SCRAMBLED EGG MUFFINS! Yum

My boss has been bringing egg muffins to work with him and warming them up in microwave for his breakfast. Said it was a new recipe his wife had found and he really liked them so I thought I would give it a try and see how it would go over in my house. You know, I live with 'Mr. Picky'. This morning I gave it a shot and it PASSED as a these aren't so bad. I made half of them with sausage and the other half with bacon. You can refrigerate or freeze for a quick breakfast fix when running late. Just warm them up in the microwave. We just put one on a plate and cut up so you had a 'scrambled egg omelet'.

SCRAMBLED EGG MUFFINS
1/2 lb bulk pork sausage (I used half of that for 6 and put bacon in other 6)
12 eggs
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped gr pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (I used Kraft Four Cheese)

In a skillet, cook the sausage (or bacon) over medium heat until done. In a bowl, beat the eggs, add onion, gr pepper, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir in meat and cheese.
Spoon 1/3 cupful into greased muffin cups. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. (I baked mine for 20 min and they were done)

Hope you enjoy!

A WEEKEND OF SLEDDING WITH GRANDPA

Nick came up and stayed this weekend and brought his sled. So of course he and Grandpa Bob had to try it out since we've had so much snow. Me?....someone had to take the pictures and be ready to pick up the pieces if there were any 'accidents'. :p

Taking turns sledding down the hill



Sledding can really wear a person out.


How about some video??

Here Grandpa Bob and Nick try sledding together.

ANOTHER IOWA BLIZZARD

Another storm hit this week leaving LOTS of snow and many closed roads. But no matter how high the drift......he got into his 'man shed'! :-)


A little snow is nice but this is ridiculous!



This is what the highway looked like east of our driveway this morning.
Yes, there really is a highway under that snow

This is what the highway looked like west of our driveway. Very large drift

Large drift in our yard by the highway.
