Oatmeal Omelet

photo by Suzzycue Good Morning Foodies: I have a recipe, I cannot get enough of ,that , I want to share with you. I have been trying to only eat my three meals a day and failing miserably until I tried hot oatmeal. Hot oatmeal will help reduce your appetite better than the same amount of cold cereal. The problem was... I really don`t like the taste of oatmeal, made with water, because I cannot digest too much milk. I then came up with this recipe and I love it :) It taste great and I noticed I was not hungry for a longer period of time enabling me to make it until dinner time without caving in. Also adding the egg gives you more protein for your day. #Oatmeal Omelet - I make: 1 cup of quick oatmeal oats( cooks in 1 1/2 minutes in microwave), cover with water in a bowl, dab of butter or olive oil, crack an egg on top, s/p or any spices you like. Then stir it all up making sure the egg yoke is well broken. Put it into the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes take it out stir and back in for one more minute to make sure the egg is cooked. I put parmesan cheese on top and it is Sooo Goood :) Foodies if you love oatmeal , you will love this :) Food TIP: You can put in whatever foods you like examples tomato, mushrooms, onions, and get creative. Let me know what( You invented) so I can try it too :) Have a great day. Here is another interesting omelet to try if you wish

Chistmas In July

We went camping at Windmill Campground. It was Christmas in July and guess who was hogging the out-house. You guess it Santa Claus. He must have been hot it was 30 degrees out over 100 degrees if you are over sixty years old LOL . It was a very fun weekend in a tent. The swimming pool was well received all day and Christmas dinner was awesome at 5$ a plate.

Frugal Planting Tip for Tomato Plants

This is the neatest planting tip, to save your back from breaking, every time you dig a hole for planting your tomato plants, that I have ever seen. It is a four foot threaded rod, with a tin, tomato size can, attached to it, by a bolt. The bottom of the can was removed to allow dirt to enter to create the hole. One third of the top was removed to knock the dirt out when you need to empty it. My neighbor invented this to plant his forty patio, bush tomato plants in no time at all. This device doesn't work right now because our ground is like cement because we have had very little rain where we are in Ontario. To make it work well... you would need to wet the area you were going to plant so as not to bust your new planting device, when you stepped on it with your foot to sink it into the ground. Thanks for reading and DIY, build a tomato planter :)

Walk With Me Lake Victoria Stratford

This is Stratford Ontario at it's best. Come visit and see for yourself . This is a great day tripping vacation. This walk around Lake Victoria (Avon River to me) is not wheelchair accessible so I made this so all Folks can enjoy it. Including the Folks that would be challenged to do this walk. Thanks for watching !

Ice Fan

How many of you have sit in front of a fan to cool off and ended up hotter because the fan is blowing hot air at you? I am in the same boat and I live on a budget that doesn't include too much air conditioning. What I do, is, to place, a plate of ice cubes in front of my fan. Then, the fan blows over the ice cooling the air, before it gets to you. This really works and cost no more than running a fan. When the ice melts, I place the water on my arms and wrists and this will cool you down too. A good trick to this #life-hack, would be to put water in a zip-lock bag or plastic container, freeze those to make a bigger, harder ice block that would melt slower, so, You wouldn't miss your movie filling up your plate with ice cubes all the time. The last trick is to put salt on your ice. It melds the ice- cubes together to last longer. I use salt on my ice when camping and it does make the ice in your cooler last longer :) Thanks for reading and stay cool my friends :)

Tater tots and Egg Breakfast Recipe

Tatter tots were invented in 1953. Tater tots means small potato with February 2nd (ground-hog day to me) is Nation #Tater-tot Day, but, I had left over tater tots from last nights( fish and chips dinner) and needed a hack for them. So I put olive oil in the cast iron frying pan, made a circle with the tots, cracked an egg inside the circle to contain it. When the egg was half done I flipped it all over because I like my eggs that way :) (over-easy)

Then I melted Monterey-Jack cheese with jalapeno on the top. You could use the cheese you like or leave it off. It would be crispy and delicious either way. Give this a try... a real cheap and cheerful Breakfast. If You have a big family give this quick, easy recipe for a lazy Sunday Morning Brunch :) You will love it!
