Spinach and Mushroom Frittata

Yesterday morning I thought I'd whip up a special breakest to thank JoAnne for all the fun we had this past week while she was here visiting me and Michael. I wanted to cook her a special breakfast to send her on her way back to Wisconsin.

Here is the recipe that I followed and it turned out just wonderful!!

INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon EVOO
1 shallot, chopped
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

1 can diced mushrooms
5 eggs, beaten
2 cups shredded Mozz. cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9 inch pie pan.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft. Stir in spinach and continue cooking until excess moisture has evaporated.
In a large bowl, combine eggs, cheese, salt and pepper. Add spinach mixture and mushrooms and stir to blend. Scoop into prepared pie pan.
Bake in preheated oven until eggs have set, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!!

BLT Halftime Spread

I haven't tried it but I will and I will take pictures and all that good stuff. I am afraid that I will lose the piece of paper therefore I have to post this recipe.

In bowl mix one 16 oz. carton sour cream, one 15 oz. jar of Hellman's mayonnaise and 3/4 of fried bacon.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

So for the Brewer's Home opener I wanted to make something delicious to contribute to the feast we would have. So I wanted to make chocolate peanut chip cookies for some time now so this was the perfect opportunity.

The cookies I am showing you look pretty good. I have learned my leason. DO NOT PUT FRESHLY BAKED COOKIES IN A PLASTIC BAG. They turned into cookie debris. They were still good though and fairly easy to make.

2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups of unsalted butter
2/3 cup of cocoa powder
2 eggs
1 cup of packed brown sugar (I think I used light brown)
3/4 cup of white granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups peanut butter chips
handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

in large bowl cream butter, brown sugar, sugar. Then add slightly beaten eggs and vanilla. in another bowl combine cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, and salt. Slow add cocoa flour mixture into the butter sugar mixture.

Fold in peanut butter and chocolate chips in mixture.

Refrigerate cookie mixture for 30-minutes to an hour.

Drop rounded spoonfuls (depending on cookie size you desire) onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool for a couple of minutes then transfer to cooling rack. Cool.

Enjoy.
