Breakfast

Where the hell are my manners?!  Thank you for all your sweet comments on my new hair cut – so far I’ve been able to style it – so instead of taking 2 minutes to get ready for work, I am now up to a whole five minutes, including make-up. 😀 There is a reason I don’t bake very often.  Simply put, I am not...

I was reading Nicole’s blog the other day and she made a potato crusted quiche.  What?!  You know I am the queen of crustless quiche.  Without a crust I can add more cheese. 😀  Her question of the day was what is your favorite quiche.  Hands down mine is spinach and goat cheese.  The biggest problem with ordering quiche in a restaurant?  The damn onions!...

Thanks for all your well wishes for Hannah’s birthday yesterday!  Since she had school all day yesterday, we decided to go out for sushi on Sunday night.  Here she is ready to go: Although Hannah and I don’t do raw sushi – we like the pot stickers, aged dashi tofu, tempura shrimp and veggies – you know, all the healthy stuff – ha! Tony wasn’t...

I love making frittatas because its almost a “what do I have in the fridge” sort of dish to put together.  I love red potatoes, simply because you don’t have to peel them.  Several recipes that I saw called for putting raw potatoes in the frittata – but I wasn’t sure they would be cooked all the way through – there is nothing worse then...

When the temperatures are about 30 degrees I almost feel like I don’t need to wear a winter coat.  The sun was shining yesterday morning, and no matter the temperature, I always feel better when the sun is out.  😀 It’s funny, but when you blog just about every day with everything you eat, you sometimes go into waves of eating the same thing over...

Stay tuned for a sweet and savory muffin recipe . . . er, or is it a scone – let’s call it a scuffin!  I am happy to report that Tony has been able to eat a little more this weekend.  He’s had chicken and wild rice soup and eggs with toast.  May not seem like much, but after 9 days of not eating solid...

I cannot tell you how happy we are to be home!  When Tony was in the hospital and slept, we usually turned all the lights off and turned the t.v. down – at least now when he’s resting I can do laundry and some household chores. 😀 So I am trying to put a meal plan together for the week and its a tough one. ...

Holy cow.  That’s all I have to say about my breakfast yesterday morning.  I saw it on Heather’s Dish, who adapted it from Oh She Glows – what’s great about this breakfast is that it would be perfect for a brunch because you could make as many as you needed and they can be baked ahead of time.  I just heated it up in my...

When I saw how much leftover corned beef I would have, I immediately decided to make a Reuben quiche for breakfast yesterday morning.  Allison, you will love this! Reuben Quiche (printer friendly version here) Makes 4 servings (255 calories, 16 fat, 3.7 carbs, .4 fiber and 23 protein) Ingredients 3 eggs 1 cup egg whites 6 ounces corned beef 2 ounces Swiss cheese 2 ounces...

I am sure they have been done before, but I somehow got the idea to make Hannah and I breakfast nachos yesterday morning.  I cut four corn tortillas and sprayed them with Pam, sprinkled with a bit of sea salt and baked for 12 minutes at 350. I cooked the bacon in the microwave, and chopped that up.  I then scrambled 3 eggs.  When the...
