Alice in Wonderland Omelet

Chasing the rabbit into the hole made Alice very hungry. The rabbit's garden offered a fresh fare. "Oh!" Alice replied, "these mushrooms look amazing!" She plucked one from the garden and nibbled on the delicate little button. As she swallowed the flavorful little fungus her head began to spin. She collapsed onto the garden bed and fell unconscious slipping into a deep dream. In this dream she was in Joee's kitchen. She immediately noticed that the dishes were unkempt and the floor was scattered with bits of crumbs and a collection of hot wheels and monster trucks. Stepping around the toys she made her way to the refrigerator. She slowly opened the door, afraid of what may jump out from the cool shelves. Much to her delight there were no spooks...just a variety of foods that she instinctively knew would make an incredible breakfast. She selected a few items and began to cook as she had never cooked before. The kitchen came to life, seemingly of its own accord! The fork whipped the eggs without her hand, the mushrooms jumped into a cool bath to rinse themselves, and the avocado split itself in two in anticipation of being sliced. She began to conduct the edibles as if they were a practiced orchestra. The scene exploded into a Fantasia. Alice's mouth began to water. When the omelet delicately floated onto the plate she reached for a utensil to sample the wares... only to wake up screaming "It is MY omelet! It is MY omelet!." She was dirty and moist from laying in the rich earth. Her hair was matted from writhing in place. A hot tear rolled down her cheek as she shivered at the memory of the omelet she never had the chance to try. Alice decided that day she would never again trespass on a rabbit's garden.

May this omelet bring your fantasies to life today!

My Review:

The SHNOZBERRIES taste like SHNOZBERRIES!!!  I'm not sure what kind of mushrooms I used... should my carpet be moving?   Is that a blue dog using my toilet? 

Alright, Lewis Carrol nonsense aside, this was AWESOME. If you noticed I did not heat the filling and I am glad I didn't. The cool mushrooms contrasted beautifully with the warm eggs. It was almost like eating a chef's salad, minus the greens of course. Now if I could get this monkey out of my ear...

Credit for this Omelet goes to SEVERAL of my readers! You know who you are! I am just sorry it took me so long to get mushrooms into the mix!  Thank you for the inspiration!!













Back to Basics... Denver Omelet!

WHERE THE H-E-Double Hockey Sticks have you been JOEE?  HMMM??? What's your AWESOME excuse now? Alien invasion? Spending quality time with your toaster?  YES all of those thing!  Ummm... herm... ehhh.. *ahem*.. sure!! Actually, I am a Mom (yes, they let me reproduce!) and not JUST a Mom... a Mom to 3 boys. I don't think I need further explain.. that pretty much says it all! OK OK... maybe I was just a TEENSY bit over the omelet? No need for concern though... absence makes the heart grow fonder, indeed.

I am sure that if you have ever attended a breakfast at any American style restaurant you have seen the "Denver Omelet" on the menu. It is a classic... a universally accepted taste sensation. The beauty of the Denver omelet is in it's simplicity... ham, cheese, onions, potatoes, and green bell peppers. I was gonna rename it, make it my own. But I know I couldn't fool anyone... the Denver omelet is simply too popular. So enjoy this Western classic!

Denver Omelet

Ingredients:

green bell peppers

onions
ham
potatoes
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil
avocado
Basic Omelet

Chop up onion and peppers and potato to preferred size. Warm up about 2 tbsp. Olive oil in 12 inch skillet... add the veggies and brown until desired texture/taste (HINT: This omelet does well with a crunchier textured onion/pepper.)  Chop ham and place in pan with potatoes/onion/peppers. Stir until warmed and slightly browned. Set Aside. Prepare basic omelet, on the flip add cheese and filling. Fold, and top with hearty slices of avocado. YEEEHAWWW!!  Denver comes to life in your mouth!!

Ohh the Ham was forgotten... the Ham was crying.

 Oilve oil... it looks like ALOT more then I put in! I swear!

My weakness... the glorious avocado!!!

Move OVER Taters! Make room for my porky goodness!

WARNING: Disturbing images ahead!!!

As SURE as I share my success with you,  my reader, I must also share my failure. With a very very heavy heart I present to you this:

I know, I know. It broke my little 'ol heart. I have to tell myself that 1 out of 20 ain't too shabby... but still...

Well, it may not be a purdy Omelet Little lady, but you sure can make a ol' Cowpoke mighty happy!

Bow Chika WOW WOW!

Master Food Taster IN Training is a little upset his Avocado has been consumed! MORE NOMS PLEEZE!!!

My Review:

Tasty! Scrambly, but tasty! Classic flavor you cannot ever go wrong with!











Turkey Club Omelet... Leftover series #1

I know for a fact that YOU have turkey leftover. Why do I know? Because the American way is to cook a 20 lb bird only to serve 6 people.. which leaves approximately 389 lbs of turkey leftover... and I am here to help you do something NOMS with it! This is #1 in a series of leftover omelets I plan on making for you. There will be maybe 3-4 depending on how far I wanna push the leftover "expiration date." I am a bit of a dare devil though.

Now I am a little embarrassed... I totally forgot to pick up one essential ingredient for this omelet:  Avocado. Please if you can, add some to yours. It's rather tasty.

Turkey Club Omelet

turkey
cream cheese
diced green chile's
bacon (broken into small pieces)
provolone cheese (sliced)
Italian "everything"  bread
Basic Omelet

Take about 1/4 cup cream cheese and add about 3 tablespoons of green chile. Pop in the ol' microwave for about 30 seconds and stir well. Set Aside.You want the cream cheese soft and spreadable. Start your basic omelet and while cooking warm up desired amount of turkey and bacon (reserve a small amount for topping.) On the flip, spread your cream cheese and chile mixture onto the omelet (reserve small amount for toast) and then turkey and bacon on top. Fold and cover in slices of provolone. Place on plate and microwave omelet for about 15 seconds to help the provolone melt. top with bacon. Toast your Italian bread and spread small amount of cream cheese mixture on the toast. NOMS.

BACON! BACON! BACON!!!!!

Your lovely leftover ingredients

I use a mixture of both white and dark meat.

OH SH&*!!  A SCRAMBLE???

GOTCHA!!  That was my Husband's breakfast!  AHAHHAH!!!

You cream cheese mixture

Shmeared...

I am loving the color scheme! So wintery!

Wow.. is that not gorgeous?

And thanks to my AMAZING "Paint" skills, here is what the avocado would have looked like... And yes I DO like to go that little extra mile for you,  my sweet reader. No extra charge for that. 





#*#*#*#* TIP OF THE DAY: Uuhhh... Yay Holidays!  #*#*#*#

My Review:

Something magical happens when you add cream cheese to food. It forces all the flavors to blend together. Such an amazing flavor combination even without the blessed avocado. A nice way to enjoy the otherwise boring turkey!
