Frittata

Our neighbors asked my oldest son to water their animals while they were away on vacation.  In return he could bring home all the eggs he could carry.  By the end of the week, we had so many eggs I didn't have room for them all.  I finally cracked a couple dozen, scrambled them up and baked them in pie plates.  They turned out great and got eaten up.

One pie plate can hold about 8-10 eggs maybe more depending on the size.  I put about 1/2 stick of melted butter in the pie plate first.  Scramble the eggs, add about 3/4 cup milk & a cup of cheese.  I used mild cheddar because it's what I had on hand, but a sharp cheddar would've tasted great!  Then I added some salt & pepper and poured in all into a pie plate. 

You can add your own variations including but not limited to: ham, bacon, green onions, olives, mushrooms, etc. If I hadn't been in a such a hurry, I would've added them all! 

I baked them for about 30 minutes at 350.  The edges will cook faster so just keep checking the center until it's cooked thoroughly.

Marshmallow Popcorn

I recently heard of marshmallow popcorn and couldn't wait to try it.  I've made it twice in three days.  That's how good it is!

Ingredients
5 cups mini marshmallows
6 Tbsp. butter
2 tsp. vanilla
4 quarts air-popped popcorn

Melt butter in a medium/large saucepan.  Add marshmallows and vanilla and stir until melted.  Pour over popped popcorn and stir well. 



Ooey-Gooey Goodness!!
