Organizing Blog

I'm not a very organized person. I know where everything is, I remember where I put things....  they are just not organized.  I've decided to (try to) organize my blog to make it easier for friends and followers.

With that in mind I'm re-posting a recipe from March 2012, so that it can put into my Recipe Box.  This Recipe is a big hit with my family.  I, personally eat very little pork, and absolutely NO processed meats.... ok, occasionally a brat, I'm from WI, what can I say..... so when I make this for myself, I make it very differently.  (See healthier variation at bottom of recipe)
Biscuit Egg Muffins

What you need to make  these the healthiest, easiest, and yummiest.

1.  Frozen biscuits (no preservatives)

2.  Sausage (1/2 lb lean) 

3.  Eggs (6)

4.  Shredded Cheese (1/2 cup)

*Bake at 400' for 12 minutes

Fry sausage, drain fat.  Break into small pieces.  I pulled bacon out of the freezer and cut into small pieces.

  

Thaw biscuits. Split in half. Use 1/2 biscuit per muffin. 

Spray muffin tin with Pam. Oil hands, I used olive oil, and spread the biscuit dough into the bottom of the muffin tin and a little up the sides.

Sprinkle sausage or bacon bits over biscuit dough.

Beat eggs, DO NOT add any water or milk. 

Salt lightly (there's sodium in the biscuits/sausage) and pepper.

Pour over sausage, leaving at least 1/8 inch from top.

Sprinkle with cheese. "DON'T FORGET THE CHEESE! CHEESE ON EVERYTHING!" just a little Wisconsin humor.

Bake at 400' for 12 minutes. Cool slightly, serve with fresh fruit.  

To reheat after frozen, remove from freezer, place in paper towel, and cook 2 minutes.

I guarantee, Oos, Ahhs and yummy noises at the breakfast table.

for a Healthier variation.

Cooking up a storm.......

I just love cooking for my grandkids.  They just love everything I make, usually.  I made them the "Breakfast Egg Muffins", and they are such a big hit, that I've made them 2 nights in a row.  Oh yea, I do the baking at night.  The kids are all in bed by 7:30pm, it's so nice to have that peace and quiet to create, it's wonderful.

I saw this cake in BHG's latest magazine.  I LOVE LEMON'S, plus it just looks yummy.  I bake this too last night.  I know, mine doesn't look exactly like the magazine picture, but it is fantastic.  (I cooled mine overnight, then put back in the pan).  Here's  where to get the recipe online if you don't have this month's mag. 

 Lemon-Raspberry Coffee Cake.

     

"More cake, please!"

 Big Hit With Miss Ella!

 (Actually all the kids, but I only got pictures of her eating it.)

Happy Baking.

Thanks for stopping by.
