Easy Croque Madame -- Croque (Ma-deb)

       

       

My version of a Croque Madame is called the Ma-deb --- because I improvise.

Turkey instead of Ham. 

Colby Jack Cheese instead of Swiss. 

Whatever bread or roll I have on hand. 

The bechamel sauce is from here:  Rachel Ray Croque Madame.  Easy, fast and great.

And.....I like my egg well done, the hubs likes his over easy. 

This is a great meal for any time of day, breakfast, lunch, dinner.
Give it a try.

Bisquick Easy Quiche a/k/a Bisquick Impossible Quiche

I can't cook.  I can prepare.  This is one of my new go-to favorites.

Seriously, breakfast, lunch, dinner, leftovers.  It is great.

It is the Bisquick Impossible Quiche.

Makes its own crust.  It is amazing.

Put anything in it you want.  Recipe below.

I do have to preface this with I made it a few times, and didn't follow the directions, you must,

put the veggies, etc. on the bottom and follow the directions, then it makes its own crust.

Amazing.

                                                           

                   

 

 

 

 

Bisquick Impossible Quiche
1 Cup Bisquick
2 Cups Milk (I use Almond Milk)
Salt/Pepper to taste - I use a Pinch.
I also use a Pinch of Mrs. Dash.
4 Large Eggs.
1 Cup of Swiss Cheese - or any kind of Cheese (I use mixed Colby Jack).
Now for your personal touch.
1/2 Cup Broccoli or any veggie. (I used small chopped fresh broccoli).
Spinach is great too.  If you use spinach, (frozen spinach) heat in microwave and then
be sure and drain - get water out.
Bacon - Ham - Turkey - Chicken (if you want).
The one above is broccoli only.
A little cooked onion is great too.

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Grease an 8" or  9" square Pyrex. (Size of Pyrex will also increase/decrease cooking time).
Sprinkle the broccoli (any veggie)  any protein (if you want) and cheese
over the bottom of the Pyrex.
Beat eggs in a bowl (I use a whisk).
Beat in the milk.
Add Bisquick and beat until smooth.  (Get most of the lumps out - I never get all of them out).
Now the magic.
Pour over the ingredients in the Pyrex.

Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
I tend to over bake, as I don't like runny eggs.
Let sit - cool in pan for 15 minutes.

Cut and enjoy.

Best part, it is amazing, heated in the microwave for breakfast/lunch/dinner, any other
day of the week.

This will become a staple in your home.

Great with salsa on the side.  Add a salad, or additional veggies for a lunch or dinner meal.
Just simple sliced tomatoes, and mozzarella.
Pack this baby up and take to work for a reheated lunch.

Don't worry about cooking, try preparing.

Enjoy.

Quick Fast Breakfast -- Oatmeal Lately

The other night I was watching Cooks Country on PBS, and they did a segment on oatmeal.

I was never much of an oatmeal person until the Hubs was eating it. He had eaten it as a child.

What I like about it, is the blandness of it.  Like a white rice, but healthy.

I used the good Quaker Old Fashioned Quick 1 Minute Oats. 
Quick fast and good.

Served with some frozen strawberries, and dark chocolate chips.

The Hubs?  He ate his with the chocolate and strawberries, and milk and honey.

Best thing about it?  HUGE serving for your 1 serving.  That is not even a whole serving.  On the run?  Put it in a paper/cup or any cup and out the door you go.

Enchillada Eggs and Huevos Rancheros

 

Let me start by saying.  I can't cook.  I have the best fed garbage disposal and trash can in town.  I don't cook -- I prepare. 

 

However, there are a few things I make that are great, and I am working on it daily.  Oh, and let's face it you have to eat. 

 

Here are two of my favorites.

 

This one I call an "Accidental Mess".  I was making an in the pan quiche that went wrong and that is how this came about.

 

Simply put, it is eggs, corn tortillas, green chili or salsa, avacado and cheese if you want.

 

Serving for 2:

Cut up 2 corn tortillas and put in pan with a little butter for like 2 minutes or less until soft.

Push the corn tortillas to the side of the pan.

Add 3 eggs that have been beaten and scramble, as they get cooked stir into the tortillas and mix up.

Want cheese?  Put some on top and serve.

Want salas?  Add on top.

 

Best accidental mess ever.

Make it your own.  Make it for breakfast. lunch, or dinner.

Fast Huevos.  I live in the Southwest, where people ask Red or Green when you order your Enchiladas.  But if you don't, have easy access to chili, have no fear, Trader Joe's makes a respectable Enchilada Sauce. You can find it on the salas isle at Trader Joes.

Take a couple of corn tortillas and lightly soften ina warm pan, just put in pan and flip until soft.
Add some scrambled eggs, and top with some warm "Enchilada Sauce".
Add cheese, melt in microwave just barely, and serve.  Left over potatoes too.  Or beans, or rice.

Again, breakfast, lunch, dinner.  One jar of sauce will do roughly 2 Enchiladas, lightly covered.
Yum. 

What are you preparing?

Cinnamon Bread--Yum

Best breakfast toast ever!!! Seriously, cinnamon bread without raisins!! Yay. Yes, it is like $4.00 per loaf. But you know what, it is good, and I don't go out for breakfast, so, it is worth it. Try it. (Nothing given free, just like this bread). Also, since I am not the best cook, it jazzes up eggs, and can even jazz up my own french toast. Working on the cooking, one meal at a time. I do truly believe there is a cooking gene. I didn't have it, my mother didn't have it, and I did pass the poor cooking gene along to my daughter. I always joke that it is like failing a test 3 times a day. Thoughts?
