    I Love Breakfast

    I’m one of those must-eat-breakfast people. I’m also up before everyone so breakfast is one of my best times to try new things without concern about whether anyone else will like it.

    I made another batch of whole wheat hamburger buns the other night. I shaped them in several different shapes to see how they came out. The next morning I grabbed the largest one and sliced it open. It was begging me to fill it with bacon.

    I was glad to oblige. But of course, bacon tends to be a social creature and has many friends. The thought of some bacon sitting sad and lonely on this  delicious bun was more than I could stand. I sliced up some jalapeño jack cheese, scrambled a couple of eggs, fried one little purple potato, and sautéed some onion.

    While that was going on I mixed up a little horseradish sauce while it was cooking.

    When it was done I threw it all together and got this:

    The result was a delicious breakfast sandwich. Definitely coming back for a second round of these.

    TurkeySalad

    This is one of the best salads I’ve had in a while. In fact, the one I had at lunch was so good, I had it for dinner too.

    Deli sliced turkey, iceberg lettuce, dill pickle, cheddar cheese, and a mustard/mayo mix. It tasted like a delicious, sub sandwich sans bread.

    That is one Big. Amazing. Salad. Weighed everything and the nutrition facts (courtesy of sparkpeople.com) are below. It is so very important to know what you are eating.

    Even if you can’t weigh all of your ingredients, you can pay attention to them.

    Brunkow's Brun-Uusto with Jalapeno

    This cheese tastes great. The flavor really comes out when eaten warm. We usually cut it into cubes and pop it in the microwave for about 20 seconds.

    Tonight, we tried the Jalapeño version. Cut into sticks and dropped in a hot skillet for a few minutes, this try it served warm cheese makes a perfect low-carb cheese stick. As a matter of fact, whether low-carb or not, it makes a delicious cheese stick.

  • Bacon Jalapeno Skiffs

    Bacon Jalapeno Skiffs

    I had a little bacon that needed using, and I wanted to try something a little bit different. So… I decided to try a different take on combining bacon, cheese, and jalapeño. I was going to call them Bacon Jalapeño Boats but calling so small a treat a boat seemed somehow inappropriate.

    I got out the KitchenAid and put the food grinder attachment on it. It took about fifteen minutes to run about a pound of bacon and half a block of sharp cheddar cheese through it to end up with a ground bacon cheese mixture.

    While this was being done the jalapeños were prepped. Prepping involved cutting them in half lengthwise and removing the seeds.

    The ground bacon mix had a little garlic powder and a bit of onion powder added to it. This was mixed in thoroughly and spooned in to the pepper halves. Afterwards they were cooked in an oven preheated to 375. Then they were broiled for about five minutes until the tops started to brown. I pulled them out and let them cool just a minute or two. They looked good and I had to try one. How would it taste?
