Salmon Omelette

Leftover Deliciousness

Serves 2

1 Freestyle Point Each Serving

Egg Mixture

4 Eggs

1 TBS Fage FF Greek Yogurt

Salt, Pepper, Dill

Cheese Mixture

2 Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges

1 TBS Fage FF Greek Yogurt

1/2 Cup Leftover Cooked Salmon 

In a bowl combine egg mixture. Whisk or use fork to mix well 

Combine cheese mixture and microwave for 10 seconds. Mix well.

Turn flame on medium on a nonstick pan. Spray lightly with Pam olive oil. Mix eggs again and pour into hot pan. Turn down flame to low. As the edges begin to cook, push the egg from the side a little towards the middle and tilt the pan so uncooked egg fills the empty space. Do this all over the pan until all the egg mixture is used.

Add little piles of cheese mixture on half the omelette. Layer flaked Salmon on top. Shake the pan to make sure the bottom is loose in the pan.

Gently begin to pour the omelette onto a plate and fold the last half over the bottom half.

Cut in two. Delicious for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

A couple nights in the U.P.....

is good for the soul. Time spent with Mr. Lepeak and Rod and Mary was a gift. The trees are just beginning to turn. The Great Lakes Superior, Huron and Michigan all in one day makes me so thankful that we live in Michigan.

Fun at Nana and Papa's

Ayva & Javier making things with Scrapbox finds

The best grapes ever! So sweet.

No cheese pizza for Romeo and Tino, however only Tino ate

The rest of us had pepperoni and cheese

Church Collections

These boys are such sweeties. I love being at church with them.

Momo and Tino love the collection at church. One puts our envelope in and the other a dollar. Caroline has them watch where their offering goes after it goes in the basket. They watch the ushers put the money in the large basket and their eyes follow it as it is walked down the aisle to the altar.

Sunday, Tino put his money in the basket and announced it was for the tooth fairy!

We may have a little more explaining to do!

Lockermates Forever

All through school I had the same lockermate, alphabetically our names were next to each other. I love my Lock. We had our monthly class luncheon at Castaways in Bay City and she and her husband drove from the southern most part of Michigan to join us. They have a bridge tournament tomorrow so they spent the night.

We stopped at the Bay City State Park and walked down to the beach. We saw Egrets and Sandhill Cranes. Lots of Zebra Muscles empty shells on the beach.

We had the most enjoyable evening. I loved making smoked whitefish pizza with her, listening to our husbands talking on the porch.

Friends and Locks forever.

WOW!

This was the most spectacular sunrise!

The 16 mph winds this morning made the waves rival the sun for beauty.

Honeymoon Weekend

It's such a blustery, windy, Winnie the Pooh day. The winds have been between 12 - 16 mph. We went out to take pictures this morning. Thankfully, it wasn't too cold, but the wind was crazy. After breakfast we went to the annual Triathlon in East Tawas. They switched the course around this year. Liked it better the other way.

We took a drive then back to the Huron House. We started watching a show on Netflix called Somewhere Between. It's good. Then to dinner at the Boathouse. Probably wouldn't go there again.

Watching the Tigers. This weekend is steeped in tradition. Taking pictures, the Triathlon, the Tigers. It's what we do every honeymoon weekend. I love this man.

Goodbye to Pat's Citation. He loved having that car - but it was time to get rid of it after buying the Trax and keeping the Equinox. A couple came from Ohio to buy it yesterday.

Having Fun

A friend asked on Facebook for people to sponsor his students at the new Woodley Academy at the St. Stephen's site of St. Dominic's.

This is what he asked:

Prayers for the student throughout the year
$9 to buy a Scholastic book each month
Cards for holidays and birthdays for the student

Within an hour he had over 50 people asking to sponsor one of his 25 students.

I immediately pulled out and offered to sponsor his classroom as a whole. Last week I took over these for his class.

Plastic jar filled with note cards for memories that the teacher will read the last week of school.

Ice breaker for the first week. Find a friend sheets of paper for each student. List with spots to put student's names by like:

Likes to fish
Has birthday in the same month as you
Can whistle
Plays a musical instrument


Class Coupons for things such as:

Be line leader
Read aloud
No homework
Chew gum

This week I will take him a class group project on inventions. Pat and I went to The Scrapbox to get recycables that could be used to create inventions Then I filled 5 large metal pans with the same inventory and wrote a lesson plan.

It's been fun. I told the teacher he should let me know if he wants any other things.

Pizza and Bagels

Our favorite pizza ( I ate half of one before I remembered to take a picture!) is Smoked Whitefish. This recipe makes 12 small 5" across - serves 6

Same crust:
1 1/3 cups self rising flour
1 1/3 cups Fage FF Greek yogurt

Preheat oven to 400°

Mix in bowl with rubber spatula. Knead in bowl.

Divide into 12 pieces. Spray parchment paper covered cookie sheet and spread each section of dough into a circle. 4 to a pan. Need 3 pans.

Prebake crust for 10 minutes - let cool

Mix: 6 wedges Laughing Cow cheese with 3/4 cup Fage FF Greek yogurt, 2 TBS Walden Farm's Ranch dressing and sprinkle of Italuan seasoning. Spread on cooled pizza crusts.

Top with Flaked Smoked Whitefish.

Saute onions and peppers. Season with Trader Joe's seasoning.

Mix 1 cup FF Mozzarella and 3/4 cup reduced fat sharp cheddar. Top each pizza.

Grate 1 ounce of Parmesan and grate some more until it maxes the scale without going up in weight. Top the pizza.

At this point if taking somewhere put non stick foil on each sheet. Can stack them.

Preheat oven to 400° uncover and bake a sheet on each rack. About 20 minutes.









The things I missed most were pizza and bagels. Well... no more.  We've had pizza for lunch the last two days and bagels 2 times last week.  We both love them.

Same dough - easy peasy

Pizza

1/4 cup Self Rising Flour

1/4 cup FF Greek Yogurt

Mix and then knead for a couple minutes

Preheat oven 400°

Divide into 2 and flatten on parchment paper covered cookie sheet.

We topped with

Al Fresco chicken uncured bacon 

Green peppers

FF mozzarella 

Spray with Pam Olive Oil

Bake 20 minutes

1 of these pizzas is 3 pts

Bagel

1/4 cup Self Rising Flour

1/4 cup FF Greek Yogurt

Preheat oven to 450°

Mix and knead for a couple minutes

Divide into 2 pieces

Roll into balls and stick your thumb through for the bagel hole

Brush with egg

Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar or Everything but the bagel seasoning from Trader Joe's or sesame seeds or poppy seeds

Put on parchment paper covered cookie sheet

Cover and let rise for 15 minutes

Bake for 25 minutes

One of these bagels (no seasoning) is 2 pts

I just prepped 2 Ingredient Dough - rolled out and put waxed paper between each crust and froze. It worked - however - either thaw the dough before making grilled bread or make sure the griddle is very hot. When using for Pizza I prebake the dough for a few minutes so it can be frozen when you do that. I weigh each piece before rolling them out. Each one weighs 1.6 oz which is 1 point.

It was perfect to dip into two easy over eggs.

2 TBS Golden or white balsamic vinegar

*** If you use reg balsamic vinegar like I did your apples turn brown - taste fine but look nasty!***

This is 1 delicious Freestyle Point

Jesus Looking for Agates

This brought a smile to my face.  It looks just like what Janet and I did every single day we were in Grand Marais - we looked for agates.  I spoke at her funeral and this part fits this picture:

"Imagine watching a gorgeous sunset on Lake Superior after a long walk on East Shore where the waves are pounding the beach.  Agates scattered here and there… just enough so you can find them when you really look but not so many that it is an easy pick.  Sand Dunes, the lighthouse and birch tree forests and when you turn around…   Mountains…   Yes, Mountains as in Rocky Mountains…   Mountains capped with fresh white snow with waterfalls cascading from the top. Rock formations with wildflowers blowing in the clean crisp Montana air. 

Heaven………  Janet’s Heaven… Imagine if God has waited patiently for Janet to get to Heaven all these years so a small corner of Heaven could be transformed…  How pleased God must be to have Janet in Heaven." 

Midland County Fair

Had such a good time with the kids. It was boiling hot, but no lines to wait in. Midland County Fair is our favorite.
