OK, so...

OK, so apparently I misunderstood the e-mail system with the blog.  I thought by removing the sign-up gadget on the right side of my blog page, it would stop the e-mail notifications from going out when I add a post - I was wrong.  They still travel through cyberspace from my house to yours.  And I guess I'm OK with that.  I just miss seeing that you've stopped by for a visit to my blog and maybe even that you left a comment or two - and it's nice to see my counter number change!  Whatever, I will continue to share new recipes with you periodically -  so when you can, pop by and take a gander.  I love company!! :)  (And, I have replaced the sign-up gadget, as you can see.)

Also, I fixed the Microwave Coffee Cup Scramble (below) this morning for the Mister and me, this time adding some bacon bits.  It was really good and he liked it, too.  I love that I can make these, each cup of eggs taking only 1 minute a piece and not even have to wash a pan!!  Strictly for presentation purposes, in the future I'm gonna try a few different containers, ramekins, bowls, etc.

Microwave Coffee Cup Scramble

I found this recipe in the October 2011 Better Homes and Gardens magazine.  I thought it looked like fun... a quick and easy breakfast.  It was good -  really -- and fun to do.  It was even quicker than the instructions say.  Each microwave is a little different, so the timing will depend on your unit.  I cooked mine for the first 45 seconds on high like instructed, then only 15 seconds on the second time.  It was perfect!!  Fluffy, moist but not slick, and not rubbery. 












I bet some bacon bits or a few pieces of diced ham would be really good, too --  maybe even some diced green chili or salsa --  mmmmmm! 

In the picture at the top,  it doesn't look like very much of a serving, but the cup is tall and narrow so the perspective is weird.  The ingredients are all in there - I promise!

Give it a try... I think you'll like it.  Just be sure to work with your own microwave -- don't over cook it.

A little change....

I have decided to remove the e-mail notification sign up part of my blogs, this one and http://www.tinas-talk.blogspot.com/ because no one actually goes to them anymore when I post something new.  Please check them  periodically or add me to your list of blogs you follow...  I'm trying to be better about posting (at least this one), so hopefully I'll add a recipe you'll like every so often!!

Hope your new years is going splendidly!
