Ham & Cheese Omelet: Breakfast Is Served

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

Southern Potato Salad: Springtime Picnic

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.
 
P.S. I made homemade celery salt. Following this recipe and adding 1 teaspoon celery seed.
ENJOY! Come again...

Easy French Bread Pizza: Pizza in a Hurry

Easy French Bread Pizza: Pizza in a Hurry

Hi everybody :)
I'm still helping my daughter recover after her ankle surgery, so I will make this simple, without many pictures. This is one of the easiest way to have the great taste of homemade pizza without having to make and bake the dough yourself. Using store-bought French loaves can really be a time-saver for pizza in a hurry.   

Easy French Bread Pizza
1 French bread loaf
Olive oil
Garlic powder or Garlic Salt 
1 pound ground Italian sausage, beef, or chicken
1/2 cup pizza sauce
Pepperoni slices  
Diced Ham, if desired
Bell Peppers & Onions, sliced and saute, 
1 to 1 1/2 cups  Shredded Italian Cheese 
 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Crumble and cook sausage in medium skillet until brown. Set aside. Slice French bread in half lengthwise, coat each halve with olive oil. Place halves on a baking sheet bake until lightly toasted. Spread each slice evenly with sauce. Top with cheese, sausage, pepperoni, ham, bell peppers & onions, if using . Bake for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cut and served.
What I Think:
This pizza can be made with whatever topping you may like, this is just a base recipe, so have fun and experiment. 

The Taste: Great! My daughter really enjoyed it. I'm sure your family will too :)  
  ENJOY! Come again...
