This dish is packed with flavor. This has just a handful of ingredients that you can change up to your families spice level and add more veggies Perhaps some bell peppers, change up the cheese to various combinations, cheddar, Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend as I have used…change the salsa to a green salsa , so many possibilities with the dish! We really enjoyed it and I loved that is was quick and easy after a long day at work!!!

2 Roma tomatoes, cut into wedges
1 jalapeño sliced, optional
1/4 cup cilantro optional ( I left this out as Mr. MCYM does not like it)

If you like crustless quiche this is it! Full of flavor, easy and can easily adjust to your families taste. I used Jimmy Dean spicy sausage because we like a lot of flavor but you can use any mild or Italian sausage you like. This was easy to make and was great for lunch the next day!

3 cups Simple Potatoes hash browns (found in the refrigerated section of your grocery store)
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
salt to taste
pepper to taste
1 pound HOT Jimmy Dean sausage or your choice
6 eggs
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 cup Monterey jack cheese
2 scallions, chopped
DIRECTIONS
Pre heat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a 9 inch pie plate with non stick spray. In a large bowl toss together the hash browns and the butter to coat and season with salt and pepper. Press the hash browns into and up the sides of your pie plate forming the crust. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. In the meantime sauté your ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through and breaking the sausage into bits. In the large bowl you used for your hash browns, whisk together the eggs, cream, cheeses and scallions . Season with salt and pepper. Add your cooked sausage to mixture and mix to combine well. Pour mixture on top of your hash brown crust and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until set. Let cool slightly and cut into wedges. Serve warm,

Here we are again, back to school with winter quickly approaching. This also means cold and flu season. It seems this year we opened the school doors with kids already sick with runny noses and cough’s. Our nurses office has a steady stream of kids coming in and then going home sick. I really like this product and keep it handy this time of year, not just for me, but for my entire family. I also like that this product comes in roll on form making application very easy. Breathe Again is made mostly with eucalyptus which contains high amounts of Cineole. Cineole has been studied for its support of healthy lung function. To apply just roll on chest or neck as desired.
As always KEEP AWAY from children and check with your physician if your are unsure of any product.
Stay healthy and if you would like to order please use my form at the top of this blog.

I made a batch of these sugared pecans and had forgotten how good they are! I usually make them around the holidays and give them as gifts,
but I was putting together a basket for a friend and thought this would be a great addition! When I make them at the holiday, I always have to hide them as everyone likes to walk by and grab a handful. Before I know it they have all had three handfuls each and the gift is gone!
INGREDIENTS
2 egg whites
1/2 tablespoon of water
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 pound pecan halves
1 cup white sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
DIRECTIONS
Pre-heat the oven to 250 degrees. Grease a baking sheet and set aside. In a mixing bowl whip together egg whites, water and vanilla until frothy. (I like to use my immersion blender). In a separate bowl mix together sugar, salt and cinnamon. Add pecans to egg whites mix well coating all of the pecans with the mixture. Toss the pecans into the sugar mixture and coat well. Spread the nuts onto your prepared baking sheet. Bake for one hour stirring every 15 minutes. Watch the last fifteen minutes of baking to not over bake them. The coating on the pecans should be dry. Remove from oven, let cool. Store in an airtight container.

This is a simple dish that does take a little time, but the end result was very good. I really like the contrast of the pasta and the crispy chicken.
INGREDIENTS
16 ounces bow tie pasta
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken, cut into bite size pieces
1/4 cup of butter, cubed
2 cans condensed cream of chicken soup (undiluted)
2 cups frozen peas
1 red pepper sliced
1 1/2 cups milk (any you have)
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
2/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup dijon mustard
2 cups Panko crumbs
Vegetable oil (enough to shallow fry)
DIRECTIONS
Boil your water. In a large frying pan add enough oil to shallow fry your chicken, heat on medium. You will be able to tell when the oil is ready when you place the handle side of a wooden spoon into the oil and the oil bubbles around the spoon. While the water is coming to a boil and your oil is heating up, put the mustard in one bowl and Panko crumbs in another bowl. Add the chicken to the mustard to coat each piece, once coated add the chicken to the Panko and thoroughly coat each piece. When the oil is ready add the chicken to the pan and cook through turning and browning the chicken until thoroughly cooked. Cook pasta according to package directions. In another large pan on medium heat add soup, peas, pepper, milk, salt and pepper. Heat through. Stir in cheese. drain pasta and add to sauce. Top each plate with the crispy chicken pieces and serve warm.
