Swiss and Mushroom crazy!!!

So coming off the heels of the turkey swiss and mushroom grilled cheese, comes the swiss and mushroom omelet! A nice hardy breakfast with a tangy taste. Best way I can describe it....LOL

2 eggs
1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 slices swiss cheese
salt
pepper
1 tbsp milk

Place skillet on stove top and place on medium heat. I add a little bit of bacon grease that I keep stored in the fridge to help keep the eggs from sticking to much to the pan. Crack 2 eggs into bowl and whisk, and then add milk. The milk makes the omelet just a little more fluffy. Once pan is nice and hot, grease melted, add egg and coat evenly onto skillet. Taking sliced mushrooms, layer onto one side of egg. Turn the skillet a little to lightly coat the mushrooms with some egg, this allows the mushrooms to "stick" to omelet. Place cheese on top of mushrooms. Season other half of eggs with salt and pepper. Gently lift empty side to cover mushroom side (make sure that you've left enough room to fold the egg over) Flip entire omelet and cook for 30 secs. Then enjoy.

*Even if you're omelet doesn't look perfect, it'll taste perfect!*



I think I used to many mushrooms, and they weren't completely on one side. Oh well :)

Quick and simple plus delicious

Need to come up with something quick? Want grilled cheese, but tried of the same old grilled cheese? Well its time to pump it up!!

Introducing the Turkey, mushroom swiss grilled cheese!!!!

2 slices of bread
2 slices of swiss cheese
4 slices of turkey lunch meat
about 2 mushrooms, sliced
1/2 tbsp butter

Use half of the 1/2 tbsp of butter to sautee the mushrooms a little. Assemble the sandwich half way; a piece of bread, 2 slices of turkey and 1 slice of swiss, repeat with rest. When the mushrooms have sauteed a little, place the mushrooms on one half of the sandwich. Put together sandwich. using the other half of butter, place in pan and cook sandwich on either side for about a minute. Enjoy!!

More brownies!!!

So I'm kinda poor........like I can't afford eggs. Makes me super sad :\  So I started looking up stuff I can do without eggs. This included turkey meatballs and brownies. One I had ground turkey, so I wanted to make something, had stuff for spaghetti so.......wala! Meatballs! I will have to revamp the recipe, they turned out a little dry, but still good. So when I get that down to delicious I will blog it! And then of course since I made brownies a few weeks ago, I started craving brownies again. But no eggs.....what was I going to do!!! Look up a way to make brownies without eggs, found it!!! Tweaked the recipe a little and this what I came out with. And its nice and gooey! FYI this recipe includes coffee, its not POW coffee, but its subtle. And includes pecans, which can be optional.


1 cup all propose flour
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk
5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp instant coffee* with 1 tbsp water
4 tbsp chocolate chips
2 tbsp pecans, chopped


Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and grease a 8x8 pan. In a large bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients. (I placed all the dry ingredients together in one bowl then took 1/2 a cup at a time to the sifter into another bowl.) Then add melted butter, instant coffee mixture and buttermilk. Taking a mixer, hand or stand, a mix on low, scrapping sides to make sure all ingredients get mixed. Fold in pecans and chocolate chips. Pour batter into pan, place in oven for 45mins or until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean. Let cool and enjoy!

*So I don't use instant coffee, but luck be my lady, I found a starbucks instant coffee mix in my cupboard. It was caramel flavored, but it still worked. Made my brownies delicious.*
