Green Eggs & Ham

I found the following recipe on the Top Chef (Bravo) website and think it is a fun idea for St. Patrick's day. Since we don't eat much meat, we just made the egg and salsa. It was good, the egg is just a normal egg so the salsa makes it a bit more special. My guess is this recipe really pops when you have the ham with it. In any case, I'm hoping our children will think it is fun. Here you go:

Carla's Green Eggs & Ham

Prep time, about 30 minutes
Serves: 3-4

Ingredients:

For Green Eggs:
4 egg whites
1/2 cup spinach
4 quail yolks (we just used the yolks from the eggs where we got the whites, chicken eggs)
Salt & Pepper to taste

Ham & toast:
8 oz. ham or thick bacon, diced
chives
brioche
clarified butter

Salsa: (i didn't actually follow this at all, just kind of used it as a guide, so I'm not positive what it is like if you follow the recipe)

1/2 avocado, small diced
1 green tomato, small dice
1 jalapeno, small dice
1/2 tsp garlic, minced
1/2 tsp chives, snipped finely
salt & pepper to taste
Parsley
1 jalapeno, roasted & peeled & diced
olive oil
Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Blend the spinach with 2 egg whites. Whisk into the remaining 2 egg whites.
2. In a cold skillet sprayed with oil and on low heat, pour in the spinach mixture.
3. Gently spoon the quail yolk into the center of spinach/whites. Cook until whites are
set.
4. In another pan, cook bacon or ham. Drain pieces on a paper towel.
Toss bacon with chives.
5. Brush brioche with clarified butter. Toast in medium skillet.
6. Create parsley-jalapeno oil by blending 1 cup parsley, and roasted jalapeno with 1 cup oil, and add salt.
7. Combine jalapeno oil and all the ingredients for salsa. Season to taste.
8. Serve each green egg with diced bacon, salsa and toast. Enjoy!

Josh got me to try some lentil soup at Corner Bakery. I was nervous, because I have not liked lentils in the past, but in the past few years I have grown to love many things I hadn't previously. And I liked it! So I immediately went on the hunt for a "copy cat" recipe, and though I have no idea if this is in fact the same, all three of us enjoyed it!  Lentil Vegetable Soup 2/3 c green lentils 1/3 c orange lentils (you can really use whatever lentils you wants) 1 lg onion, roughly chopped 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 lg tomato, chopped 1-2 carrots, diced 1/2 c mushrooms 1/2 bunch spinach or 2-3 big leaves of kale, chopped fine 1/4 c corn 2-4 c vegetable/chicken broth S&P to taste Combine and wash all lentils and set aside.

Cover and let t...

Easy Shepherd's Pie

1 lb. ground beef 2 cups hot mashed potatoes 1 cup KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed 1 cup beef gravy PREHEAT oven to 375ºF. Brown meat in large skillet. Meanwhile, mix potatoes, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese and the garlic until well blended. DRAIN meat. Return to skillet; stir in vegetables and gravy. Spoon into 9-inch square baking dish; cover with potatoes and remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese. BAKE 20 min. or until heated through. Many of you know Jon and I are picky eaters. This is one recipe we came across in the Krafts Food magazine when we were searching for meals we'd both like. I have never had Shepherd's Pie before, but I liked it. I especially like that it is pretty quick and easy. It tastes good as leftovers too. We haven't mixed the cheese into the potatoes because we didn't really feel like it or added garlic just because we didn't have any, but I'm sure it'd still taste good.
