Tasty Thursday - Vegetarian Omelette (No eggs)

This has been a crazy week. Monday was a public holiday and my cousin (who is more sister than cousin) came down from Johannesburg to spend the weekend with me. I was so excited to see her again and I made another batch of strawberry jam in anticipation of making scones with with her on saturday.. It was awesome... is there anything better than fresh warm scones, homemade jam and freshly whipped cream? Initially that was going to be this weeks tasty thursday, but they got eaten so fast and we were having so much making them that I forgot to take photos.. so maybe next time :P

The next morning, Sunday morning, I was awakened early by Blaze and Shadow. They were howling outside wanting to be allowed to be together again. We had to keep them apart when we werent there to supervise because we couldn't let Shadow interfere with Blazes eye while it was healing. After sorting them out, (we needed to fix Blaze's cone, he had broken it during the night) I was unable to go back to sleep, so I started making these delicious omelettes. Since we're vegetarian, we don't eat eggs, so this recipe has been in my family for a while.
