Breakfast Skillet

This has become our favorite Sunday dinner lately. Jayson makes it for our family, and we’ve all requested it for Christmas Morning breakfast. Yum!

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cups frozen Southern-style hash brown potatoes
• 16 ounces ground sausage (I use Jimmy Dean)
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

1. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add potatoes; cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until golden, 6 to 8 minutes.
2. At the same time in another skillet, cook sausage, and mushrooms. (you can add bell peppers, if desired) Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 4 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Continue stirring. When sausage is fully cooked. Break 4 eggs over mixture in skillet. Stir, scrambling eggs while they cook. When eggs are cooked, sprinkle cheddar cheese on top and serve.

BTW - Definitely use Southern-Style hash browns.

"Homemade" Donuts

I made these yesterday. They were so much better then any time I have ever made donuts. I think it is because I bought the Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits.

(Fried in Veg. Oil on low heat)

Alma came home and was like WHOA they are so much better then any other time I made them.

The powder sugar made like a glaze on them, and i just cut them in forths and I did not roll them. I left them fluffy, I think that made them better. And NUTELLA on them... yum.

Enjoy!

Crock Pot Orange Chicken

I saw this recipe on Pinterest and got super excited. So we made it last night. Well, I think... no not think... i know that in my 4 years of marriage... this was THE WORST MEAL I have ever made. So if you see this DON'T!!!

It is 1 can of thawed Orange Juice Concentrate

4 T Brown Sugar

3 T Ketchup

1 tsp Balsamic Vinager

1/2 tsp salt

Dip peices of chicken in eggs and flour and then brown with out cooking all the way through, toss into crockpot and pour sauce over it.

Cook 5-6 hours on Low

2-3 on High

Serve over White rice

The taste was like a sour yuck! It smelled like YUCK, the chicken was overcooked, it tasted nothing like orage chicken.

We never do not eat the meal I make. But this was not edible.

I then went back to the recipe and read the reviews, there were many that said they threw it out. A few said they ate it but did a lot of different variations to it. So they didn't eat it like this recipe was. Anyway, why did I post this... just so we all can save ourselves from making this horrible meal, and if anyone has an easy fun way to do orange chicken... POST!

Fried Tuna Patties

Well it came time for dinner and I had no meat thawed and so I remembered I had seen these on line. You just mix a can 2 cans of tuna with egg, seasoning, mustard and bread and mold them into a pattie and fry them in a pan.

They were not horrible, but I am not sure I would make them again.

But if you are curious... have fun!
