Posting Updates

Hi everybody :)
I hope you all had a safe and happy holiday. I wanted to update you all on my situation. My daughter is doing much better. The swelling have gone down and the ankle splint removed, but she still can't put any pressure or weight on her ankle. She now wearing a removable booth thing which she's happy about. I guess anyone who ever had to endure a cast or splint know the feeling. She now doing therapy to get the mobility back in her ankle. Since she unable to walk yet, I'm very much still needed here with her up until her graduation in May. But before I go to help her get ready for class, I also wanted to thank you all for hanging in there with me and to welcome my new followers. Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding. I will be posting a recipe soon, so stay tune...

Ham & Cheese Omelet: Breakfast Is Served

Hi everybody :)

"Welcome to another Breakfast Is Served Sunday!" If you're just tuning in to my post, every Sunday I try to post a Breakfast Is Served, but since my daughter's injury my postings are limited. Jumbo Sour Cream Cinnamon Buns were last breakfast post.

Today's post is about eggs, I'm making an omelet. Omelets are very simple to make and easy to customize to your taste. The most important thing to have when making omelets is a good nonstick pan. The recipe I'm sharing today is just a simple basic omelet and one of my favorites. It's time to crack some eggs and get it started...

Ham & Cheese Omelet

2 - 3 eggs

1/4 cup diced ham

1/4 cup shredded cheese

Salt and Pepper to taste

1 teaspoon Butter or Oil

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs; stir in the ham, cheese, salt and pepper.

Butter the pan add the egg mixture,

cook over medium heat, tilting the pan and lifting the edges of the omelet to cook the remaining mixture, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Fold onto plate to served.

ENJOY! Come again...

Southern Potato Salad: Springtime Picnic

Hi everybody :)
Springtime is in the air and nothing says Spring like a down home picnic. When I think of picnic one of the first thing that come to mind is potato salad. This is one of those recipes I'm sure everyone like to change or add a special ingredient to make it there very own. I like to keep it simple; not only with the ingredients, but my way of mixing it. Here is my version of the Southern Classic...

5 lb bag russet potatoes, peeled, diced & cooked
1 cup mayonnaise, use more if needed
1 - 2 tablespoons pickle radish
1 teaspoon celery salt, see below for homemade
1/4 teaspoon freshly grind Black Pepper
1 large or 5 mini sweet bell pepper(s), (2/3 - 3/4 cup) diced
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
2 tablespoon finely chopped onion
4 hard-boiled eggs
Paprika

In a large combined the mayonnaise and the next 6 ingredients, stirring until combined. Add the potatoes. Peel the eggs and dice 3 of them, saving one for garnish. Fold in the diced eggs to potato mixture. Slice the reminding egg, place slices on top of the salad, sprinkle lightly with Paprika. Refrigerate for about 2 hours for flavors to mellow. Serve.
