Angie's New Higher Protein Morning Eggs / Yummy new egg recipe!

I've been eating an egg with low-fat turkey sausage and cheese for breakfast almost every morning for weeks and weeks. I don't really mind it, but it was a lot to have to eat just to get my protein in for the morning. Many WLS 'friends' kept telling me they eat cottage cheese, which honestly sounds so horrible I can hardly stand it. I like it cooked alright, but not straight by itself. Eeew.

So I started thinking maybe I could cook it into my morning scrambled eggs. This morning the cottage cheese plus the cheddar worked out to look and taste a lot like velveeta- all creamy and smooth and yummy. So I thought I'd share. I am planning to add chopped spinach to the mix,I just haven't bought any yet. I may try to get fresh spinach from the Farmer's Market this week... otherwise I'll have to use some other kind.

Angie's New Higher Protein Morning Eggs

Ingredients:

2 eggs (I use Eggland's Best)
1 c LOW FAT cottage cheese
1/2 c (okay, sometimes I use more...) low-fat cheddar cheese
2 oz low-fat turkey sausage (the kind in the big round link, like Hillshire Farms smoked sausage)
butter for the pan
pepper to taste

I put the butter in the pan on medium to melt and scramble the eggs w/a little milk in a small bowl. When the pan is hot I add the chopped up sausage for a few minutes until it starts sizzling. Then I add the eggs, and don't let them set up into an omelet-type operation on the bottom of the pan- keep stirring them. When they're about halfway cooked, I add the cottage and cheddar cheeses, and keep stirring. I like my eggs tacky anyway, but after a few minutes the cottage cheese and cheddar kind of melt down and run together (keep stirring) and it starts looking like eggs with velveeta. I serve it with toast, and I can only eat half of the egg recipe (at most) so it lasts me a couple days at least.

It is SO FABULOUS- I'm muy impressed. I forgot to take a picture, but I'll probably make it again. Maybe I'll snap a photo of it with the spinach!

Monterey House Candy (Leche Quemada - Burnt Milk Fudge)

I've searched for this recipe for literally years. They used to give to away at Monterey House in Dickinson, TX. I've made countless pans of what usually turns into semi-burnt caramel. I did find this exact candy at Las Palmas here in Springdale, but they seldom have it. They don't have a recipe. They claim they GO TO MEXICO and buy it from someone there, and bring it back?! Seriously useless. But here it is- someone from Dickinson gave out this recipe and I'm going to try it. You may all get some for Christmas this year if it works out. And if you don't absolutely LOVE it, please just send it back and I will eat it- somehow. NEVER LET IT GO TO WASTE!!! 5 pounds sugar 4 12-oz cans evaporated milk 1 12-oz can evaporated goat’s milk (or substitute evaporated milk) 2 cups light corn syrup 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon Mexican vanilla extract 4 tablespoons butter I N S T R U C T I O N S Put sugar, evaporated milk, evaporated goat’s milk, corn syrup and sa

Angelia Style "Chicken Fundido"

We're not sure what to call it, but it's FABULOUS and may replace my weekly (okay, it might be 2-3 times a week) "Taco Salad" meal.  Only Bryson and I eat the actual taco salad, and we're also the only ones eating this. :) Ingredients: However much chicken breast you have on hand Leftover pinto beans, refried beans, or canned black or red beans Sliced onion Mexican/Taco Seasoning Olive oil So we cut our chicken breast into strips, and sprinkled with the Homemade Mexican/Taco Seasoning we made.  Then I grilled onions in some olive oil until cooked through, and removed them.  Then I grilled the chicken in the olive oil until they were cooked through, and added the onions and the beans until all was heated through.  Then top with cheddar cheese,  cover with a lid and turn it off. THEN YOU EAT IT. I just eat it straight, but you could use tortillas (I wasn't up to making them tonight) or tortilla chips. Fab-O!
