Eggs- Hunting and Eatting




Here are a few egg hunting pictures, because I promised. The girls looked great (at least at the begining of the day) in there Easter dresses. I think that is one of my favorite things about being a mama to little girls, all the fun dresses. Too bad our chuch is not the dress up type, guess they will just have to look cute on random Tuesdays or something. I am pretty sure the best egg hunting is done in pretty dresses.
While we are on the topic of eggs, I want to share another fab recipie for a meatless dinner. I am loving these quick and easy eggs dishes as of late. This one you have to try, it is so fast! You can have dinner on the table in under 30 minuites.
Tomatoe Baked Eggs
1/2 small chopped onion
2 cans of Italian tomatoes (I used ones we canned from last summer and they were sooooo good!)
Garlic to taste (which at our house means A LOT of garlic)
8 eggs
1/2 cup Italian cheese
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 350. Grab your favorite oven proof skillet (mine is cast iron) and cook up you garlic and onion with a dash of oil on the stove until transparent. Toss in both cans of tomatoes and cook until liquid is reduced. Take off of the heat. Make 8 little wells and crack your eggs into them. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and then put cheese on the top. Toss in the oven and cook for 12-15 minutes if you like your eggs a bit runny and 18-20 if you like them firm. Serve with crusty bread and a salad, and if your husband loudly objects to the lack of meat, you could add a side of Italian sausage too.
This would be a good brunch item. It would look really cute if you made individual sizes in little ramekins, but I don't have any. You could make this a Mexican meal by using Tomatoes with green chilies and using cumin instead of Italian seasoning and pepper jack on top, serve it with tortilla and cut up avocado.
After exploring a couple of meatless egg dishes, I am now moving on to bean dishes, with or without a little meat. Consider this your warning not to sit to close to us at MOPS or Church, and don't believe Matt when he blames the baby. The only infant I ever met who could rip them grown-man style was my nephew Ryan, that kid had skills.

"and if your husband loudly objects to the lack of meat, you could add a side of Italian sausage too." Mine might object. But I'm sticking in meatless meals every so often and he's doing fairly well with it. We used to only have meat four times a month way back when. Thanks for the recipe. BTW, my prayer partner bought a book for you, "Mommy and Me, Gluten Free"; I'll bring it up next week.

Working on my Domestic Goddess Badge

I looked at the to-do list I made last week and am happy to say I can cross off almost everything on it. It only took me 2 weeks. I think I either need smaller lists or more time. Here is what I have been up to: -I have made 2 loaves of banana oat bread, 1 batch of blackberry strawberry freezer jam, 1 loaf of gluten free bread. -From 12 juiced grapefruit I made grapefruit curd and a pan of grapefruit bars. -My garden is almost completely done, including a upgrade in size. I am growing tomatoes, onions, peppers, potatoes , cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower , herbs, lettuce, spinach , green beans, snap peas, cucumbers, and kohlrabi. -I hung herbs to dry -I have folded massive amounts of laundry...with more yet to do. All washed with my homemade laundry soap. -I recovered the "green monster" which is another post entirely. -I added a sitting area in my bedroom, where I am currently sitting, so that my laptop has a home other than the kitchen table. - I got a new dining room table a...

Solo

I was told by my mother when I was a teen that my curfew was midnight because "nothing good happens after midnight". If that is true at 16, I am pretty sure that "nothing good happens before six a.m" is true for my current station in life. Some may argue that it is always true, but not Annabelle. For the last few weeks, the babe has been up before the sun. It isn't exactly the fault of the whole "fall back" time change, but that didn't help matters. Normally this is annoying, but not really my problem as Matt is the one on call as the sun rises. Alas, Matt is in Korea and I am flying solo, desperately missing my morning wing man. I am not ashamed to say that in the wee hours of the morning I told my not-quite two year old that I was not getting up yet, tossed her some toys and dry cheerios with a sippy and told her to play quietly. I stumbled back to my still warm bed knowing I bought myself about 15 minutes to clear the cob webs from my brain and ...

Feeling Resolute

I am a list person. I don't actually follow everything I write down, but I do write it down. Sometimes I think it is my weird way of feeling like I have my life under control. Not only do I make lists for myself, I make them for Matt. Yes, I know that is obnoxious so I don't always give him the lists I make for him. Yesterday I tortured my husband by making him sit down and make a list WITH me. I do it every year. You see, Matt is an amazing big picture person, but details kill him. Annually I make him sit down and write goals. We categorize them by finance, work, personal, spiritual, etc. It kills him to have to be specific. I keep the list every year and we read it together. This significantly brightened Matt's mood, to hear all the things we have accomplished this year. Our debt is reduced, relationships have been formed and baby #3 can be totally checked off the goal list. This year I am resolving to blog every day. The reason for this is 2 fold, neither of which is me ...
