Italian Omelet

Are you a stick by your menu household? Do you even make a menu? What to have for supper is sometimes a challenging question at my house? Since I know things come up, I try to keep my menu planning simple for the weekdays. I already plan a day with leftovers since I know there will be an extra flexible day to catch up on the menu when we didn't eat according to the menu. Every week, I take a poll of what to have for supper. A lot of times I receive the standard answer I don't care. Well, the night we are to have spaghetti then all of a sudden someone cares and wants something else. Well, I didn't have omelets on our menu.  I will admit my youngest daughter has been asking for omelets so I figured why not. The kids loved it. They added onions to their omelets. If you have picky people in your house, this is the perfect meal to adapt. I really like the flavors plus it's a quick meal.
