Breakfast Pie


I'm so honored because I received the Operation Beautiful Award from Lizzie.


She's a wonderful new blogger so go check her out! :)  Thanks, Lizzie! <3

This is what you have to do:


-Write 3 things you like about your looks.
1. I like my face.
2. I like my hair.
3. I like my nails.

-Write 3 things you appreciate about your personality.
1. I like that I'm honest.
2. I like that I can (sometimes ;)) make people laugh.
3. I like that I would be willing to help anybody out that needed it.

-Write about something you find beautiful in other people.
I love when people are caring and compassionate.  I think that anybody can be beautiful as long as they're pretty on the inside.

-Award as many other people as you like and let them know!
Oh gosh, there are too many people that I want to give this to!
How about if you're reading this, you can do it on your blog and say it's from me! :)  You're all deserving of it.

In other news, I made a breakfast pie.

Kellen hates pie.  Somehow we got to talking about whether or not he would like a savory pie and he said he didn't know.  So... I made one.  And it was delicious!!

Breakfast Pie

Ingredients:
1 unbaked pie shell
4 sausage patties
4 eggs
1 potato
3/4 cup cheese
Seasoned salt to taste

Topping (optional... I kind of thought it was too much with the crust):
1 cup all-purpose flour1 teaspoons baking powder1/8 teaspoons salt4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 12 pieces1 tbs milk or buttermilk

Directions:
1.  Peel potato and cut into small pieces.
2.  Boil potato until it starts to get soft, but not completely cooked.  Set aside.
3.  Cut up sausage patties and microwave for 1 minute, or until warm, but not completely cooked.
4.  In a saucepan, combine potatoes, sausage, and eggs.  Keep stirring on stove for about 1 minute.
5.  Layer pie shell with the 3/4 cup cheese and potato, sausage, and egg mixture.  Salt to taste.
6. *Optional: Mix first 3 ingredients in a small bowl.  Cut in butter with a pastry cutter until it forms small crumbs.  Add milk.
7.  Layer topping over the pie.
8.  Bake 30-40 minutes or until edges are golden brown.

    Guest Post: Versatile Oats

    Thanks so much to Jenny for doing this blog post for me!  She's wonderful and has a great blog so be sure to check her out!  I don't know what I'd do without my wonderful blogging friends.  Xoxo! :) 


    --------------------------------------------

    Hey everyone I'm Jenny and I blog over at Fit Girl Foodie. Just wanted to start off saying a great big thanks to Katie for letting me do a guest post on her blog while she's away Smile. If anyone has some serious baking skills it's her.

    I'm not going to lie, when Katie asked me to do a guest post I had no idea what I was going to write. I'm not a baker nor have I made anything blog worthy. But if there's one thing I'm good at is making some serious morning oats.

    I was a cereal junkie all my life and no not eating Kashi and Puffins. I ate Lucky Charms, Cookie Crisp, Captain Crunch and the likes. My first oatmeal experience was good but not mind boggling.

    My rookie days

    I don't know about you but not exactly pretty now is it?

    Fast forward a few months and we have this
    Pumpkin Pie Oats
    Now we're on to something Winking smile
    Bananas more your taste?
    Topped with more banana, peanuts, granola, and cinnamon raisin pb

    What about banana and chocolate?



    Topped with chia seeds, peanuts, graham crackers, chocolate morsels and a spoonful of cinnamon raisin pb



    Or with Jam?


    The options are virtually limitless
    Who says oatmeal has to be boring? Winking smile

    NYC Trip/ Fig and Blueberry Scones


    Wow wow wow!!!

    I'm feeling a little overwhelmed about writing this post, so if it's scattered, bear with me!

    I just got back from New York and it was amazing.  We had great food, awesome entertainment, and wonderful hosts.  I am so bummed to be home; school, work, and exercise just don't compare.  Back to reality it is.... but I don't like reality, so I'm going to relive our trip in this post with pictures.

    Also, a HUGEEEEE thanks to Alyssa for doing a guest post for me.  I hope you all made her yummy balls (ha ha ha).  They're next on my to-do list.

    You should all go enter in this amazing giveaway, by the way!

    New York: Spring Break '11


    View from Central Park... It was a pretty chilly.  I hate cold weather, but I would take it right now!


    Kellen and his bro, Stuart on the subway.  I llooovveed the subway.  Freak? Maybe..



    We had a pastrami sandwich at Kat'z.  It was so, so good.  I wish I would've taken pictures of all the food we ate.



    Beautiful St. Patrick's  Cathedral.


    So. Much. Walking...


    In awe of the gorgeous church.




    My silly boyfriend...


    ...posing.  What's new?





    Taking a little photo shoot break.


    View from the Brooklyn Bridge.  We walked all the way across.  So many lights!




    Still loving the subway.


    Times Square!



    Checkin' out the sky from the Museum of Modern Art.






    Haha!



    Kellen could not get enough sushi.  I'm pretty sure we ate it 3 times... and then had it for dinner the day we got home. Ridiculous.





    Yumm... Donut Plant donuts.


    The Met!!  So awesome.











    Watching "Newsical the Musical".  It was hilarious!!!  If you go to New York, I definitely recommend going to see it.  I laughed all the way through.



    Bye, New York... :(

    Well, there's our trip in a nutshell.  I wish I would have documented more, but it's probably a good thing I didn't, considering that this post already has about 50 pictures.

    ------------

    When I got home, I had a nice surprise waiting for me.   I'm going to leave you with these Blueberry and Fig Scones from the Green Market Baking Book that I wrote about last week and I'll let you figure out what the surprise was.  ;)

    By the way, the book is now half off at Amazon if you click on this link.  I suggest you buy the book and make these scones because they are seriously tasty.  The outside has a nice crunch to it and the inside is soft and fluffy.  Also, I never realized how easy it is to make scones.  I was always too intimidated to make them before because they seemed like a daunting task.  Not even!!  I was unsure about the fig and blueberry combination, but it's to die for.  For real.  If you buy the book, the recipe is on page 96.














    Any guesses as to what my surprise was? :)
