01.24.2012 - Mini Egg Omelet Muffins

I noticed a few entries on Pinterest that were little omelet muffins, so I decided to make my own version. Unfortunately my muffin pan is old and kinda crusty looking - even though it's clean, so I had to use paper lines. They turned out awesome, but I will buy a designated muffin tin just for these so I don't have to use liners next time.

Here's the recipe:

MINI EGG OMELET MUFFINS

Minutes to Prepare: 15  |  Minutes to Cook: 30

INGREDIENTS:

3/4 C green onions

3/4 C diced ham

3/4 C diced cherry tomatoes

3/4 C shredded cheddar

1/4 C nonfat milk

12 large eggs

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 375 degree F. 

Dice tomatoes and slice onions. In a bowl, mix both with the diced ham. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk and your choice of seasoning. I use dill, salt and pepper.

Spray a 12 muffin tin with oil or use liners. Place a spoonful of ham, onion & tomato mixture in each, distributing evenly. Add cheese to each, also divided evenly. Pour egg mixture up to the top of the muffin cup.

Bake for 30 minutes, remove from oven. Either cool the pan on a wire rack, or if you used liners, remove them from tin & cool on a wire rack.

Serving Size: Makes about 12 mini omelet muffins.

Number of Servings: 12

*I think these could probable be frozen, thawed and reheated in the microwave for 45 seconds or so.

01.23.2012 - Me & My Shadow

I was sick yesterday and today, but there was something at work I needed to do, so I went in for about 15 minutes. On my way back home, I noticed the shadow of the car on this row of bamboo, yes - in Alabama, and I thought it was kinda cool so I took a picture.

01.22.2012 - Crazy Bangs

When I was giving the kids a bath tonight, I started laughing at Maisie because her bangs were all swirly! I had Jeff bring me the camera. I'm not sure if she disapproved of the laughing or the camera, but that's why we were getting the "mean" face.

01.21.2012 - Nap

Here's my little man, taking a little nap! Jeff and the kids let me sleep in and ate poptarts. Later I prepared brunch, fried eggs, oven cooked bacon (yumm!) and biscuits. Alex must have been really tired, since he fell asleep in his high chair and it wasn't even noon yet!

01.20.2012 - Mean Face

There are times when my spunky little girl likes to give us the "mean" face. I think her daddy probably taught her this, although I'm not sure. But she has fun giving us her mean face even when she's not being mean!

01.19.2012 - Backyard View

Early this morning when I took Chance out into the backyard, there seemed to be big, black crows everywhere. They like to perch on the rooftops and call at one another. It makes all the smaller birds really mad.

01.18.2012 - Important Call

Miss Maisie loves talking on the phone! Whenever I'm on a call, she follows me around, reaching for the phone. If it's her Nana or her Auntie Lori, I will usually let her say hello. Of course, she usually tries to run away with it. When I ask her for it, she tells me "no!", but if I tell her to say goodbye, she will & will hand it back.

01.17.2012 - Where I Work

This is one of my views near work. I work at a residential treatment program for adolescents, and it's way out in the country. This property is next door to us, and as I was driving out the other day, the sun was going down and it looked so pretty! I had to jump out and take a picture. There are usually horses, but not today.

01.16.2012 - Tea Party

Maisie got a pretty new table and chairs for her birthday from her Nana and Grandad. They delivered them last night, and she and Alex wasted no time in having a tea party. Alex came out into the hallway and called "Arielle, come here" (he loves saying my name!) so I went and he told me to "have a seat, I made you tea." Maisie meanwhile was refusing to put on her pajamas... these kids are a riot!

01.15.2012 - Happy Birthday Maisie!

Maisie turned 2 on Saturday and we had her party today. I baked a pound cake and decorated it with Minnie Mouse, which Maisie pronounces "meh-na moosh".  After we sang 'Happy Birthday' she tried to blow out her candle twice, and the third time I helped. Alex was hovering because he couldn't wait to get a piece!

01.14.2012 - Sleeping Spot

When Jeff went to check on Alex the other night, he couldn't open his door! He pushed on it and then realized Alex had set up a little sleeping spot right on the other side of the door. I grabbed the camera and pushed the door open for a picture. I think it's kinda neat!

01.13.2012 - Crafty Journal

I crafted a journal, using an iron-on of an image from A Day For Daisies that I digitally paper pieced. I have lots of things I COULD write in a journal, but I haven't decided what I'll use this one for.

01.12.2012 - Dinner

With Jeff back at work nights, it would be so easy to pop something from the freezer into the oven for the kids' dinner. But we've made a lot of progress getting them to eat regular foods, so tonight's dinner was baked flounder, roasted potatoes and green beans!

01.11.2012 - Sleeping Beauty

My little sleeping beauty! She's turning two in 3 days! Most nights Maisie falls asleep on the couch clinging to her milk. She fights sleep until the last minute, and the next thing you know she's out...
