Bacon Egg Cottage Cheese Casserole

Thank you Martha Stewart for this recipe, I adapted it to my liking and it turned out AWESOME! Served it for brunch with some friends and they all loved it. This is super easy, I prepared it the night before and baked it the next morning.

5 English muffins, split, toasted, and cut in half
package of turkey bacon cooked and cut into bite size pieces
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese
8 large eggs
1/2 cups low fat milk
1 cup low fat cottage cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Dash of Paprika
Optional additions:
sauted mushrooms
grilled onions
sauted spinach


  1. Spray a 2-quart shallow baking dish (oval or square); set aside. In dish, alternately arrange, cut side down, muffin halves and bacon. Sprinkle with cheddarcheese. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cottage cheese, paprika, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, a pinch of pepper until combined. Pour over muffins and bacon; cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake uncovered for about an hour, cover and bake for another 20 minutes.  Let stand 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
I want to try making this again but in a muffin tin. I'm thinking I can bake then freeze them and serve as needed for individual servings.

Chipotle Bacon Lentil Tacos

This recipe is a somewhat different take on tacos, but I didn't know what to call them so here it is! These 'tacos' are an easy, super healthy dinner and they were a huge hit at my house tonight!  I'm so happy when my kids gobble up their dinners - and it's somewhat healthy food! Yay! :)  Now. I could've made this vegetarian but I decided at the last minute to add a little turkey bacon. I had some in the freezer that I needed to use up so thought, why not! Bacon makes everything taste better.... Here's the ingredient list: 8 multi-grain medium size tortillas ( I used Fresh & Easy 100 calorie multigrain tortillas) 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 cup lentils, uncooked, cleaned 1/2 cup rice, uncooked 2 cups water 1 cup chicken broth 1-2 tablespoons taco seasoning 1 cup fresh spinach 1 cup frozen corn 1/2 cup salsa 6 oz (1/2 package) turkey bacon 1 cup low fat Mexican blend cheese sour cream chipotle sauce In medium sauce pan add water...

Slow Cooker BBQ Beer Beef n Cheese Wraps

This turned out to be a very flavorful dish and made enough meat to save for left overs! I used agave syrup but you could substitute brown sugar if you wish. This came out so good I can't wait to make it again! Please try it and let me know what you think. NOTE: The rice in this recipe gets kind of mushy and blends in with the meat as kind of a filler. If you don't like your rice this way then I suggest taking some of the liquid out of the crock pot to cook your rice with on the stove. But really, it was good cooked in the crock pot, just not your usual rice. :) 2-3 lb. London broil 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix 1 tsp. minced garlic 1 tsp. chili powder 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce 1/4 cup. agave syrup 1 can beer (I used Pabst beer) 2/3 cup rice uncooked ------------------------- 8 tortillas shredded cheese ------------------------- 1/4 cup ranch dressing 1/2 cup sour cream Coat crock pot with oil, add London broil and dump everything...
