Baked Potato Omelets

-

What a fun way to enjoy an omelet! The combination of potato, ham, cheddar, and egg is delicious! I made a few with mushrooms and onions and the other one was just plain without the veggies. That one seemed to cook faster.
 

 
Use Omelet ingredients that work for you .

 
I rubbed olive oil on the potatoes and baked them uncovered in a baking pan @350° until they were done. About an hour and a half. Allow to cool then cut a slice off the top and scoop out the center leaving a little on the inside of the skin. These were smallish potatoes and I used 2 eggs with some milk but 3 eggs would have filled them a little better.
 
3 medium potatoes, baked
3 eggs
1½ Tablespoons milk
diced ham
diced onion
diced mushrooms
shredded cheddar cheese
Homemade bacon Bits
Parsley flakes
salt and pepper to taste
 
 
To those of you who stop in here to read and have taken the time to tell me personally that you do. Thank you! I'm always amazed to know that you take time out of your busy lives to see what might be happening in my kitchen :) You have blessed me!
 
                                                                                   
 
There are like a million and one things I should do today, for instance:
 
The basement looks like a war zone. We were starting an innocent little remodel and discovered mold behind the wall. Not cool! So now it is not such a little thing, and it stinks like Clorox!
 
The weather threatens for the weekend and the leaves should be done before that happens.
 
I have a few flowerbeds that should be done before that happens as well.
 
The usual cleaning and laundry that goes with a Friday.
 
It is overcast and all I want to do is brew something hot and bake some pies and take care of that other recipe that's been on the back burner in my mind for a long time.
 
Okay that wasn't quite a million and one things, but they all take so much time! 
 
But... I do have helpers ☺ so it's all good. The basement wall is ready for the dry lock paint, the boys and Lin are on schedule for that after school/work. The outside work is actually kind of therapeutic and I plan to do that today. Whoever invented the back pack leaf blower was a genius!! The cleaning can be done tomorrow, (Serena can help with that), along with the baby meal I'm preparing for a friend. Which reminds me I need a plan and a menu for that. The laundry can be multi-tasked in today.
 
The brewing and baking, however, may have to wait but they won't be going anywhere. Why is it that the fun things always have to wait, or is that just my business before pleasure mindset?
 
I bet you feel better now that you know this stuff. ☺
 
Hope you have a wonderful day!

    Hello! I don't know you but I know your in-laws from growing up together tho they are a bunch older than I am. After you wrote what you did this morning about people who have commented on your blog I thought it's only right that I too let you know how much I've enjoyed your writings, photography and recipes! So thanks and please keep it up!!!!

    I know so well what you mean about having a million things to do, on a Friday, especially!! Just so you know, there are more people around that understand that feeling!! Best wishes!

    Remember always though, that relationships are far more important than what you get done in a day's time. For one thing, you never know when your loved one/s may be removed from you. (I speak from experience...) It's all easy to say, hard to do...... =)

    I grew up in Lancaster but have lived most of my adult life in KS. My parents used to be good friends of your in-laws parents on both sides actually. It's a small world!! Brenda N.

      Thanks Brenda for stopping in and for the encouragement! It is too easy to forget and the reminders are always a good thing! They did get to work on the painting but didn't quite get all of the first coat on. I'll have to ask my MIL if she knows you :)

    I think you can leave the leaves! They will blow away all on their own with this storm! ha.

    I love this recipe! You know, many times, if we have a left over baked potato in the frig, I'll chop it up and add it to an omelette! This is just a more beautiful way of serving it! ha. I'm going to make these soon...yum...we love omlettes!

      ha yeah I didn't bother too much with the leaves. I had more pressing things to do like transplant and spray things I didn't want anymore.

      Oh let me know how you enjoy the omelettes! I thought they were yummy!

    Martha, what a fun idea (and a delicious sounding one) these omelets are! I love unique renditions of old favorites! Oh, and I know what you mean about having a zillion things to do ............ but I can always think of an excuse to bake! :) I guess it's therapy for me!

    This is very cool! The potatoes--not the basement or the storm or that list hanging over your head. I say brew and bake first!

    Thank you for sharing these unique omelets with See Ya In the Gumbo this week.

    I am dropping in from See ya in the Gumbo to check out these awesome potatoes:) These look amazing and you are a kindred spirit: a foodie and a person with a list a mile long with so many projects and chores going on all at the same time.

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, starting on
