Breakfast Tacos

My family loves tacos for breakfast.  We will make these at least once a month.

Serves 4 adults and one hungry 4 year old.

12 to 18 eggs

1 lb sausage, or ham or bacon

Shredded Cheddar 16 oz

Sour cream

Tomatoes chopped

Chalula hot sauce

Corn tortillas 

Cook choice of meat... can even use leftover chicken or roast.

In same skillet add eggs and cool on medium just until done throughout. 

Heat corn tortillas in another skillet while cooking eggs. 3 to 4 at a time or whatever fits your skillet.  You want them warmed through and just starting to lightly brown. You might need to flip them a couple times. 

When you take corn tortillas off of the pan fold them in half and stack under foil covered plate to keep warm. 

Serve tacos with egg and meat filling,  cheese, salsa, sour cream, or any other desired toppings.

I will some times fry home fried potatoes and add to the egg mixture, or add some left over Spanish rice or black beans.

Add any ingredients your family might especially like. (Avocado,  guacamole, peppers, onions, etc.)

Sausage, Kale and white bean soup

 

I make this in a 6 to 8 quart enamel dutch oven. 

Serves 6 to 8

ingredients 

1 lb. Mild Italian Sausage

1 lb. Turkey kielbasa 

1 bunch Kale 

1 cup shredded carrot

1 large green pepper chopped

1 large onion or 2 medium 

2 cans white beans drained

1 32oz. Chicken broth

20 oz. Water

2 tb. Chicken bullion

3 tb garlic

Salt and pepper

1/4 tsp chili pepper flakes

Saute vegetables (not kale),  Sausage, kielbasa, in soup pot until cooked through.

Add broth, seasonings, and water. 

Bring to boil,  and add chopped Kale and beans.

Simmer 15 min until vegies tender.

Serve with crusty bread like a good Sourdough loaf, or garlic bread.

Great on this cold Oklahoma day here where it is 22 degrees...

Hope you enjoy.

Pumpkin fluff

Pumpkin fluff

A great use for your Young Living Essential oils.


1 small can pumpkin
1 box vanilla or butterscotch instant pudding
1 small container cool whip

2 drops ginger vitality Essential oils
1 drop nutmeg vitality Essential oils
1 drop clove vitality Essential oils
1 drop cinnamon vitality Essential oils


Mix all together,  let flavors blend and dip set up for at least 3 hours in refrigerator.

Sprinkle a little pumpkin pie spice over top of dip

Serve with gingersnaps,  vanilla wafers, Graham crackers,  pretzel crisps,  or sugar cookies.

Breakfast bake

Bag of red potatoes 3 lbs

1 lb sausage or bacon cooked
1 green pepper or red pepper
1 small onion

1 dozen eggs
Oil
Salt and pepper
Olive oil
2 cups Shredded cheese

Cut up one half of the 3 lb bag of potatoes and place in a 9x13 pan.
Drizzle potatoes with olive oil.
Toss to coat all potatoes.
Season with salt and pepper.

Put in 450 oven and bake for 25 to 30 min until potatoes are fork tender.

While potatoes cook:

Mix the eggs in a bowl with whisk and blend well.

Chop vegies in small pieces.

Cook and crumble sausage.



When potatoes are cooked:

Sprinkle vegies, sausage and cheese over cooked potatoes in 9x13 pan.

Pour eggs over top of everything and return to oven.

Bake 15 to 20 min until eggs are cooked and knife comes out clean when tested.


1 3 lb bag of red potatoes will make 2 9x13
pans.

I like to make 2 pans at a time, eat one pan and cut the other pan into 8 portions,  putting each portion into a sandwich bag and put into freezer for breakfasts at a later time.

Goulash

A recipe I have been trying to perfect for my hubby for the past 32 years we have been married.... his grandmother used to make this,  and we finally figured out something close to her recipe.


Goulash like Grandma used to make

2 lbs ground chuck
1 large onion chopped
1 tsp garlic powder or
1 tb chopped garlic in a jar.

2 15 oz cans tomato sauce
2 15 oz cans tomato puree
1 15 oz can diced tomatoes

Salt pepper

3 cups pasta
3 cups water

Brown hamburger with onion and garlic in large pot.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Cook until meat is cooked through.
Drain off oil if there Is a bunch from your hamburger.
Add canned tomato sauce, puree,  and diced tomatoes, cook for 20 min to blend flavors.

Add pasta and water.
Cover with lid
Cook for 30 min, stiring occasionally, until pasta is cooked and most liquid is absorbed.


I like to add a can or two of olives to my goulash. 

Serve with shredded cheese, parmesan cheese,  garlic bread and a green salad.


My mom used to add corn and dark red kidney beans, as well as olives to her goulash.


I hope you enjoy this old fashioned meal as much as my hubby does!

New year

Today starts a new year... 

And what better way to start the year, than with the Lord 

She reads truth Genesis

Starting in Genesis, come study with me and many other across the world as we draw closer to Christ in out daily reading of God's word...

My biblical goal for the year is to daily read God's word, and ask him to fill me up to overflowing.

To become more like him...

Grab your bible, or go directly to the link above to draw closer to the Lord with me this year through daily spending time with the amazing creator of the universe.

Chong's Korean

We have been enjoying some of the local shops

in the area during construction on the to help

support them since most people don't wan to brave the construction zone to visit the local shops.

Chong's Korean Barbecue is amazing, 

and run by an amazing woman that does everything

by her self.  She greats you, takes you order, cooks and 

serves you with a smile....

This is the Korean version of sushi.... It is 

completely delicious and has no raw meat 

for the squeamish...

"Kimbap"

This is my Hubby's favorite, the Korean barbecue

with white rice and a delicious salad of spinach greens

tossed with a soy sauce based dressing..... Yum!!!

"Taegi Gogi"

This is what I tried this time, since I had heard

so many people order this over the phone while

we have sat there waiting for our food to arrive...

It was really good...but everything we have 

ordered we have liked.

This had cooked ingredients and some 

raw vegies in this, on a bed of rice...

She instructed me to toss it together before

I ate it.  There is also a Fried egg over easy 

on top that added a pretty neat taste to the dish.

"Bibimbap with Pork"

This is my hubby threatening to eat the food

before I can take a picture of it....

Quite the funny guy.  He was pretty hungry though

so I don't blame him of wanting to 

dig right in and eat... 

Actually, when the food came I had this dish with

chicken, and it had such a great wafting scent coming

my way that I forgot to take a picture of my food

and started eating it right away, and completely forgot to

take a picture of my plate...  

Oh Goodness.... 

Now I am craving this food!!

And I can't justify going there all by my self
