There’s nothing like a good brunch to replace the traditional elevenses, especially when you’ve worked up an appetite during the night before! Here’s one of my favourites recipes for restocking the old energy needs before ‘seconds’
REQUIREMENTS:
Two tablespoons of Mazola Corn Oil One Green Pepper One Red Pepper Seven Sainsburys Thin Pork Sausages (gristle free) Eight spring onions (sorry deano) Eight Plum Tomatoes Four / Five Extra Large Eggs One large frying pan
Ok you’ve guessed it – a lovely mixed omelette that goes down lovely with some freshly squeezed orange, or Tropicana if like me you’re too lazy to squeeze your own!
THE ACTION / FOREPLAY
Sainsburys Thin Pork Sausages are ever so tasty but if you’ve ever tried to grill them you’ll know that they release an awful lot of fat which simply is not good when grilling – the fat splats everywhere and during my past attempts it has set fire to the grill – oh I can still here the smoke alarm ringing now! To combat this I now oven bake them on 180 degrees for ten to fifteen minutes. This still creates the fat problem but it is not so dangerous. Due to the time involved in cooking them the first thing I do is put the sausages in to cook whilst I prepare the rest of the ingredients. I prefer to do this as opposed to frying the sausages as I think they are fatty and unhealthy enough without adding oil to them as well!
Whilst the meat is cooking I take the peppers and cut them into four by slicing from side to side, taking care to avoid the seeds that are attached to those inside stalks. I throw away the head and the tail and then thinly slice the four segments that I have left. To avoid them prodding out of the omelette it is best to slice them to around 8 millimetres thickness (ohhh aren’t I technical, I bet Jamie Oliver doesn’t measure his – Lol –Oops) Then I half the strips, again to make sure they do not protrude!
The spring onions need to be peeled of the dark green stems, and then have the rooty bits at the end cut off. Once again, I slice them finely – probably to about 5 millimetres thickness.
The plum tomatoes are the hardest bit! They go very squidgy unless you have them in the refrigerator before hand. This ensures they are firm and easy to slice. I tend to cut them in to four or five slices.
Next I prepare the eggs – beating them into a yellowy mush with a whisk. At this point you may like to add a little seasoning of salt or pepper.
THE NITTY GRITTY
With the preparation out of the way, I then heat the frying pan with the oil, to ensure that the omelette does not stick or burn against the frying pan surface (I’ve done that before – what a waste!) I have an electric cooker so tend to heat the oil on number 6, turning this down to number four once the sizzling has commenced.
I then toss all of the peppers, onions and tomatoes that I previously prepared into the frying pan. I let them sizzle away until the onions start to loose their firmness. In the interim I remove the sausages from the oven and slice them in to strips of less than a centimetre in width.
Add the sausages to the pan, mix the ingredients so that one half doesn’t just have all the meaty bits and then pour the beaten egg mixture evenly over the top.
Over the coming minutes you’ll find that the egg cooks and firms up quite quickly, so make sure you tip the frying pan onto it’s side to allow the wet moist egg mixture to seep through to the edge and cook too. Otherwise you risk having an overcooked or burnt underside of your omelette with a raw egg top – Ugh!
At this point I now wish I had bought a pancake maker as described in Amanda Jeans opionion, as I would not have to worry about this residue egg mix or fret about tossing the omelette over! I’m sure such a product would make for much better brekkie!
I prefer to have my egg fully cooked, so I ensure that there is no slimy egg around the surface of the food before laying the omelette onto a plate. I always ensure that I slice the omelette on a surface other than my frying pan, as the cut of the knife can degrade the non-stick surfaces that many pots and pans come with these days.
And that’s it! Except ensuring that your orange / tea / coffee is ready, and perhaps have a little memento for your loved one on the tray, so that when you take them breakfast in bead they are impressed and ready for more!
Cost – Varies due to the fact that the sausages, oil, tomatoes and eggs are bought in larger units – expect to pay around £7 for all the ingredients – bear in mind you’ll have loads of the items mentioned above left over.
...years I have tried several recipes for kedgeree but the best without any doubt has to be the one developed and nurtured by my wife.

We have all been in this know the situation..you wake up, it's the weekend, feeling groggy and stomach rumbling. You need grease, you need filling up...you need a fry-up! This "fry-up" is for those of us who are veggie, trying to be a bit healthy or just someone wanting something different.

If you are trying to diet, this will be the time when ... ...is a healthy (well, healthier than your average fry up) breakfast suitable for vegetarians too. *** Especially suited for late Sunday mornings (if you're like me, it will be more like mid-Sunday afternoon!) after a hard night of partying/drinking/eating/slobbing (delete as appropriate). *** *** Best when...cooked by someone else such as boyfriend/ husband..cooked with love (but make sure he knows what he's doing!)..and it means you don't have to ...

Advantages: A substantial breakfast with less effort than you might think! Disadvantages: Don't even start to count the calories!
Whenever I’ve got a house full for breakfast it always involves a lot of men and a visit to any one of (a) a football match, (b) a golf course or (c) a race course. I’m frowned on because I can’t see that what’s being done is hard, necessary work and not frivolous enjoyment. Whatever it is though, it always requires a substantial breakfast to start the proceedings. It’s a Man-Thing, you see.
I’m not keen on spending too long in the kitchen preparing ... ...the night before (or even ages before where possible!) and with a Man-Thing Breakfast that’s quite simple to do.
To start with, supply a large bowl of fruit. I usually prepare this the night before, as it gives the flavour time to develop. Do remember to take it out of the fridge half an hour before it’s served so that it has time to come up to room temperature. Fruit straight from the fridge tastes of very little and it’s a great pity to waste ...

Advantages: A wonderful dish for your fresh berries Disadvantages: They will make you chubby
A few years back I had a side business in which I built websites for small businesses. One of the niche markets that I targeted were the bed and breakfasts here in Texas. Most bed and breakfasts are contained in old homes called Sunday Houses. These homes were built by rural landowners so that they would have a place to stay when they came into town for church on Sunday.
The town of Fredericksburg, Texas is where many of my German descendants first ... ...charming shops, restaurants and bed and breakfasts that make weekend retreats to this town a special treasure. Many of the people that I built websites for did not have the money to pay me in cash so I would often trade out weekends stays. One of these houses that I built a site for is Das Garten Haus (www.dasgartenhaus.com). Though I would consider the house unremarkable as it is only sixty years old, the owners are lovely and the breakfasts that ...

OLDCHEM'S MONSTER COOKIE
Anyone who has had anything to do with Weight Watchers or been on the WW Message Boards - especially the No Count/ Core may well have heard of my
"MONSTER COOKIE".
This was a recipe designed as an alternative 'on the go' breakfast and is featured on my website.
It is very big and filling ( in fact I find that it makes two good sized cookies) and also contains 14 grams of protein. It can be made in advance simple to pick up and take with you to work.
I also divide the mixture into 8 to make smaller cookies for with meals.
If you are following WW No Count/Core/Simply Filling the cookie/s is/are free with meals, if not the full recipe is 7 points.
