Mini Post - Skinny Broccoli and Cheese Mini Omelets

Skinny Broccoli and Cheese Mini Omelet

Yep, I said Skinny! If you are on Weight Watchers which I am seriously thinking about trying again you have to visit Skinny Taste if you haven't already. They have great Skinny recipes and they have the points listed for you. You don't even have to be on a diet to eat these it is just good food. I know I just did a post with Chicken and Broccoli Cups but these just look so good and yummy I had to post them as well. I love those easy muffin tin recipes because they are just so darn easy to eat and the kids don't make a big mess.
