first!

now the problem is what to write about on this blog. i like the food blogs and i like reading about recipes, but i don't think i want to spend every day blogging about recipes. sometimes i'm lazy and want to have taco night and then what do you write about?
i am starting a diet (we're calling it a healthy life change) but what could be more boring than reading about someone's highs and lows on their new diet plan?
same with the exercise program.
i don't have cute kids to write about, but i do have a very funny boyfriend and a quirky little cat.
also, i am exactly 4 months from turning 30. 120 more days of being in my twenties...
one month after the big b-day, a & i are moving to jax, so that'll be something to write about.
i guess, seeing as this is my narcissistic creation, it doesn't matter what i write. i can just yammer on about whatever i want, so here goes...

i will start with a recipe. i made this last night with all the eggs in the house. i had previously told a that i would make popovers to go with the beef stew i made. i also told him i would make mashed potatoes. instead i made this spinach-egg creation (neither of which he likes) and made nothing to go with the beef stew. which wasn't really a proper stew seeing that it was mostly just beef in some broth. i didn't have any carrots and didn't include the potatoes because i was planning on mashing them. but i really liked this spinach creation. i just ate a giant portion of it.

6 eggs
about 1 package of deli ham, julienned
1 carton (equivalent of 8 eggs) egg substitute
3 green onions
1/2 a bag or more of spinach (i shredded it in the food processor)
1/2 carton of cottage chesse (rinsed and added only the curds)
1/2 block of feta cheese
2 or 3 shallots
fresh dill
1-2 T milk, half and half or cream
3/4 t salt
grate in a little nutmeg
a few shakes of cayenne

preheat oven to 375
thoroughly spray a 9x13 pan
add ham to bottom
in large bowl whisk eggs with milk and cottage cheese curds
add remaining ingredients
pour over ham and bake about 35 min. until casserole is set and browning on top.
