Fish Family Favorites: Random Stuff

by Stefanie

Egg sandwiches with leeks, greens, and sometimes turkey sausage or gluten

sausage on an Orowheat 100% whole wheat, 100 calorie sandwich thin. Wow! That's a long name for a sandwich. We crave these at our house. Here's how to make your own:

Saute finely chopped leeks in coconut oil.

(*Note: Leeks and coconut oil are among our favorite things! Leeks are a mild onion that are a lot easier to cut than a regular onion. Cut off the ends; slice it length-wise; run it under water to wash out the grit; then slice it up! Coconut oil is amazing for many reasons. I can't list them all here, but check out The Coconut Oil Miracle by Bruce Fife as well as www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com for the best price on the highest quality.)

Add some fresh or frozen chopped greens of your choice. (We like beet greens, collards, swiss chard, or kale). The water from them being washed or frozen should be enough to steam them and cook them down a bit. If not, add a tablespoon or so.

At this point you can add some sausage or bacon, but it's not necessary.

When the greens are cooked down, add some eggs and scramble everything together.

Serve on bread with mustard and Veganaise (another one of our favorite things for a more healthful alternative to mayo. I feel like the yellow label is the best).

Enjoy!

InstaHot. I don't know if that's it's real name, but magically out of this little faucet at my kitchen sink comes boiling hot water. It's incredibly useful and time saving: like when you need a quick cup of hot chocolate or herbal tea; like when you are canning and need to put the lids in boiling water first; like when you need to sterilize something fast--you get the picture. I use this multiple times a day. It's a must. Call your favorite plumber and get one installed today.

Hydrangeas. I picked these hydrangeas from my yard in September. I think they are going on 5 or 6 weeks now. I've changed the water twice and re-cut their stems once. Now, what fresh flower arrangement can compete with that?? I see the carnations lining up--but seriously, I'll I can say is "Wow, you make me happy!" every time I walk in that room. Come spring, pick yourself up some Endless Summer variety and plant them in your yard.

Colored eggs. Yes, these are the very eggs that go into our egg sandwiches, and yes, I raise chickens too. These colored eggs are a delight to behold and just as fun as playing "Colored Eggs" when I was a kid. Remember that game? Anyway, again, come spring, get yourself some cute chicks that will eventually produce these amazing eggs.
