Take Two Frittata

-

In the Spring when the planting season is upon us I always struggle to divide my time in the kitchen and outside. As much as I love to cook and bake, I find it impossible to spend more time in the kitchen than absolutely necessary. Today is no different. I knew I wouldn't want to take time for much of a lunch today because the weather is perfect and I want to spend the day(s) outside when it is like this so I decided breakfast can be where I give my body most of the fuel it needs to get through the day. It took a little bit longer than grabbing something baked and a cup of coffee or tea but I think you'll agree that it was also much more healthier than that. I remembered that I had a few juice oranges in the fridge and so I topped off my breakfast with fresh squeezed orange juice. YUM! And the strawberries were pretty tasty as well!


The ingredients are easy to remember- just two of everything whether it's tablespoons or pieces or cups. One ingredient that missed the picture was the two tablespoons milk I whisked into the eggs.

I put a little bit of oil into a small saute' pan and added the veggies and let them cook till the spinach was wilted and the onions and mushrooms were just beginning to brown around the edges of the pan. While these are cooking whisk the eggs and milk together, shredd the cheddar cheese, and crumble the bacon. Pour eggs over veggies and turn burner on low and place the lid on the pan. Allow to cook slowly till the eggs are set. DO NOT STIR! To avoid over browning the bottom I turned the burner off when the eggs were almost set and with the lid on top they finished by steaming. Gently remove from pan with a rubber spatula onto a serving plate and enjoy.

A couple of mornings ago as I was preparing this same dish I was looking forward to a peaceful breakfast but it was not to be. I ended up having to hurry it up by stirring the eggs because just as they were beginning to cook my hubby called and wondered if I could go get two gallons of antifreeze and bring it to him on the road somewhere. I thought that sounded more important and urgent than the perfectly prepared peaceful breakfast☺

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
