TODAY on MHTV: There’s no reason eggs should only be associated with breakfast. Try adding eggs to your lunch or dinner repertoire. My grande pizza omelet, (an open-faced omelet named by the 4th grade class I recently visited), will easily feed a hungry crowd. To keep things healthy, I add Swiss chard and cheddar cheese and finish it under the broiler. Slice it up like a pizza pie and you’re good to go. On the side, let everyone nibble on olive oil garlic crostini and for a post-meal sweet, try my melt-in-your-mouth, make-ahead oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

    Lucinda,

    Love the pizza omelet. The kids you were talking about, were they John Contratti’s kids? I follow his blog daily. He has become a little popular since cooking with you. Good for him. I will make this omelet for my kids.

    P.S. Hope you had a good birthday.

    I love your show and the breakfast ones are great. I can’t wait to try this.
