DIET GREEN PEPPER EGGS

2 Eggs
Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Sweet Onion,  finely chopped
1/4 Cup Green Pepper, finely chopped
1 Romaine Tomato, chopped
Italian Seasoning or Oregano to your taste
Onion Powder to your taste
Salt
Cheddar Cheese

Put some of the olive oil in a small or medium skillet enough to cover the bottom. Let get hot. Add the peppers and onion and tomato. Stir. Let cook until the vegs. are soft. Don't let scorch. Add the italian seasoning, onion powder and salt. Next take the eggs and crack them over top of the veg. mixture and break the yolks. Can add the cheddar cheese now if you like cheese. Not a lot tho. Stir like making scrambled eggs. Eat.

DIET CHOCOLATE CHEESE

1 Cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 Tablespoon Cocoa Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 Pack Splenda
Mix and Chill. This helps when you just have to have something sweet when you are dieting. I love this stuff. If you like more choc. flavor you can add some sugar free chocolate syrup instead of the power. I use around 11/2 Tablespoons of the syrup. It is good when you just have to have something a little sweet.
