Egg Cups

Another alternative for morning breakfast was inspired by Food Network Melissa D'Arabian. She did a heuvos rancheros inside with salsa. I decided to do cheese omelet. By scrambling the egg with chopped ham and turkey, cheese and minced onion.  It was so much fun for morning breakfast and it was a great snack with some other filling. I did a pizza cup with pepperoni, cheese, and sausage for a kiddies snack. But the possiblilities are endless since you're just stuffing whatever you like.
To make the cups:
1 muffin tin, you can also you Texas style muffins tins.
some melted butter
Flour tortillas
a pinch of salt (optional)
1. Butter the tin all around, and add a pinch of salt all around as well.
2. Stuff tortilla, til it forms a cup.
3. Bake in oven for 8-10mins on 350F.
Tip: If you're using egg or other saucey liquids a minute or two wouldn't matter.

Kabobs!


Kabobs are so easy to do whether you have a Foreman or not, simple, fast and delicious.
I started off with making some House Seasoning for this marinade. (I.e., Garlic Powder, Salt, Pepper)

Supplies:
1-1.5LB of thin sliced/cut grilling meat, I used Carne Asada.
House Seasonings
Bell Peppers: Red, Yellow Green
Red Onions/Purple Onions
Skewers
Water.

1. Soak skewers in water for about 30 minutes. It will help take the wood pieces off and also prevent them for burning on the grill or skillet.

2. Cut meat into long strips, Marinate with house seasoning for 20 minutes.
3. After meat is ready, accordian fold and alternate using onions and peppers.

4. Grill 2-4 minutes on each side depending on your meat preference, for the skillet, use a lid to insulated meat and it comes out evenly cooked, but watch your time it can be overcooked.

My wRapping Bird Burger

Turkey Burgers Wrapped in Bacon
Turkey Meat can easily become dry, in order to retain its moisture we're wrapping it in bacon! Mm...sounds good right? My easy recipes makes its fast, easy, and delighful!

2-2 1/2 lbs of Turkey Meat
1 pack of Bacon *your choice*
1/2 cup of onion minced or chopped
1 cup of seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup of water
3 Tablespoons of Parm cheese grated
1-2 Tablespoons of poltury seasonings
1 1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic pepper
salt & pepper to taste
1 egg
Feta cheese *optional for stuffing inside*

1. Take All ingredients and mix together (no egg) in a small bowl. In another bowl, drop turkey meat and fork around. Drop ingredients and egg into bowl and fork until everything is mixed together. Let it stand for 10 mins.  This will create a small marniate time for that poltury seasoning to marry with all the flavors.

2. Take the meat and make round patties, remembering that the meat will shrink 1/3 of it's size.

3. To wrap bacon on burgers, take the thin side of the bacon strip hold snug and wrapped around. Place the wrapped burger will ends on grill first to it will secure bacon on your burger.

4. Grill on a Foreman or regular grill for 7-8 minutes, flipping once in between.

5. Add all your garnishes and you're ready to eat! Enjoy
