Sausage And Cheese Omelettes

There’s nothing better than having breakfast for dinner. I’m not sure why that is, but it’s so much fun to pull out the waffle maker, bake some cinnamon rolls and cut up fruit in the evening. And isn’t that what being an adult is all about - you can have ice cream for breakfast and breakfast for dinner whenever you want? I thought so.

When we make omelettes at our house, we always use our smallest cast iron skillets. They’ve been seasoning for decades, and they’re absolutely perfect for 3-egg omelettes. I use a butter non-stick spray, and I never turn the stove up past medium high. They’re small enough that they burn too easily if the heat is too high.

The secret ingredient for the perfect omelette? A splash of milk after you’ve beaten the eggs really well. It makes them super fluffy and much lighter than with eggs alone. Then I add salt and pepper to taste. I wrap it up with some diced turkey sausage and shredded cheese.

After mixing this all together and get it in the skillet, I let it go without touching it for 2-3 minutes. At that point the bottom is solid and just starting to brown, so I flip it over quickly and let the uncooked egg on top get to the bottom. This side will only take a few minutes, too, as the small skillet size works its magic. If necessary, I flip it one more time to get it cooked all the way through.

Then it’s ready to serve with your favorite fruit, pastries and juice.

What are your favorite breakfast-for-dinner menus? Or dinner-for-breakfast menus?

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee

Simple DIY Beaded Keychains

Image
We're having so much fun putting together goodie bags and door prizes for our upcoming ladies retreat at the church. So many of our ladies have donated craft supplies, decorations, time and energy to treat our visitors to an amazing time. These keychains are just one of the gifts some of the attendees will find in their bags. All you need to make them are a variety of beads, some fairly thin yet sturdy cord and a jump ring. Cut a length of cord, fold it in half and string it through the jump ring. String matching beads on both sides. And tie it off with a double knot. So simple, yet so pretty. Here's another variation: Cut a length of cord, fold it in half and thread it through a jump ring. Tie one or two beads on one side and tie it off with a knot. Make the other side longer with additional letters and beads before tying it off. Make a variety of lengths, colors, patterns and phrases so no two are alike.

Debilitating Disappontment

The things of this life tend to disappoint us. People aren't who we'd like them to be, events we'd hoped for never occur and things we'd expected to happen in a certain way never come to pass. I've tried relying on everything else in this life - relationships, career, better finances. When we look to mankind for answers or for hope, we will surely be disappointed. Our own misconceptions of life's circumstances leads us down a long, dreary path. What we plan and see inside our head doesn't always match what others see, or what may actually be reality. Looking into ourselves for "clarity" directs us straight to depression and failure. Have you ever heard yourself say, "I couldn't care less" and truly meant it? Having confidence in our own power to change our outlook means that we care more about the circumstances themselves rather than how to grow as Christian women. God is the only unchanging factor in our uncertain world. Focusing on
