Cucumber Salad With Cottage Cheese
Since I started cutting out wheat and eating fewer carbs to lose weight, I had to come up with some new lunches and side dishes. Two of my favorites now that the weather is starting to warm up are cucumbers and cottage cheese. You may not thing of those two ingredients together, but they make […]
Continue readingMagic Milk Shakes
I love this recipe because it makes very rich milk shakes without any ice cream. I don’t always have ice cream in the house because the kids eat it so fast. With this recipe we can have delicious frosty milk shakes for a fraction of the cost of those using ice cream. And all the […]
Continue readingDeviled Eggs
A plate of deviled eggs is one of my go-to things to fix for potlucks and get-togethers. They are always appreciated no matter what else is on the table. They also make a great snack. If you are taking them, sprinkle a little paprika on top to make them look pretty. 6 eggs Water for […]
Continue readingBread Pudding
Whenever we need an easy weeknight dessert or just have some leftover bread that needs using up, I whip up a batch of this bread pudding. You can use any type of leftover bread for this. Just toast it and cut or tear it into small chunks. This recipe is from my 35 Homemade Bread […]
Continue readingPalačinky (Czech Crepes)
A Guest Post By Alice Seba From VegetarianLost.com (great blog to follow). When I was growing up, we had some pretty interesting things for dinner. We had these things that looked like donuts with a dollop of sour cream and jam on them. Other times, we had traditional Czech pancakes, called palačinky, that are more like what […]
Continue readingRoasted Tomato Scrambled Eggs
A hardy breakfast that keeps you full until lunch doesn’t have to be bad for you. I love the combination of roasted tomatoes and egg in this dish. Best of all, it only uses one pan. You can easily change things up by adding a little chopped ham or turkey to the scrambled eggs. I […]
Continue readingBacon And Egg Fried Rice
I make fried rice at least once a week for dinner. It’s a quick easy meal and a great way to use up leftover cooked rice. If you feeding more people than you expected, it’s easy to stretch this meal by adding another cup or two of rice, an extra egg and whatever leftover veggies […]
Continue readingDenver Omelet Recipe
When we go out for breakfast (which we don’t do very often), I love getting a Denver Omelet. There’s just something about the combination of eggs, ham, cheese and bell peppers. It also makes a very substantial meal that will keep you going. I recently started making it at home and thought I’d share the […]
Continue readingRanchos Huevos Burrito
I love Huevos Rancheros, but don’t often have the time to make them for breakfast. This “to-go” version is a great alternative that also makes for a yummy, healthy lunch. 2 large eggs salt and pepper to taste 2 Tbsp canned black beans (or other beans you liked) 1 Tbsp chunky salsa, any you like […]
Continue readingHomemade Fried Rice
This is one of my favorite “go-to” recipes when I don’t know what to make for dinner. Everyone likes it and it’s very fast to make. I also almost always have everything in the kitchen to make it. My favorite way to cook it is with bulk breakfast sausage. But you can make it with […]

Continue readingEgg Casserole
I think this is technically a frittata. We always called it a quiche but it has no crust. This requires little prep time, is flexible, is easy, feeds a crowd, can be easily adapted for cholesterol and calorie watchers, and makes good leftovers. Good hot or cold, at any meal. Mom likes it with salsa […]
