Good Eating Monday: Fav Breakfast Sandwich

-
Welcome back! 
I've been amazed by how many fast-food sandwiches heavily feature bacon, which makes for a huge addition of calories on a sandwich already calorie rich with special sauce & cheese.
Plus what's with adding this pile of french-fried onion straws that are little more then fried grease?  Just a more fat and calories.

A good suggestion I read was, if you want some bacon flavor on your burger or baked potato at home, buy a bottle of Real Bacon Bits and add 1 level tablespoon, which is only 25 calories. 
 
Today's Good Eating topic is my favorite breakfast sandwich
that I make at home.Usually for lunch on Friday or Saturdays.
Items required:
Thomas English Corn Muffins (1 muffin per person being served)
Soy Breakfast Links, any brand ( 2 links per sandwich)
Eggs (1 per sandwich)
Salt, pepper, herbs as desired.
 
Preparation:*Warm up your English muffins as you like. Mine are usually frozen, so I microwave them 1 min, then split.

*Put breakfast links in hot frying pan sprayed with oil cooking spray. Being soy, they cook quickly.
Brown on one side, then turn & brown the other.
*Since I'm only making two sandwiches, I just push the links to either side of the pan after turning, adding my 2 eggs in the middle.
It's best to fry the eggs hard (no runny yolk) for sandwich purposes.
Add salt, pepper and a sprinkle of herbs such as thyme or oregano is tasty.
Cook egg on both sides till cooked through.
 
Putting the Sandwich Together:
Arrange fried egg on one side of English muffin.
With a knife, slice links lengthwise, butterflying them so they'll lay flat on your sandwich. Arrange two butterflied links on top of egg.
Top with other half of English muffin.
Enjoy!
*******
I like the Thomas English Corn Muffins because they happen to add a delicious maple flavor to the sandwich, but feel free to use whatever of English Muffin your prefer.
The virtue of using soy breakfast links is they're lower calorie and a tasty way of getting a little soy protein into you're diet without sacrificing flavor. My husband loves eating this sandwich!
They're also good cut up, mixed with scrambled egg and put in a wrap with a bit of shredded cheese.
 
Eat up, me hearties, yo-ho!

Good Eating Monday: Apple Cranberry Sausage Stuffing!

Now this some wicked good dressing!  I tried it for Thanksgiving this year and everyone loved it! I've been looking for just the right dressing and I may have finally found it!  It's also healthy with a tasty combo of fruit, veggies and a mix of white & whole wheat bakery breads. It will fill a  fill a 9 x 13 pan.  You can use fresh or dried herbs. I've included the measurements for both. Just remember dried seasoning is more concentrated in flavor because it is dried, so you need less of it then fresh herbs. I have fresh Parsley growing outside and this was a great use for it! I found leftover over stuffing wonderful heated up and topped with a over-easy egg for lunch!  Apple Cranberry Sausage Stuffing Ingredients:  5 1/2 cups fresh European style or sourdough bread, white, sliced and cubed 2 1/2 cups wheat bread, whole grain sliced and cubed 1 lb ground pork or turkey ( I used Jimmy Dean's Turkey Crumbles, which was 8 oz and that worked great! ) 1 1/2

Good Eating Monday: Peach Cobbler Dump Cake!

-
Image
Yes, I tried another new Pinterest recipe and this one is a winner! The primary dictionary definition of a "Dump Cake," is an easily made cobbler in which cake mix is dumped over canned fruit or pie filling.  This recipe was pinned from Del Monte, which means it's been a recipe that's been created & tested in a corporate test kitchen. That's one benefit of all those label, can & box recipes provided by manufacturers on their product packaging. You can even buy cookbooks featuring nothing, but package & label recipes of which many are vintage. The only changes I'd suggest is add one more 15 oz can of fruit. It can be more peaches, cherry fruit cocktail, regular fruit cocktail or whatever you want. (So, I've noted 4 cans of peaches in the recipe.)   It just needs a little more volume on the fruit quantity.  And stir a teaspoon or two of cinnamon into the fruit! Otherwise, this is an excellent, quick dessert you can serve hot with v

Welcome to the first week of February! It's supposed to be 31 degrees tonight, so after cleaning up the front walk beds, I went around covering various things that either are blooming, about to bloom or that have sensitive leaf buds, like my hydrangea's.  I picked all the yellow daffodils and brought them inside for a cheerful vase on my counter. For Garden Pic Wednesday this week I have an excellent photo of a pine tree flower! You didn't know pine trees flower?  Well, you'll have to stop back for a look! Today's Good Eating Recipe is a family favorite my Mother used to make often for us as kids: Old Fashioned Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding! What Old Fashioned Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding Looks Like This is just your basic wholesome old fashioned bread pudding made with just eggs, bread, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar & raisins! No sauces to make. Just simple bread pudding. We'd eat it hot with a little evaporated milk poured over the top.

Garden Pic Wednesday: Ajuga & Lettuce Crop

T oday's Garden Pic is a nice January shot of some Common Ajuga draping over the edge of a large container out front & my bumper crop of lettuce Ajuga: It's a ground cover with a burgundy tinge to it's leaves. It reaches it's best color in shade, but can tolerate light sun. This Ajuga just gets morning sun. It throws runners like a strawberry does, spreading along the ground. It's reaching for the ground and will establish once it touches around the shady side of the stump the container sits on. It's a member of the mint family.  My Winter Crop of Lettuce: This is a french head lettuce I got ordered from Seed Savers for spring 2021. It went to seed in May 2021, then dozens popped up around Sept. I separated them, this whole 4 x 8 raised bed with them. I dined on fresh crisp lettuce all winter! I've left 2 to go to seed on one end of the raised bed, so can have lettuce all winter again!  I've joined a group a ladies in a Book Club that meets once a mo
