Sausage And Cheese Omelettes

There’s nothing better than having breakfast for dinner. I’m not sure why that is, but it’s so much fun to pull out the waffle maker, bake some cinnamon rolls and cut up fruit in the evening. And isn’t that what being an adult is all about - you can have ice cream for breakfast and breakfast for dinner whenever you want? I thought so.

When we make omelettes at our house, we always use our smallest cast iron skillets. They’ve been seasoning for decades, and they’re absolutely perfect for 3-egg omelettes. I use a butter non-stick spray, and I never turn the stove up past medium high. They’re small enough that they burn too easily if the heat is too high.

The secret ingredient for the perfect omelette? A splash of milk after you’ve beaten the eggs really well. It makes them super fluffy and much lighter than with eggs alone. Then I add salt and pepper to taste. I wrap it up with some diced turkey sausage and shredded cheese.

After mixing this all together and get it in the skillet, I let it go without touching it for 2-3 minutes. At that point the bottom is solid and just starting to brown, so I flip it over quickly and let the uncooked egg on top get to the bottom. This side will only take a few minutes, too, as the small skillet size works its magic. If necessary, I flip it one more time to get it cooked all the way through.

Then it’s ready to serve with your favorite fruit, pastries and juice.

What are your favorite breakfast-for-dinner menus? Or dinner-for-breakfast menus?

Holland Creme - That Amazing White Stuff In Donuts

Image
I remember going to the grocery store every Saturday morning when I was growing up, and my favorite place in the entire store was the donut case. All the glazed, powdered and filled baked goods drew me like a magnet. My favorites, far and away, were the ones filled with that beautiful white, fluffy creme. At the time I didn't know it was called Holland Creme - I just knew it was the most amazing concoction ever. Ever. Here is my version of this sweet treat. You can make your own fried donuts and fill them, or like I did here, you can cut a crevice into store-bought donuts with a knife and fill them with creme in a piping bag. Either way, you're going to love it. Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup shortening 1 cup butter 1 Tbsp vanilla 7 cups powdered sugar 1. Make a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat until boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool complet...

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee...

Crafts For Teen Girls To Make

Image
In our teen girls Bible study, we're studying our way through the Proverbs 31 woman and it's been such a blessing to me, as I hope it's been to them. Every month we spend an afternoon or an evening together studying Scripture, making something amazing in the kitchen and creating something that corresponds to the verse we're in. Choosing the crafts each time can be a challenge for several reasons. It needs to be something they can completely finish (or do most of) because once they leave they're probably not going to work on it themselves - that's just the nature of teenagers. Remember? It also needs to be a project that keeps they're attention, is age-appropriate and is cool enough that they'll want to keep it or give it to someone special. But hey, no pressure on the Bible study leader, right? Here are just a few of the projects we've done together in the year we've been meeting. * This month's craft will be the adorable cross stit...
