I am the omelet Queen.....Mexican Omelet

It appears that there is a mixed message when it comes to eggs and egg consumption...but I think they are perfect packages of healthy protein and I have been dabbling in all kinds of breakfast omelets....some could even be a great lunch or dinner....

I love this omelet...It has some of my favorite flavors....green onions, red peppers, tons of cilantro and cheese....topped off with some taco sauce....this is delish!!!



Do you like omelets?

This is simply ...2 eggs...scrambled....add some chopped green onions and chopped red peppers...tons of chopped fresh cilantro....and salt and pepper....then cook ...flip...add some good cheddar cheese....and top with taco sauce....

Scrumptious!!!!

I am back from an amazing 4 day long weekend at the cottage!!! it was so much fun to enjoy our new toys....and share in new memories and laughs with our family....we were even lucky enough to see a moose and a beaver and some other cool wildlife on our ATV runs!!!! We just picked these two babies up on our way to the cottage!!! super fun and so amazing to hit the trails!!! I would have had some amazing photos if I remembered my good camera!!! so these are some photos from my phone!!!

The first time my Husband went through this he almost sunk his machine!!! so he did the side on the way back because there was no way I was going through this!

this is my new toy!! Happiness

Can't wait to do the trails in the fall! the scenery will be amazing!

Wishing you all a wonderful start to the week...and I hope you will be inspired to participate in some 10 minute fun with me!!!

Homemade Gnocci....so easy and so good....

Hi Everyone....

With my latest trip to New York City....I always make a stop in Little Italy for some eats and treats and this time I didn't get a nice yummy order of Gnocci....so when I came home I was inspired to create my own gnocci from scratch....and it was super easy to do....

The key to a delish meal with gnocci is all in the sauce too...so I cooked up a sauce that I simmered all day long....with onions...garlic.....tons of basil and some really good San Marzano tomatoes....

To make the Gnocci I took some leftover mashed potatoes...about a cup....added two cups of flour and 2 eggs and some sea salt....mixed and kneaded everything into a nice ball of dough and then flattened it out and cut strips that I then formed into snakes....cut into little pieces and rolled them on the back of a fork by pressing with my finger....this gives the gnocci some nice grooves for sauce to hold onto.....Once I finished making all the pieces....I had a large pot of boiling water with salt ready and threw in all my gnocci.....cooked them till they were all plump and floating....and then tossed them in my sauce to absorb some of the flavor....

To finish I served these up with extra cheese and it was a meal just like something you would expect from Little Italy....only better...because it was made with love!!!

Try it out....seriously it is pretty easy and you will love these.....

and just for fun I thought I would also share some of my photos from Little Italy in NYC......

I ate my way through NEW YORK City and it was amazing....

Happy Monday and Happy Creating Everyone!!!
