Seat of my Pants Omelet

I woke up starving this morning...not terribly unusual but I was craving comfort food like NO other. Tuna Casserole, specifically. Yes, I am an odd duck, and it is not out of the realm of normal for me to whip up a casserole in  the wee hours of the morning. BUT Baby Dalton has had other plans since 5 am, so I didn't even get the chance to ponder breakfast until 9 am.  I opened the old fridge and just started pulling out all the things that looked good, quickly cooked up this little gem and quickly scarfed it down in anticipation of yet another infant outburst. Motherhood rules.

Seat of my Pant's Omelet

Stouffers Mac and Cheese
canned chicken
celery
onions
green bell pepper
Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Basic Omelet

Chop up celery, onion and bell pepper to desired size. Place in pan, salt and pepper to taste and saute until they reach your desired consistency. Then add your chicken and saute with the veggies. When warmed, add the mac and cheese and Parmesan cheese, lower heat to medium low and allow to melt/warm up slowly. Set aside. Prepare basic omelet, add filling and fold. Sprinkle with a little more Parmesan and NOMS.

Saute your veggies and they will buy you Christmas presents! Yeah! REALLY!

The rest of the ingredients waiting patiently... GAWD I love Stouffers mac and cheese!

BGOK!  BOK BOK BOK!  Chicken in the pan!

I darn near lost this omelet to the evil scramble!!! am I losing my touch?

Oooh.. a little tear but no worse for the wear. NOMS.

My Review:

This was SO reminiscent of my favorite casserole I almost burst into tears when I took my first bite. I am really sorry that I keep forgetting the flavor value of celery... like an old childhood friend it brings everyone together for good times. I vow to bring celery back more often!

Stuffed Up Omelet... Leftover Series #2

No No, this omelet does not have a cold. It's just all stuffed with stuff and stuffing and stuff. Ya know.. stuff. Like, stuff stuff.

I have to tell you that my leftovers are dwindling quickly... I aced the mashed potato's cuz they just passed up their prime. And I finished of the stuffing. I do, however, have loads of turkey left. So the next few days it will be turked-out omelets. And will NOT include anything else Thanksgiving related. Because I am over it...

Stuffed Up Omelet

Ingredients:

(mostly leftovers)

potatoes (I used cubed/fried)
Mac and Cheese
stuffing
gravy
breakfast sausage (patties)
Basic Omelet

Brown your sausage and set aside. Warm up your leftovers all together. Be sure to get your Mac and Cheese nice and hot, as this is the "cheese" in your recipe. Do up your omelet and add ingredients on the flip, preferably Mac and Cheese side down. Flip and cover in gravy. Have a large appetite for this one!

Sausage patties just a sizzlin' away

Leftovers... *sigh*

Close up of leftovers. WHY? I don't know.

I only used about 1/2 of what I warmed up... stuffing is so stuffy!

Served with a fresh, juicy pear. NOMS.

This is halfway through, and where I stopped. Even my voracious appetite could not conquer this one. Or I am totally over leftovers. Or maybe because I ate 2 of these:

BONUS RECIPE!!!!

These are fine little appetizers my husband calls "croissandles." Passed on from my friend Jennifer Paris. They are decadent and compliment all meals, but none better than breakfast!

Ingredients:

1 Roll Pillsbury Croissants (I use the big size ones)

1/2 roll Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage

1/2 package cream cheese

6 small squares cheddar cheese

Brown sausage till completely done, chopping with spatula until it is fine. Add cream cheese to pan, turn to low-medium heat and melt cream cheese with sausage until they are together as one. Add one piece cheese onto your rolled out Croissants (see package) and spoon mixture on top of cheese. Roll up and fold in the sides. Bake according to package directions. DIVINE.

You should eat this... really.

(tip of the day would normally be here, but I am fresh out of tips today)

My Review:

Even though breakfast sausage brought this half dead filling to life again, I am really over the whole Thanksgiving feast. I really did not enjoy this omelet enough to hoot and holler over it. But it was better then being reheated and stuck on a plate. The Croissandles on the other hand were NOMS and that's what made me smile this morning!!!
