A NEW DAY!

           I haven't really given this  Blog  a chance, but decided to revisit this and thought it would be fun to do this again.  This blog was mainly focus on food and recipes, but even though I still love food and will be doing lots of recipes and posting them here. I also want this blog to be a bit of everything from Items I love to Family stories.
      
           A little bit about me I have an amazing wife who is a Flight Medic and a Ground Paramedic ( anyone who has a relationship with a first responder knows the stresses and worry that can bring) . Beckie (my wife) were legally married in 10-10-14 In Utah (yay equality!)  Beckie has two daughters and it was an instant family for me not having any of my own children , and her daughters became our daughters. They are becoming teenagers and that is a big eye opener for me! I was an angel right Mom? ;)
           
             I am trying to eat better and cut out chemicals in my cooking and I really love Paleo  so I will be posting a lot of Paleo recipes and some that are not but I would love to be more healthy and active.  There are some great websites and blogs that are Paleo and I will put the links when I use them on my blog.

           So this is a little bit about me, would love this space to be positive and fun! Please feel free to leave comments to any post ! I am excited to go forward with this blog this will be FUN!!!!



               

Omelets

 Omelets are simple but  can be very tricky especially trying to get the middle cooked and be presented correctly. I had a really hard time mastering this I tried flipping it all over like a big pancake but that ended up more times as a scramble and being burned on one side. What I have learned to do is once you have your egg mixture and ingredients in your omelet have it on a low temp, so the out side of the omelet will not burn . As you see the outer edges of the omelet forming and stiffing  put a pot lid over the omelet  and it will start cooking the middle, you only need to keep the lid on for a couple of min until you see it cooking in the middle. Then I fold it over with a spatula  (make sure the edges are stiff and the egg looks cooked) Then there is the wonderful half moon shape in the pan giving you a smile saying well done, well at least I always smile with a little bit of pride when the omelet comes out. If you see  juices coming out of the omelet while it is still cooking  I put the lid  back on for a min or so and it will cook the raw part.. Then transfer  to a plate top the omelet with  what you love ( I always top it with Avocado) Enjoy!!!

The picture above is a simple ham, cheese, and veggie omelet.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog!! I am excited to have a place to talk about food, recipes, and restaurants. I will post my thoughts on the restaurants I have been too, the new recipes I have tried, and fun ideas from you on recipes, restaurants, new ideas on food. (ok maybe we can talk about love but not that much hehehe) This is just a fun blog to see where food can take us.  

Here is my first attempt on the Indian classic Chicken Tikka Masala. Found the recipe at Pioneer Women website. It was a big hit. Needed about and hour and half of time from start to finish. I did find all ingredients at my local grocery store (Harmens) . Even a very picky 6 year old loved this dish, so great for the KIDS!!!! I give this dish 3 out of 4 spatulas.
