Knee Deep

Have I ever told you

that I could be a bear??

go into hibernation

all fat and satisfied

then wake up in the spring

skinny and ready to enjoy the other 3 seasons?

I have tried to spend some time outside

January really sucks the life out of me

get up in the dark

come home from work in the dark

I know wah wah wah

I have been working on a fun project though

back in November I found a quilt that I fell in love with

then last week-end I found fabric to cover my headboard

and make curtains

Saturday I was off to the home improvement store

and snatched up some paint swatches

the back of the quilt is like a linen so that is what I got for the 

curtains and headboard

and the fabric is lined ~ so that is always a bonus

I would like to go a little darker with the walls

I found a color I loved

but it was too green

and I don't think you can tell by the pictures

but there is a lot of blue in it

so I have to be careful

so I am knee deep in swatches and will be taping them up

and waiting for one to jump out at me and say

pick me, pick me!!

Also on the hunt for a bedskirt ~ think I will go with a shade of blue

and get shams to match

with all the neutral colors ~ I need a punch of blue

Sunday I sat on my butt

most of the day

I did make these for brunch

and they were yummy yummy

they are from the Weight Watchers website

Individual Ham, Cheese & Veggie Frittatas

cooking spray

1 lb frozen hash browns ~ thawed

4 large eggs ~ beaten

1 tbsp fat free milk

salt & pepper to taste

2 oz lean cooked ham ~ finely chopped

1/8 c sweet red pepper ~ finely chopped

1/8 c green pepper ~ finely chopped

2 tbsp onion ~ finely chopped

1/2 c low fat shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350

coat 8 muffin tin holes with cooking spray

spread potatoes around bottom and up the sides of each muffin hole

cook for 10 minutes

Beat eggs and milk together

season with salt & pepper and add ham, cheese & veggies

mix to combine

remove potatoes from oven and press them firmly with a spoon

so they look like mini piecrusts ~ they should cover the bottom and sides

of each hole.  Pour about 1/2 c of the egg mixture into each each prepared

potato crust.

Cook until potatoes are crisp and golden and the egg mixture is set

about 15 minutes.  

you can find the recipe here.

I did not follow the recipe exactly

I did cook my veggies in advance ~ just sauted them a bit

then I spooned some of each into the potato crust 

then added the egg over in using a mini ladel

Next time I will cook the potatoes a little longer than 10 minutes

I would let them brown up a bit before adding the egg mixture

let me know if you try them ~ I will make them again!

I will leave you with a picture of the kids

it is so hard to get a shot of the 2 of them together

I lucked out Saturday night though

although Molly was busy looking at Trev as he was saying

stay ~ stay ~ stay!!

too funny...

Hope you had a wonderful week-end

and an even better week.
