Even Mikey likes this. My grandaughter (when small) called broccoli ‘trees’. So this is a nice way to eat the ‘trees’.
Serves 4-6
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp dry mustard
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup Hellmans mayonnaise
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 8 slices of bacon, cooked crisp and chopped
- 2 cups thinly slices fresh button mushrooms
- 1/2 cup toasted pecans
- 10 oz. can orange slices drained, or
- 2 blood oranges segmented (if in season)
In a saucepan, whisk the first six ingredients and cook until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the mayo until smooth. Cool. Marinate broccoli in dressing for several hours. Add remaining ingredients and toss well.
Serve with grilled Italian Bread, two servings of warm sunshine, and a bottle or so of wine. Enjoy! Bring it on. Tell me, does this qualify as being “green”?
I know, that’s bad…later
Easy Morning Wake-Up
Okay…here is the scenario. You are the first one up and all is quiet. You slip into the kitchen and turn the coffee pot on (You did set it up the night before, didn’t you?). Now, you can hear stirrings throughout the house.
Get ready to put out a totally scrumptuous breakfast..
- 10 eggs beaten
- 1/3 cup flour
- 3/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1 lb. bacon, fried crisp and crumbled
- 1 lb. Monterey Jack Cheese (one of my favourites)
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, cut into small squares
- 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced and fried
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Beat the eggs, flour and baking powder really well. Oh, ask one of the bodies that just entered the kitchen to pour the orange juice and set the table for you, please.
Add the crumbled bacon, cheeses and mushroom to the mixture and beat well to combine.
Pour into a 13 x 9 inch baking dish that has been sprayed with Pam. Bake for about 35-40 minutes.
Get everyone around the table, plate the baked eggs and add fresh hot, buttered toast, fresh coffee and it is all done. How happy are we now??
Did I hear you say “Damn, I actually did this?” Aww go ahead, it’s is okay.
