Protein in a Cloud

Last night I had "brinner". (Breakfast for dinner). Most people consider eggs, bacon or sausage, biscuits/toast to be brinner, but I had eggs and oatmeal. Not just any eggs, but cloud eggs.

One bite of these hen fruits will be all you need to know why they are called "cloud" eggs. They are so light and fluffy. They look like they would be difficult to make, but they aren't at all.

Turn on your oven and separate the eggs.

Isn't my egg separator nifty? I found it online, but if you don't have one a water or soda bottle works too.

Whisk the egg whites until foamy, add salt. Continue whisking until stiff peaks form. I used my hand mixer with a whisk attachment, but regular beaters would work too.

When egg whites resemble Cool Whip, gently fold in grated cheese. I used Parmesan because that's what I had on hand, but any cheese would be good, as well as bacon bits.

Spoon the egg white/cheese mixture into equal size mounds onto a lightly oiled or parchment paper lined baking sheet. Using the back of the spoon, press lightly on the center of each mound to make a yolk-sized well. Bake 4-5 minutes, just until the clouds start to turn color. Gently place a yolk in the well of each cloud, (my separator worked great for that, but you can use a spoon, just be careful not to rupture the yolk.), return to oven and bake until desired doneness.

This was after baking for 3 minutes ,roughly sunnyside up. Bake about 8 minutes for fully set.

Cloud Eggs

4 eggs

1/16 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 400℉. Separate the eggs, put the whites in a large bowl, the yolks in a small bowl and set aside. Whisk the whites until they are foamy, add salt. Keep whisking until firm peaks form. Gently fold in cheese. Spoon egg whites in 4 equal mounds on a lightly oiled or parchment paper lined baking sheet. Use the back of a spoon to make yolk-size wells in center of each mound. Bake until just starting to color, about 5 minutes. Gently spoon a yolk into the well of each mound. Return to the oven and bake until desired doneness is reached. About 3 minutes for runny, up to 8 minutes for fully set. Serve immediately.

Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels!

There's Something Fishy About It

How ya'll doing? I hope everyone is enjoying the last lazy, hazy days of summer. Fall is officially right around the corner. Shew, summer absolutely flew by! Kids are already back in school. Speaking of kids, my youngest grandchild is coming tomorrow to spend a week with me. I'm excited! We will have so much fun playing, going to the mall for Dippin' Dots, and whatever else we want to do . I cleaned my house today, Hurricane Lillian hits tomorrow. 🤣 I told Lillian she can help me cook our meals, and I'm sure we will be eating salmon at least once, so here is a very tasty and colorful salmon entrée. Mix marinade and pour it over the salmon in a glass dish, turn to coat well. Put it in the refrigerator and don't think about it anymore until it is time to cook dinner. . Next, make the relish. Just mix it up in a medium bowl. That's it, nothing more except to cover it and put it in the fridge. How easy is that? No

Mediterraneyum!

It's been more than a hot minute since I've made an entry here. In fact, it's almost been a year. The truth isn't because I've been too busy-no the truth is much, much more shameful: I've been too lazy. Too lazy to write, and too lazy to eat the way I know I should eat. However, on the bright side, I have recently passed consecutive day 1000 of walking at least one mile. It's something that five years ago I would have said would be impossible. I have, for the last couple of weeks, returned to eating more whole, less processed foods. In that short time, I have already lost a few pounds, and more importantly, have begun to feel great! At the end of each of these blog entries I have always written, " Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels!!". That is a lie, a fallacy, fiction, untruth, falsehood, fib, whatever word for it you choose. What I meant in the statement is that healthy feels better than food tastes. I think I

Colorful and Tasty

So last time I told you about cucumber soup and said I was going to triple the recipe the next time I made it. Well...I had planned to do just that, however; I went to the farmers market, went crazy and bought a ridiculous amount of cucumbers, therefore; I will be making quadruple the amount. 🤣 You know what one of the best things is about fresh produce? The colors! The more colorful the dish, the more nutritious. This recipe is full of flavor. Do not let the fact that good balsamic vinegar is expensive stop you from making this fabulous side dish, below the recipe is a method of taking cheap balsamic vinegar and turning it into what has more of the taste of a higher quality vinegar. Balsamic Strawberry Asparagus serves 6 1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed 1 Tbs olive oil 1 cup balsamic vinegar* about 20 medium strawberries, sliced 10 basil leaves, chopped salt and pepper to taste Preheat oven to 400° F. Place asparagus
