Lazy Day Sunday

I let Shannon sleep late this morning as she had had a bad night with her knee while I read Sherlock Holmes on my Kindle app for my phone. We wanted a slightly larger breakfast as we are using it for brunch as many people do on Sundays.

Omelet

Put electric skillet on to heat at 350 deg. or heat your skillet to medium heat. Meanwhile thinly slice about one-half cup on onions into small microwavable bowl and add one-fourth cup of chopped green peppers (I used frozen because I had them in the freezer), microwave on high for at least 2 minutes until soft.

Spray hot skillet (always add butter or spray after the skillet is hot) with your favorite non-stick cooking spray. Break four large eggs into small bowl, add salt and pepper to taste and beat well (do not beat too long) and pour into sprayed skillet. Let eggs sit and cook until you can take a large pancake turner and turn egg cake over, add two slices of sliced American cheese, broken to fit on one-half of the egg cake, spoon onions and peppers over the cheese and use your pancake turner to fold omelet in half. Cut omelet in half and put each half on serving plate and serve with your favorite juice and buttered toast. We had Jewish rye toast spread with 2 tsps of soft margarine. Found out after we ate that one slice is 1 point but 2 slices is 3 points which made our brunch points add up to 11.5 points as I had vegetable juice to drink. Shannon's was slightly more as she had 8 ounces of pineapple juice. With her alergies she has to be careful of orange juice and tomato juice.

We watched the Cowboys trounce the Giants while we nibbled on air-popped popcorn sprayed with a buttery flavored spray. We also had some other snacks because it would be quite a while between brunch and dinner.

Shannon took over grilling rib-eyes on her fancy Grill while I nuked (microwaved) some potatoes and steamed some broccoli. Be sure to poke a knife into your potatoes before you put them in the microwave so they don't explode. As for the broccoli, just follow the directions on the package. With milk this made a very filling meal. I know a lot of you don't have a fancy Grill, but any skillet or grill will do great and steaks are one thing that really don't require a cookbook.

All in all it was a very enjoyable and quiet Sunday. Have a great week everybody.
