Do you ever wonder what your readers are looking for? I know I certainly do. After creating numerous squidoo pages, e-zine articles and other pages to promote traffic to this blog, I have found out I haven’t a clue as to what people are looking for. Some of the highest traffic producing articles are ones that I thought would produce the least.
I suppose the best way to find out what people are looking for is to simply ask. There are several web sites that offer free survey codes. What an awesome service! And surveys aren’t limited to blogs. You can use them for your website. Maybe you are interested in creating myspace surveys? Whatever the case, you can easily find a poll service that can get you the answers your looking for. Check it out

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to stop eating out. We spend a tremendous amount of money on fast food every week, and when I sat down to figure out exactly how much money was going to the golden arches, I was astounded. I think the biggest reason we turn to fast food is because of my failure to plan. The children participate in activites 3 nights a week, and when we get home the kids are ready to eat. I rarely have anything prepared or anything that could be prepared in a reasonable amount of time. So rather than cook, we get in the car and head on over to good ole Mickey D’s.
Aside from the financial consideration, I realize fast food is horribly unhealthy. For the last three weeks I have been doing my best to find quick and easy recipes and planning a weekly menu around them. The kids love this omelette recipe, so I have decided to share it with you.
2 eggs
2 tbs mayo
2 tbs sour cream
Feel free to top with veggies, cheeses, meat or even salsa.
Directions:
Separate egg yolks from the egg whites. Beat the egg whites until they form peaks. Then place the egg whites in the refrigerator and allow them to chill for 3-5 minutes. Mix the egg yolks with mayo and sour cream and season to taste. Once the egg whites have been given enough time to chill, fold the yolk mixture into the egg whites. Once both egg mixtures are combined place the mixture in a round casserole dish. Spread the mixture out evenly. I always spray my dish with Baker’s Magic. You might want to use Pam or brush the dish with olive oil. Microwave the omelette for 2 minutes on high and then remove from the microwave. Place your toppings in the center of the omelette and return the dish back to the microwave to cook for another minute. Before removing the omelette make sure it is thorougly cooked. Depending on the power setting of your micorwave, you may need to return it to cook for an additional minute. Once the omelette is cooked, fold it over and serve! It can easily be cut into 2 servings.
This omelette has such a wonderful rich taste about it. It is also incredibly fluffy. I often make it using light mayo and sour cream. In doing so, I don’t notice any difference in the taste. Nick tells me it is the best omelette he has ever had.
