And so it began....

It all started on a girls night out. A few friends and I went out for the evening and had a terrific time! When we returned to my house, everyone was starving, so I went to the kitchen and whipped up an amazingly simple recipe ( you can find it under "breakfast") The girls all loved it and wanted the recipe... what easier way to share it with everyone than start a blog?

Since then - I have added all our family favorites, recipes which people have asked me for or things that delight me. I have also added some stories about events that lead up to the recipes I adore - they seem to go hand and hand in our household!

I don't claim to be a foodie or a chef but I am a pretty darn good cook. I like to put my one little twist on things and surprise people, mix flavors, kick it up a notch...

So - try it out and Enjoy! And Hey - Let me know what you think or if there are any recipes you would like me to add!

Friday

The eggs that started it all!



It all started with an amazingly simple recipe! I tend to go toward the simple, delicious type of recipe. A single mom of two great kids, I had to learn to cook fast and easy. Now that they are both in older ( I have one in college and the other just graduated and is home while looking for gainful employment as a teacher- which many of you may know is a difficult feat in this economy) I continue to have to be thrifty- two kids in college = broke! A little restaurant in St. Paul MN called Day by day Cafe'. A sweet little joint on West 7th which I highly recommend. This is not only the recipe that started it all but also one of our family favorites. We first discovered this little bit of heaven at our favorite I hope you enjoy!

You start with mushrooms and spinach which are just slightly sauteed in a bit of oil ( add a little bacon if you like).

Add 2 eggs and scramble 'em up together!

Add in some small pieces of cream cheese and stir just until they get warm and creamy and top with a dollop of  cream cheese and pepper.

Simple yes- but likely the best eggs you have ever had!
