Wonderful Mother's Day spent with THE BEST family ever!!

These first 2 I picked out for myself from Tony (hubby)!:)  I absolutely LOVE both of them!!  (I think I've got a little bit of an addiction!)

Isn't it GEORGEOUS!!

And oh how I love these as well!!  The original plates for my plate stand were broken about a year ago and I've been on the search ever since for something that would fit that I liked...WELL I FOUND THEM!!  And not only do I get the plates for my stand but also got a bonus bowl and mug (that are both oversized...I'm going to love them as well!!)  This picture doesn't do them justice either...they are beautiful!!

As much as I love my new dishes...these were my favorite presents of the day!!

"Top Ten Reasons Why I Love My Mom"

These were 2 of my favorites

I'm so glad my boy thinks I'm beautiful!!  And such a great similie!!

And I'm glad he likes my cooking!!

And from Eli:

Here's the poem in the inside:

And Rhett made me a card...he gave it to me and then took it back because he liked it...and now I can't find it!:)  But that boy must have told me 3 or 4 times throughout the day yesterday "Happy Mother's Day Mom!"  And would give me a big hug.  That's what I love the most!!

And yes...to those wondering I had the best omelet in the world yesterday for breakfast!!:)

Tony also made The Best Enchilada's Ever, along with some melon...pictured in my new bowl above!  Then we had some delicious cake for dessert...recipe will be posted soon!

It was a wonderful Mother's Day...I am so blessed to have been raised by a wonderful Mother who is still the best Mom around and such a great Grandma to my children!  I'm so thankful for her.  She's the one who taught me how to cook and bake and I'm now hoping to instill that in my daughter.  And I think it's working!!:)

I'm also so blessed to have such wonderful children who I love dearly!  I love watching & participating in their accomplishments and watching them grow into who they are going to become...and so far I like what I'm seeing!

Hope everyone else had a fabulous Mother's Day as well...with wonderful food to share!:)

Mother's Day Omelet

My hubby Tony makes THE BEST omelet's in the world!!  And I almost always get one in bed for Mother's Day...so I'm looking forward to it tomorrow!!:)  Anyway, I made him go through the ingredients and steps with me so you could all try them. 

Here's an idea for all you mother's out there.  Print out the recipe and place it somewhere your hubby will see it...maybe he'll get the hint???  Or just make it yourself...either way you won't be disappointed!

Mother's Day Omelet

PRINT RECIPE

(this picture makes me salivate...so yummy!)

3 eggs

1 Tablespoon canned diced green chillies

1/3 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon oil

1/2 of a small red onion, chopped

1/2 of a green pepper, chopped

Fully cooked ham, chopped

 (or breakfast meat of your choice...bacon & sausage work well too!)

Cheese (Tony likes to use Kraft cheddar singles & swiss, but you can use whatever cheese you like)

Heat the 1 teaspoon of oil in a small frying pan over medium heat.  Add the onion and peppers and cook for about 5 minutes or until they are tender.  Add the ham and heat through.  Set aside.

Warm up another small frying pan over medium heat.  Spray with cooking spray so your egg won't stick!  Put the eggs in a small (2 cup size) pourable measuring cup and whisk until all mixed.  Add the green chillies and the salt and pepper and mix until combined.  Pour egg mixture into your frying pan and cook for about 3 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned.  Now for the tricky part!  (This is the only step Tony lets me help him with because he's not the best flipper!)  Grab a wide spatula and work your way around the omelet losening up all the edges and underneath.  Slide the spatula under the omelet and carefully flip!  If it doesn't quite make it that's alright, it may not look the best but it will still taste great!

While the other side is cooking, take one slice of each kind of cheese you want and cut it in half.  Place the cheeses on one half of you omelet.  Place a few Tablespoons of your onion, pepper, ham mixture on top of the cheese (still on only half of your omelet).  Now take your spatula and fold the side that doesn't have anything on it over top the other side.  Remove from the pan onto a plate. 

 Add some toast & a glass of orange juice and you've got an excellent Mother's Day breakfast!!
