I just read an article on how good garlic is for you.
So, I am now on a garlic craze and if I say so myself I smell fabulous.
One teaspoon butter
One large clove of thin sliced garlic
3 eggs
Melt the butter
Add the garlic and cook till soft
Crack the eggs on top and cook whatever way you like.
I had over easy because I like yolk.
Place on a bun with a little salt and pepper.
Enjoy
Shaws had the blueberries for .99 cents
So I bought a ton.
They are really delicious.
I made a quick blueberry sauce to put on oatmeal.
1 1/2 cups blueberries
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
One cup dried oats, cooked
Put everything except the oats in a pan
Bring to a boil
Stir till it thickens just a little
Pour over the cooked oatmeal
This can be made with any fruit.
I put some leftover blackberries in the sauce so don’t be afraid to mix and match any fruit.
This makes enough for two portions maybe three but not in my house.
This is the perfect New Years Day breakfast food.
Half my crowd is hungover and the other half is starving.
These little balls of filled dough taste like a everything bagel and you can eat it with your eyes closed.
Mix one eight ounce package of cream cheese with 4 finely chopped scallions.
Add 1/8 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
Mix well and roll into 16 little balls
Freeze for at least one hour.
Divide one pound of pizza dough into 16 pieces and roll each out flat.
Place the frozen cream cheese in the center of each piece of dough and fold up to conceal the cream cheese
Place seam side down on a greased baking pan.
Beat one egg with one tablespoon water and set aside.
Mix one teaspoon each of onion flakes, garlic flakes, sesame seeds, poppy seeds and kosher salt.
Paint each ball with the egg wash and then dip in the herb mixture
Place back on the baking sheet
You can freeze these now and just take out how many you need or
Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for 14 to 18 minutes till they are nice and light brown.
They may ooze some filling but thats more for the cook to eat.
These can be served at room temperature but are unbelievable right out of the oven.
Next time I am going to serve them with smoked salmon, cucumbers, onion, capers and arugula.
A big plate of scrambled eggs is a must.
You can even make them sweet and omit the topping and fill with strawberry cream cheese.
Serve with a big bowl of berries.
Good bye bagels.
Pizza dough forever.
Okay I admit it, my mind is filled with old wives tales and mumbo jumbo.
“Don’t walk on a crack”, “Go out the same door you came in” etc.
I can go on forever but eating lentils on new year for good luck is a annual crazy.
I hate to admit it but I have all my kids doing it too.
All six of them have lentils cooking on their stoves as I am writing this.
My husband disliked them so he would eat only one lentil every year to make me happy.
I cooked the Lemon Lentil recipe from the blog last night and put it in the refrigerator.
Lentils have a tendency to thicken up quit a bit.
So this morning I decided to make a Lucky Lentil Bowl.
OMG talk about delicious clean eating.
One big handful of fresh spinach
One handful of leftover pulled pork
Three big scoops of lentils
2 fried eggs
3 forkfuls of caramelized onions
Just put everything on a microwave plate except for the eggs and microwave for 1 to 2 minutes till hot.
Add the eggs and whatever hot sauce you like.
OMG… Now this is the start of a new year.
Lucky Me and now Lucky You.
This is another leftover treat.
One cup cooked zucchini
3 eggs
2 slices of American cheese
One slice of flat bread
Heat a skillet with just a little butter
Heat the zucchini in the microwave till hot. Drain any liquid off.
Pour the whipped eggs into the hot pan and swirl the pan so the eggs cook evenly.
Add the cheese and zucchini.
Cook for another minute or to the doneness you like.
Place on the flatbread and roll up.
This was pretty good.
My Mom used to make this all the time when I was young.
She would cook the eggs and put it all in a fresh loaf of Italian bread.
Instead of napkins she would give us a cloth dish towel because we had to wipe our mouths so much.
3 tablespoons olive oil, butter or canola oil
3 jumbo eggs
1/2 diced large onion
2 slices American cheese
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
Heat a non stick pan with the oil.
Add the onions and cook till they are soft but not brown
Season with salt and pepper
Beat the eggs and add it to the pan and swirl around, scrapping the edges to make a fluffy egg.
Cook to the consistency you like.
I like my eggs fully cooked.
Slide them onto a microwave dish and place two slices of American cheese on top.
Microwave for 20 seconds to melt the cheese.
I use ketchup and Franks hot sauce on the side but this is so good plain.
I am watching my carb intake so I did not have bread. I will keep this in mind for my cheat day.
It is not the prettiest meal but it is so very delicious.
Since I was a young girl the bottle of Franks Red Hot sauce has been on our table.
My family used it on everything and I mean everything.
One of my favorite meals is eggs with Franks.
My Dads eggs looked totally red with all the sauce he added.
Two eggs fried in oil or butter
I like my eggs turned over.
Add as much Franks as you like
One or two slices of soft bread
One slice of cheese
Thats it!
The best sandwich ever for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
