weekends, this year was no exception. Ironic, because I would have enjoyed turkey for the first time in three years.

Shoulda coulda woulda, I enjoyed mini omelette muffins for breaky instead. Boom. Delicious.

Ingredients:

• 6 organic free-range eggs
• 1/2 red pepper (capsicum) 
• large handful spinach, chopped
• small handful cilantro, chopped
• 1 tsp oregano 
• pepper to taste
• 1 tsp coconut or avocado oil, to grease muffin tin

Method: Preheat oven to 175 degrees. Grease muffin tin with coconut oil and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until fluffy and well combined. Whisk in chopped spinach, cilantro, diced pepper, and spices. Spoon approximately two tbsp of mixture into muffin tin (about 1/4 way full). Bake for 16-18 minutes, until light and fluffy. Enjoy with sliced tomato, avocado, or on their own. Yummers.

These babies serve as a quick breakfast and afternoon snack. 

I plan to make a variety for when my family visits this Christmas, then they'll be the thankful ones ;)

Home is where the heart is, so I'm thankful Melbourne is my home away from home.
