BISTRO OMELET WITH ARUGULA SALAD

DESCRIPTION 
Don't be thwarted by omelet cooking - it's really a cinch if you follow these simple steps. A nonstick skillet will work wonders if you're worried about stickage, but you can also use a standard stainless-steel pan; just add extra olive oil to make it slick! This recipe is easily doubled (think breakfast for two) or quadrupled (think DIY French-y brunch for your gals).

SPAGHETTI CARBONARA PIE

DESCRIPTION 
Turn simple carbonara into this ample pasta pie using its secret ingredient - eggs! - in a sneaky new way.

Figure-fanatics: Use part-skim ricotta and add an extra handful of peas, if you'd like.
