Meal Plan

We've been watching all the track meets that have been on TV lately. I could watch a good meet at least once a week. Turns out Luke really likes track. He likes to watch people "run fast". He'll get in a standing racing start position and say, "Ready set Go!". Here he is relaxing one Sunday afternoon watching track.

Also, lately Luke has been talking about "Tricky Birds". I don't know where he got that, but it sure is funny. Tricky birds say tweet tweet. Luke informs me of this often.

No "new" recipes this time, for us anyway =) Sometimes I'm "feelin'" tryin new things...other times, not so much. I was just looking over this list and almost all of these are my mom's recipes.

We're having a going away for the Lindens, some friends of ours who are going to be Missionaries in Rwanda. So that's what the extras are all for that.

Italian Omelette

2 T olive oil

1 onion finely chopped

4 1/2 oz ham, sliced thin

6 eggs

1/4 c milk

2 cups cooked short cut pasta (or 1 1/4 c before it's cooked)

1/4 c parmesan cheese

1 tsp parsley

3/4 tsp basil

1/2 c cheddar

Sautee onion in oil. Add ham and stir for 1 minute. Set aside. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together then season with salt and pepper. Stir in cooked pasta, parmesan, herbs and onion mixture. Return everything to pan. Sprinkle with cheddar. Cook over medium heat until mixture begisns to set around the edges. Place under a broiler to complete the cooking.

I know pasta in an omelette sounds weird, but it really turned out well and Traver and Kyle both really liked it. It also has to be really inexpensive to make. Eggs...pasta...not exactly pricey ingredients!
