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.
