Indian Take Out

Samosa Chaat, Eggplant Bharta, and NaanPeach Pie

Super ripe peaches peeled, sliced, and placed in a pie crust, free formed. Brushed with melted better, sprinkled with a bit of sugar, and baked at 400 for about 20 minutes. Served with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream.

Leftover Loving- Omelettes

Yesterday I made a big breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausage links, and hash browns. There were only a few leftovers; a spoonful of eggs (went to Brutus), 4 sausage links, and a couple spoonfuls of potatoes. This morning I decided to make omelettes with the leftovers.

I diced up a small onion and cooked it in a bit of Worcestershire (my favorite ingredient) for about 4 minutes. I added the potatoes and cut up sausage and crisped up everything together with a bit of salt and pepper. I scrambled 3 eggs per omelette with a couple pats of butter in the pan.   Then I moved the pan around just a bit until the eggs started to set. I added half of the mixture to each omelette (enough for 2). Of course I added tons of cheese 😉 Then I folded one side to the middle then gently folded it on to the plate.

Look at these pretty eggs…

Farmer’s market salad

For lunch today, I threw together a bunch of ingredients from the farmer’s market yesterday. I used baby kale, cauliflower,sliced cucumbers, radishes, and turnips. I also topped it with mozzarella cheese, toasted macadamia nuts, and a drizzle of blue cheese dressing. I have never eaten turnips raw before. I loved them! These combinations all worked well together.

Kale and Mushroom Grilled Cheese

Evening folks! I made this yummy sandwich for lunch today.

First I started cooking down a pint of sliced mushrooms with a tablespoon of butter, a splash of Worcestershire (leave out to make this vegetarian), and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. I cooked them down for about 15 minutes. img_1281

Meanwhile, I took a couple handfuls of the baby kale I got this morning at the market. A few leafs had some thick stems, so I ripped off just the leaves on those.  I cooked those down in a touch of olive oil with some salt and pepper.

I put mayo on both sides of both pieces of bread. I used Swiss cheese on both sides of the bread and added my kale and mushrooms. img_1284

Mayo on the outside of the bread on a grilled cheese is how most restaurants make their grilled cheese sandwiches… PERFECTION!!!!
