3 eggs

1/3c milk

2T butter

1T cream cheese

1 scallion

1 slice of prosciutto (can use bacon, sausage, whatever you have on hand)

3 small brussel sprouts minced.

1.      Melt butter.

2.      Add scallions, prosciutto, and brussel sprouts, until browned.

4.      Add to hot pan.

5.      Stir until cooked.

6.      Top with cheese.

7.      Serve with toast.

Hope you like it. Just using some staples that I have on hand. You can do the same. I like throwing stuff like this together. One day I even made green eggs and ham a few years ago and I just blended the eggs with leftover spinach leaves and added some bacon bits! If any of you have picky kids, they probably won't even notice the spinach taste and yet they'd get great vitamins!

Hope you find this interesting!

Beef Stroganoff!!

Ok. So last night I tried to make onion rings. I tried to bake them in the oven. They didn't turn out very well so I'm not going to even make an effort to post it until I fry them at a later date.

Ingredients:
1#hamburger
1 can mushroom soup
1/2t garlic powder
salt and pepper
1/2c sour cream
noodles or mashed potatoes
green beans (For a side)

1. Cook hamburger with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (and onions if so desired). Drain grease.
2. add mushroom soup, 1 can of water, and cooked noodles.
3. Once ready to serve, add 1/4c sour cream.
4. To go with the stroganoff, try noodles or mashed potatoes and add green beans on the side, seasoned with salt, pepper, Lawry's seasoning salt, butter, and garlic salt.

We cooked our noodles in soup and water with the hamburger and stuff for about 20min OR just cook them in salted water according to package directions.:)

Brad and I made this. Hope you like it! :)
