Quesadillas

Three different Quesadillas.

Top Left: Pesto, Asiago, Parmesan, Cheddar Melange and Mozzarella cheeses. Yellow Bell Pepper, Mushroom, onion, cherry tomatoes and Oregano and Fresh Basil.

The Pesto is what definitely made this one special. As a simple spread it brings another taste besides the cheese that leaves your taste buds running around to the next best thing.

Front Middle: Asiago, Parmesan, Cheddar Melange and Mozzarella cheeses. Yellow Bell Pepper, Mushroom, Cherry tomato and Oregano and Fresh Basil.

This cheese combination is definitely very nice. Plenty of flavors that do not over power the vegetables. The Oregano is a great addition as a dried herb, because it holds its own ground amongst a combination of such profound flavors.

Back Right: Asiago, Parmesan, Cheddar Melange, Blue Cheese and Mozzarella cheeses. Yellow Bell Pepper and Mushroom.

This one stood out with help by the blue cheese. Blue cheese seems to bring a salivation to the mouth in preparation for that particular taste that cannot be duplicated. The Blue cheese also threw in that extra factor that keeps it standing out from the rest.

All three were so good.

Italian Omellete... plus some

Such a great combination of ingredients. Starting off with fried sweet potato, and garlic sauteed mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, pesto sauce, basil and spinach and mozzarella cheese. The end result was great. The sweet potato especially, stands out holding its own and offering a great natural sweet taste to the savory dish.

A Vegetarian Breakfast Mess!

We will start from the bottom:

-Garlic Cheddar sliced bread, toasted with butter
-Fried egg with italian parsley
-Red sliced onions (raw)
-Sauteed Pink Oyster Mushrooms & Regular Oyster Mushrooms
-Sauteed spinach
-Sweet Carrot Ribbons
-Avocado
-Grilled Tomato

As far as a vegetarian is concerned, its pretty good and has everything, though I can see where meat eaters we need the addition Bacon or Sliced Sausage

Oatmeal

Oatmeal can be done so many more ways then what is on the back of the package.
Here are a couple that I like to use:

1. Oatmeal, water, butter and peanut butter

2. Oatmeal, 1/2 amount of milk, 1/2 amount of cream, butter, a cinnamon stick and a little brown or white sugar

3. Plain & Simple: Oatmeal, water, butter and brown sugar

Some other things to add that are always good are Raisins or Craisins.

My New Work Station!!

It is complete! My new work station in the Kitchen came together rather well and I couldn't be more happy.

Sunny Side over Guac!



First I am going to name Ulpan Rinat for this great idea. I must say, as a simple breakfast, that took ZERO time to make and tasted even better, I will definitely be making this more often. What you can see; Half an Avocado with a fried Egg, sunnyside up, resting on top with a slice of Vine Ripe Tomato and Cilantro. What you can't see is the indent of the Avocado where the Pit was underneath the egg is filled with Cholula sauce and a little more Cilantro. Also the Grated Pecorino Cheese, Salt & Pepper that were cooked in with the Egg.
End result, a dish that is light, easy to make and tastes great!

Thanksgiving #2


The second time I am trying a Thanksgiving turkey. Definitely tasted better then it looks. I did an herb rub on the turkey and underneath the skin. I made stuffing and cooked it from the inside of the turkey, first lining the turkey with Cheese Cloth and then stuffing the Turkey. This way you can simply pull out the stuffing a lot easier. In the end it turned out really good, and was a success.
