Whipped Feta Tomato Toasts

It’s unbelievably hot in Amman this week. They’re calling it a heat wave, and we’re hitting temperatures hotter than Aqaba (which by the way gets really hot in the summer). Central Air Conditioning isn’t a thing in most homes. It’s kind of like the heater thing. You only cool the room you’re in. In an ideal world, I would have central A/C and a swimming pool at home that I’d spend all day everyday floating on a pool raft and sipping ice cold Diet Coke while watching my dog play and swim.  (more…)

Sunny Side Up Egg in Toast

 

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. I know, I’m a total sucker for all these Hallmark holidays. It gives me something to look forward to. I just love the themes.

I enjoy pulling together artsy surprises for my family and the girls.

Crafts aren’t the only way to show Holiday Love. We all know that the best way to a anyone’s heart, is through their stomach. Ah, I couldn’t have said it better myself. So in addition to my little crafts, heart-shaped food is the way to go. (more…)

Egg Cups – Two Ways

I love spending quality time with my mom. It’s amazing how much closer my mom and I have gotten as I’ve gotten older. It must be that once you’re done with trying to get away with things, you have something in common with her that all of sudden makes you understand why she thinks the way she does. That’s just my theory.

So my mom and I spent the weekend on a staycation together. And what better way to bond than over breakfast. I wanted to try out these egg cups but I decided to make them two ways with turkey bacon and without.

Turkey Bacon Egg Cups

Ingredients

3 slices Pepperidge Farm Very Thin Whole Wheat Bread
3 large Eggs
3 slices Turkey Bacon
Cooking Spray
Sea Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
 

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Spray a 6-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
Using a round cup or cookie cutter, cut circles into each piece of bread.
Place the bread rounds at the bottom of each muffin cup.
Toast in the oven for 5 minutes.
Place one slice of turkey bacon inside of each cup with the scalloped side up.
Crack one egg into each breaded, bacon-lined cup.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake for 20 minutes (less if you want the yolks runny).
