Baked Egg Omelet Muffin

Eating out for the past 4 months or more has really taken a toll on my body, taste buds, and even wallet. I have gained so much unwanted weight, grown quickly tired of all the things I have been eating, and tired of spending so much money on distasteful food that I could be using to buy new shoes with.

 I finally took the initiative to prepare meals in advance. I started with this simple breakfast obsession that can easily be altered to your taste and dietary needs. Not only does it take 20 min max to make but it is also great for family eating, or weekly eating that is prepared all at once.  I introduce to some and present to others the Baked Egg Omelet Muffin:

 1. Select your meat of choice. I used my favorite Jimmy Dean

sausage.

2. Crack 4 eggs. I started with 2 but you will see later

where I added 2 more. Use a large bowl (mistake #2) &

season with salt, pepper, and basil. This is the part where you

can customize your seasonings to your preferences.

3. Add green peppers.

4. Add onion. I used some left over red onion I 

had in the fridge.

5. Add tomato. 

6. Add shredded cheese. I used sharp cheddar this time, 

however there is always a variety of shredded cheese

in my house. 

7. Customize your omelet by adding more ingredients then

spray your muffin pan.

8. Brown your meat to your liking.

9. Drain all the fatty grease and chop.

10. Add your meat to mixing bowl.

11. Begin whipping your omelet. (this is where I added more eggs)

12. I used a small measuring cup to aid in easy pouring, 

however this is all decided upon you.

13. Add your omelet mix into pan leaving room for it to rise.

Place in oven on 350.

14. Start preparing your paired side. I decided on hash browns

today since I'm still craving McDonald's hash browns. This could

be hash browns, fruit salad, toast, or whatever your heart 

desires. 

15. If you decided on hash browns like me, fry and salt & 

pepper them. 

16. Remove from oven after about 15 minutes. If you want 

your omelet cooked more or less adjust baking time

to your liking. 

17. They should pop right out without any hesitation. 

Remove with tongs and enjoy. 

Beef Stroganoff

Gather all ingredients and think of other recipes you could use with left over ingredients like mushrooms, sour cream, & pasta. 

1. Finely chop 2 cloves of fresh garlic. 

2. Heat butter & garlic in pan over medium heat. ( got to use my new Rachael Ray pot set. LOL I'm a little pressed) 

3. Rinse & Chop mushrooms ( I used a lot just because I love mushrooms) 

4. Add ground beef to garlic & butter; Season with your favorite seasonings(mine are pepper & Lawry's seasoning salt) 

*This is how the ground beef looked prior to adding the mushrooms*

5. Add chopped mushrooms to ground beef

*This is how the cooked ground beef & mushrooms look prior to adding the beef broth. 

6. Add the 2 Tbsp of flour and stir well. (Don't worry if it becomes a little thick in some areas )

7. Add beef broth

8. Add in noodles of choice (I prefer bowtie since I get more use out of 1 box vs. egg noodles)

9. Cover with lid and bring to boil

10. Reduce from boil to medium heat. Stir constantly to keep from sticking to bottom of pan

11. Enjoy a nice brew along the way. (LOL i was impressed with this Angry Orchard ginger. Taste just like Ginger beer but gives a slight buzz) 

12. Add in sour cream. Small portions throughout to help with even spreading

*This is how the meal looks prior to sour cream

*The final product after adding sour cream. 

I didn't think sour cream was necessary especially since the amount wasn't as much, but it does make a difference. It creates a slight sauce used throughout the pasta dish which give it an amazing taste. 

How did you like this dish? What did you do differently to add your own signature?(mine was add some seasoning and change the noodles) 

Camo & Heels

I always was inspired to do an outfit with camo shorts and heels. It wasn't until today when the weather decided to be 72 degrees that I realized this was the perfect time. 

I paired my new favorite bright yellow sweater, camo shorts from the boys department, and this puffer vest together to create a simple relaxed but season-mixing outfit. The layering and choices I decided to go with were perfect because I wasn't to cold or hot today. I threw in my favorite heel booties and some lipstick to make this outfit a little more feminine. 

I must admit this is one of the most effortless outfits I have thought of and very casual. Do you like wearing baggy boy shorts? If so, how do you style them? 

Oven Roasted Smoked Sausage & Potatoes

With my new job and the continuation of class, I have been trying my hardest to cook at home prior to work. Not only does it save money, but it also gives me the opportunity to try new foods without spending a ton at restaurants that I don't have time to visit. This is a very simple and savory meal. Hope you guys enjoy and be sure to let me know if you like it or did something different to give it your very own twist of flavor. 

Gather all ingredients to be sure you didn't forget anything

at Target or your local grocery store. 

Line a large baking pan with aluminum foil and drizzle with 

olive oil. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Obtain a large mixing boil.

Take Smoked Sausage from package, rinse, and begin to slice

in even sized proportions because even cooking is essential. 

Peel, Rinse, & Chop Onion.

Place sausage and onion in your large mixing bowl.

Peel and rinse your potatoes using a paring knife (the smaller one-its

 saves more of the potato).

Chop potatoes evenly in size, but no particular cube shape

and place in mixing bowl. 

Fill bottle cap 4 times with olive oil and place in mixing bowl.

Season your bowl of ingredients with the spices listed 

above. *Remember its better to start small; you can always 

add more if necessary*

Considering that washing your hands is a continuous part of cooking

anyway, use your hands to mix the bowl of ingredients 

so that the olive oil and spices are evenly spread 

throughout the mixture. 

Spread your ingredients in your previously lined and oiled

 baking pan.

After about 45 minutes of baking this is the result you will get.

Add your parmesan cheese and place in oven long enough to melt.

Take out and enjoy!
