Favorite Recipe
Puffy Omelet
And I do mean puffy. From Better Homes & Gardens cookbook. I've always been totally intimidated by omelets, and this one was easy and amazing! Baking the omelet after cooking it on the stove a few minutes makes it a snap—and provides a chance to get the rest of dinner pulled together. Dave & I loved it; the kids loved it. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!
4 egg whites
2 Tbsp water
4 egg yolks, beaten (forgot to beat mine ahead of time and it still worked beautifully—another reason to love this recipe!)
¼ tsp salt (I'd use less next time. I was tasting the salt. Not a bad taste, but not necessary, right?)
1/8 tsp white pepper
1 Tbsp butter
1. Preheat the oven to 325.
2. Beat the egg whites with a mixer on med or high until stiff. Add water and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in the yolks, salt & pepper.
3. Melt the butter in an oven-proof skillet until a drop of water sizzles in it. Pour (or scoop) eggs into skillet, making the edges higher than the center, kind of like a very shallow bowl. Cook on low heat 6 min, then put the skillet into the oven for 10-12 minutes. Knife inserted in center should come out clean when done.
4. To serve, slice omelet down the middle a little off-center so that one side is a bit bigger than the other. Then add your favorite fillings (I just added some grated cheese), cut around the edge of the omelet to loosen the edges, fold it in half, and enjoy!

What a cute video! How old is Natalie?
I love "upy" sooooo cute!
Natalie's almost 18 months. We're in the countdown to Nursery phase ;) June 27th, here we come!
I'm so glad to see she eats like Dave. Food everywhere. HA!
Man, Julie. You got robbed. Not even one "mama." ;) She's already learned a lot of words since I last saw her though!
