Spinach scramble

I know sounds gross right? It's not!! It's easy yummy and packed full of yummy nutrients. If you are dieting just use 1 full egg and about 6 egg whites. One yolk will boost your protein.

7 eggs
Small bag of frozen spinach
Butter, to taste
Pinch of salt
1 tsp pepper

Beat the eggs salt and pepper together. Empty the frozen spinach into a large pan. When it's almost fully defrosted add the eggs. And just cook the rest of the way through. My kids love this!
You can add tomatoes, avocado, onion or garlic more salt whatever and it's delicious. Also really yummy if you substitute the salt and pepper for half a ranch packet mmm.
Enjoy!

Sorry I haven't been in much lately I am trying to learn to manage my time with food, photography, at home business, and now with possibly going to school!! Bear with me!!

I did make some biscuit wrapped turkey dogs! Yummy. Either use homemade biscuit batter or cheap store bought. You can put a slice of cheese in with the dog or pepperoni or salami, sauerkraut or whatever you like. And since my oven was being cleaned I used the frying pan and grape seed oil and cooked over medium heat until "puffy" an lighty browned was soo good!

Hope you all had a wonderful fourth of July!!!

How is everyone?

I have been really busy with my new at home business. I am very sorry I haven't been on in a while[(*t*)] how is everyone? Today was a very simple little thing. I didn't have time to cook much and after seeing "I like to bake and cook"'s post with the pepperoni rolls I decided to go buy some turkey dogs ( no nitrates or added nitrates with oscar myer) and wrap them in biscuit dough. Very typical but I cooked them over medium low with grape sees oil! Yummy!! And steamed veggies. Very quick and tasty!

MIA

Sorry about being so gone lately I am working on a few things and trying to gather and sort recipes as to what's on here what's on Facebook and making sure both have everything on it. Along with starting a new blog and a new business venture.
I will share the new blog once I have completed it. :)

Buttermilk pie with blackberry glaze

Buttermilk Pie

1/2 cup butter, salted, softened
2 cups white sugar
3 tablespoons self-rising flour
3 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
3 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9 inch) deep dish pie crust
( or crush up vanilla wafers, about 2 cups of the cookies, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Put the crumbs in pie dish and pour butter over, toss around to coat. Press around bottom of pan, I use a wad of plastic wrap so it doesn't stick to me. It's ready to use)

Cream the butter an sugar together. Add the vanilla and flour. Mix well again and beat in eggs one at a time. Add buttermilk ( make sure to shake buttmilk before pouring so you get all flavor and not the clearish stuff)
Pour into pie crust bake at 400 for 10 min. Reduce heat to 325 and continue baking for 50 min. If the crust begins to burn put foil over it.
You can replace sugar with agave if wanted. This tastes wonderful with almond extract instead of vanilla as well. Especially when topped with strawberry almond glaze. Making my mouth water right now!

Blackberry Glaze to coat

1 small bag of frozen blackberries
3/4 cups of sugar
2 tablespoons of cornstarch
2 tablespoons of lemon juice (try not to skip this, flavor difference is pretty big if you don't add. Really makes the berries taste fresh and not frozen)

While you are cooking the pie, in a large bowl combine the sugar and berries. Let sit for 10 min. In a saucepan pour the sugar and berries into it, over medium heat get the berries melted and continue to stir so it doesn't burn. Mix in the cornstarch and lemon juice. Raise the heat a little and stir frequently, continue to cook unil it's bubbling but not boiling and the sauce looks more like a gelatin than the purple color, it will be more of a clear dark purple. Once it really starts to stick remove from heat. I time this to where there is only 5 min left of cooking time for the pie, and I scoop out the glaze and put on the pie and continue to cook for last 5 min.

Remove the pie from heat and let completely cool. I DO NOT reccomend eating hot, it's a custard it tastes much better cold, like pumpkin pie is better cold. This is delicious with my homemade whipped cream, under all recipes on my ReelScrumptious blog.
