Breakfast

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...

I don’t know about you, but when its icky outside, I want to bake.  It’s been tough these past two weeks not to make my artisan bread in 5 minutes, or my chili stuffed baked potatoes.   Since I stocked up on canned pumpkin at Aldi the last time I was there, I decided to make pumpkin scones. Thanks to Tastespotting, I found just what I...

I had planned on making soup with the leftover roast we had over the weekend.  Have I mentioned that Tony doesn’t usually do leftovers? I think meatloaf, cold pizza and fried chicken are the three things he’ll eat leftover.  So I had leftover roast and I decided to make a soup with it. Only one problem, I forgot to make it!  But I had an...

We had an absolutely beautiful morning for our Altzheimer’s Walk! It was a wonderful way to start the day! Over the summer I bought a baked donut pan.  It quickly got lost in my sea of kitchen accessories, but I saw it the other day and since it was a rainy, dark morning yesterday, decided to give it a try. I wasn’t exactly sure how...
