Scrambled Leftovers?

No, I haven't gotten to the grocery store yet. Yes, it's been a hectic sort of week, and tomorrow night will yet again be food shopping night. I had to get really creative with tonight's meal because I'm really running on empty over here. I found the perfect amount of eggs for the two of us though, so I pulled a whole bunch  of random ingredients out of the fridge and got to concocting!

I found a spicy pepper, a red bell pepper, some grated cheese, prosciutto, a little bit of spinach and some chives. I chopped them all up, heated them with a little bit of butter and started scrambling some eggs. Once the eggs were almost done, I threw all of my add-ons into the mix, sprinkled with cheese and tossed it all together.

Served with a green salad, it makes for a very filling dinner that also uses up those ingredients that are left over in the fridge, right before a trip to the grocery store. And with that, I bid you adieu - until I have a fridge full of crisp veggies and fresh-cut meats!

An Entertaining Staple

Whenever I'm having people over, the first thing I do is go to the grocery store. I want to make sure I have things on hand for my guests! I've usually planned out a meal ahead of time anyway, but what about that in-between time, while dinner is cooking, and we're catching up in the living room? That's why the first things I grab when I go to the store are 3 kinds of cheese, and crackers. I get creative with the cheeses I choose, but the cracker...that's where I don't waver.

34 Degrees Crispbreads are the perfect cracker for entertaining. They come in a ton of flavors that go with all sorts of cheeses and even taste delicious all on their own. Each variety of crispbread is packed with flavor, but has minimal ingredients, making them all-natural! There are six types: Cracked Pepper, Rosemary, Lemon Zest, Natural, Sesame and Whole Grain. The first three in this list are my favorites! The Lemon Zest crispbreads are especially good with a nice, fresh goat cheese, and the Cracked Pepper ones add a lovely bite to a mild Brie.

You can find 34 Degrees Crispbreads at Whole Foods, but you can also find them online at amazon.com. Wow your guests next time you have a dinner party with a cheese platter and some deliciously different crackers...or should I say, crispbreads!

I'm not getting anything to write this blatant plug for a product. However, when I love a product, I want to share it with people! A good product deserves to succeed, and this is one of them!
