Most store bought condiments have a high salt content. There are many low-sodium varieties, but they often contain high levels of salt. You can make your condiments yourself, which is delicious, healthier, and also saves you money. Also, most store-bought mustards have high sugar and fructose levels. Instead, make your salsa from scratch. It has a lot more tomato flavor and is less processed.

How to make a perfect omelet
Omelets have always been a favourite food to eat for breakfast. But how do they turn out so perfectly? I've tried many different methods and recipes, but none of them seem to work! So I am sharing some tips and tricks today to help you make fluffy, delicious omelets every morning.
It is important to know that eggs can be temperamental when making omelets. It is important that eggs are fresh from an organic market and kept cool until used. If they are not kept cold enough, the whites won’t form properly. The yolks will also break down too quickly and become runny. This makes your omelets look weirdly colored. If you plan to cook the eggs right away, it is best to use room temperature eggs.
You might also try separating the egg before adding to the pan. The yolk and white should not be mixed together as this can cause the omelet's curdle.
You might burn the bottom of the egg if you place the egg directly on the stovetop. This could ruin the texture of your omelet. Instead, heat the egg for 10 seconds in the microwave before placing it in the pan. The microwave heat cooks your egg just right, without it becoming too soft.
Next, let us talk about how to mix the eggs. You want to mix the eggs thoroughly before you add them. To do this, grab the bowl of the mixer and turn it upside down. Now shake the bowl vigorously. This way, the air inside the bowl gets whipped around and mixes the egg thoroughly.
Now it's time to have fun: pour the milk into the mixture. First, pour half of the milk into the beaten eggs and then fold the eggs gently into the remaining milk. You don't need to worry if streaks remain. They will disappear once you flip your omelet.
After folding the eggs fold the pan onto medium heat. When the oil starts to hot, wait for the pan to cook. Once the oil starts getting hot, add 1/4 cup of butter to the pan and swirl it around to coat the entire surface of the pan. Now carefully crack open the lid of the pan and sprinkle salt into the pan. An additional pinch of salt will prevent the omelet form sticking to your pan.
Once the omelet has formed, cover the pan again and wait for the top side to set completely. Flip the omelet over using a spatula or flip the pan upside down. Cook the other side for about a minute. Take the omelet out of the pan and immediately serve.
This recipe works best using whole milk. Skimmed milk is also possible.
