What's Hanging in Your Kitchen?

These are my new dish towel patterns.

I just love watering cans!

I thought they would help spring up my kitchen.

Embroidered dish towels always make a kitchen seem even more home-y.

Theses patterns are at my etsy shop.

Where Would You Love to Cook Today?

So clean and fresh!

I know the last kitchen was blue and white....

but doesn't it just make you want to mess it up...

LOL

I love the curtains and the dark counter tops with the white.

And who doesn't love an island!

I got this one from:

And I can just hear kids and smell breakfast.

So lets have:

Pop-Eye Eggs with Cheese and Salsa

http://www.kalynskitchen.com  

(Ingredients given are for two servings, recipe adapted by Kalyn with memories of Pop-Eye Eggs made by her mother.)

Ingredients:
1 tsp+ 1 tsp olive oil
2 pieces whole wheat bread (I use Jack Spratt Bread sprouted wheat bread.)
2 large eggs
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup low-fat grated cheese (I use Four Cheese Mexican Blend)
salsa for serving, optional but good

Instructions:

Have all ingredients ready on counter.  Use a small juice glass to cut a hole directly in the center of each piece of bread.  (I use a glass that's 2 1/4 inches across, and save the holes from the bread to make whole wheat bread crumbs.  You can also toast the holes and dip them in the egg.)  

Use a heavy frying pan large enough to hold both pieces of bread.  Heat the pan for about 30 seconds over medium heat, brushing the pan with 1 tsp. olive oil.  Add the pieces of bread and cook until one side is browned and toasted, about 2-3 minutes.  Turn pieces of bread over.

Drizzle 1/2 tsp. of oil into the center of each piece of bread and immediately break an egg into the hole, being careful not to break the egg.  Season eggs with salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste, then sprinkle each piece of bread with about 2 tablespoons of grated cheese.  Cover pan and cook until cheese is melted, egg white is firm, and yolks are as done as you'd like them, about 3-4 minutes.  (I cook mine for about 3 minutes in a cast iron pan for a slightly runny yolk.)

Serve hot, with salsa drizzled over if desired.

If you haven't hit this blog for recipes you really should!

I just love blue ...and there is something calming about a blue kitchen.

this one is so calming. It reminds me of my Grandmother's kitchen.

Just the blue....

I do think the wall above the stove needs a quilt...LOL

I love the sink too and what a cute stove.

I found this kitchen over at:

http://trendwelt.blogspot.com/

There were a lot of  beautiful rooms to look at, you should stop by.

Now what to cook in this calm room...

since it made me think of my Grandmother I think

So what to eat....

I think want pancakes !

and I was over at:

http://fountainavenuekitchen.com/

And found this recipe!

Cottage Pancakes

• 6 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
• 1/2 cup flour (see comments above regarding gluten-free options)
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1. Beat eggs until light. Mash cottage cheese (Kathleen uses a food processor, I used my mini chopper to really get it smooth). Add to eggs along with the remaining ingredients. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a lightly-greased griddle (I like to use my cast iron skillet) and cook over medium heat until browned on both sides and cooked through. Top with maple syrup or fresh fruit, as desired.
2. Makes about 2 dozen small pancakes. I made mine a bit bigger and got 17 or 18.

Notes

For a healthy and aromatic option, try using coconut oil to cook your pancakes.

I don't want to cook anywhere today...

I have the flu. So this is where I want to eat today.

Doesn't this bed look like the best place to curl up and be sick.

I love the head board and the pillows look so inviting.
