Anyone like Steak & Eggs for breakfast? We also like having it for supper too! What kinda eggs do you prefer? I like a runny yolk, while the kids prefer scrambled better!

1 sirloin steak per person with your choice of steak spice (we used Montreal steak seasoning)
3-4asparagus each
2 mushrooms each
2-3sprigs of thyme
fresh rosemary
1 large potato peeled & sliced
1/2 onions diced small
3-4 garlic cloves minced
1TSP seasoning salt
5 eggs beat
1/4CUP milk
salt
pepper
mixed salad greens (optional)
oil to cook potatoes

We like to use our 10in cast iron skillet to cook everything. Fry up your potatoes, with the onion and some garlic, along with the seasoning salt and pepper. Pan fry on med high heat til potatoes are cooked and start to get crisp edges. Remove from pan. We put on paper towel to remove excess oil. Put on oven safe dish and place in oven on low to keep warm. Beat your eggs, milk salt and pepper together. We don’t bother to clean the cast just pour the eggs right in next to cook. Eggs don’t take long. Just 2-3 minutes to cook. Taking spatula flipping and turning them around til done. Add to dish with potatoes so they stay warm til steaks are done.

Depending on your cut and thickness of your steak will determine how long yours will take. Add some oil and or butter to your pan if needed. These cooked up fast, 2 minutes per side on high heat. Along with asparagus, garlic, thyme, rosemary, mushrooms in the pan. Then we let them rest for roughly 10 minutes til we cut into them.

We like to spread the steak over some salad greens when having steak & eggs but feel free to leave that out if you prefer. Always like to have a little piece of fruit to finish the meal off. Today we had kiwi! The kids and I really enjoyed our meal today. Lucky loves steak hehehe

Looking for something to do with those left over steamed mussels you couldn’t finish the night before? Why not incorporate them into a breakfast meal.

1CUP cooked mussels
5-6 eggs
1/4CUP milk
half small red onion sliced
3-4 mushrooms sliced
2-3 cloves of garlic
1/4CUP cheese (we used Swiss, Mozzarella & Provolone)
salt pepper
little oil for your pan
green onion (optional, to sprinkle on top)

I like to use a 10inch skillet for this. It’s going to go in the oven so you need a pan that can go in the oven. Fry up your onions, garlic, mushrooms, salt and pepper til soft. Beat your eggs with the milk, some salt pepper. Once eggs are beaten well add in your mussels and stir in.

Now pour in your egg and mussels in the pan making sure the mussels get spread out evenly. I cook on a med heat for just a couple minutes.

Then pop in preheated 350 degree oven for about 30minutes til egg is done. At the 20minute mark you can top with some cheese and sliced green onion and continue cooking. You can also throw it under the broiler for the last couple minutes to get a nice color on the top. Which I much prefer but the kids do not! We enjoyed this. We served it on toast, feeds 4-6. Let us know what you think.

We used a large Cast Iron Pan with lid to steam everything but feel free to use a pot, whichever you prefer.

Put the mussels, smokies, and corn along with the wine and salt and pepper in pan. Cover, put on med high heat and let steam 3-4 minute’s. We then take out smokies cut them, put them back in and add potatoes also. Before closing the lid we sprinkle a little cajun spice over everything. Steam low heat it potatoes are done should take about 5 minutes.

While that’s steaming you can get a little pot on the stove and make your cajun sauce. Add all your sauce ingredients, bring to a boil then reduce heat immediately to a simmer for about 2-4 minute’s. Add in half your sauce and stir well. Top with the raw shrimp, cover and steam til shrimp are cooked takes about 2 minutes. Add remaining sauce and mix well again.

Lay some news paper out on the table and dump it all out for everyone to dig in. If you have a large serving platter can use that also. Of course you can slop it on individual plates, but that’s not as fun hehehe. Let us know what you think of this one! I know we devoured it, fast.

These were easy, fun to make, doesn’t take too many ingredients and they didn’t last too long. Everyone loved them!

20 golden Oreo double stuffed (can use regular flavour oreos if you prefer)
1/2CUP cream cheese
1 Ruby Cocoa Bean Chocolate Bar
1/2CUP white chocolate chips
white sprinkles (optional)

Blend all your Oreos in a food processor til they become a soft crumble. Add Oreos to a bowl add your cream cheese and mix very well. You can do this part in food processor as well but we find it makes more of a mess to clean the food processor with cream cheese, then the bowl!

Now take your Oreo mixture and roll into a heaping Tablespoon balls should get roughly 25 balls. Place on a baking sheet. Once all balls are made. We pop the cookie sheet in freezer for about 20 minutes. Makes rolling them in chocolate so much easier. Chocolate also hardens faster on them which means you get to try them out quicker hehehe. When their almost done in freezer you can prep your chocolate. You can use a double boiler to melt chocolate but I prefer to melt chocolate in microwave, it’s much faster. We microwave 25 seconds at a time, stirring each time til melted. Doesn’t take long, you don’t want to burn the chocolate.

We find it’s easiest to using a fork. Put couple balls at a time in the chocolate, turning them around quickly and taking them out with a fork. Tapping fork a little on side of bowl to remove excess chocolate from balls. Place back on cookie sheet. If you want you can sprinkle little bit of sprinkles on top. Continue until all are coated with chocolate. Put in fridge and let set for about 15minutes. We know your not gonna wait that long lol. Enjoy!
