How to make perfect, fluffy scrambled eggs

Everybody knows how to scramble eggs, you might think. True, anybody can scramble eggs, but making a fluffy, moist scramble is a bit of an art form. I really loathe overcooked, rubbery or browned eggs. So many diners and delis serve them this way, which means I rarely go out for breakfast anymore. Why should I, when it’s perfectly easy (and way less expensive) to make tasty eggs at home? Here’s how!

Poppyseed Chicken

I admit, I need a new camera, but until then this will have to do.  My husband and I really enjoyed this, my kids weren't too impressed.  We served it with rice and it made great leftovers.

3-4 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed

1 can cream of chicken

1 c. sour cream

2 T. butter

1 package (roll) Ritz crackers, crushed

2 T. poppy seeds

* Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix chicken, crm of chicken and sour cream in 8x8 pan.  Melt butter and combine with crackers and poppy seeds.  Spread over the top.  Bake for 30 minutes and serve with rice.

Shredded Pork Tacos

This recipe comes from my friend Erica.  It is a huge favorite and so easy to make.  It reminds me a lot of Cafe Rio pork.

3-4 lb pork roast

2 c. salsa

2 c. brown sugar

* Put roast in crockpot.  Mix salsa and brown sugar together and pour over roast.  Cook for 6-8 hours on low.  Before serving, pull apart with two forks and let sit in salsa mixture for half hour.  Serve with your favorite taco toppings: cheese, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, etc.  It's that easy.  Go great with Spanish Rice.

Alfredo Sauce

My husband loves pasta and when we found this recipe from Family Favorite Recipes there was no going back.  My kids devour it every time I make it and it is so good with chicken, broccoli, shrimp and anything else you can think of.

1 cube butter

1 8oz package cream cheese

1/2 c. sour cream

1 t. minced garlic

2 c. milk

1 c. parmesan cheese

1 small package spaghetti noodles

* Over medium heat melt butter.  Add sour cream, cream cheese and garlic, whisking until smooth.  Add milk and parmesan cheese (I will tell you that if you use "real" parmesan it will taste better than the bottled stuff) and cook, stirring frequently until it reaches desired consistency.  Pour over noodles.  Hope you enjoy it, we sure do!

Navajo Tacos

This is great to do for dinner on the night you make bread.  Very yummy and my kids love it.

Whole Wheat Bread Dough

1 lb hamburger

Taco Seasoning

1 can drained, black beans

Cheese

Sourcream

Lettuce, chopped

Tomatoes, chopped

Salsa

Anything else you like on tacos

*  Heat up oil in fry pan.  Pinch off small pieces of dough and spread out on greased surface using your fingers.  You can make them as big or as small as you want.  Put them in oil and fry until light brown on each side.  Drain on paper towels.

* Meanwhile, cook hamburger thoroughly, breaking into small pieces.  Add seasonings and black beans.  Then take your scone and layer on each topping.  Meat, cheese, sourcream, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa and any other toppings you enjoy.

Crockpot BBQ Chicken

So I had some chicken that I needed to cook and a very full evening so I thought I better just throw it in the crockpot to make the evening less chaotic.  I made up my own sauce and it turned out great.  Sorry the family ate everything before I could get a picture.

1 c. BBQ sauce (we love Sweet Baby Rays at our house)

1 c. maple syrup

2 T. worchestershire sauce

4 T. ketchup

3 chicken breasts

* Stir first four ingredients together in crockpot.  Put chicken in crockpot, making sure all pieces are covered with sauce.  Cook for abt 6 hours on medium heat.  We put ours over rice and I'm sure it would be really good with mashed potatoes also.
