Worchestershire Chive Butter (for Steaks)

This is really nice to top a steak with while cooking. Not exactly low-cal. though.

1 tbsp. worchestershire sauce
1 tbsp. dry mustard
7 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. chives
salt & pepper to taste

Combine butter, sauce, mustard and chives with fork. Season with salt and pepper. On a piece of plastic wrap, form butter into a log. Roll up and refrigerate until firm.

Grilled Bread with Tomato Tapa

Whenever I travel, instead of buying T-shirts as a rememberance, I buy cookbooks. This is one from a Tapa's book I bought in Spain.

6 thick slices French bread
3 fresh tomatoes
salt
Extra-virgin olive oil

Grill or toast the bread until golden brown. Cut the tomatoes in half. Rub one tomato half over each slice of bread, making sure some of the pulp remains on the bread. Sprinkle some salt and drizzle oil over each slice. Serve.

Enjoy,

Skillet Breakfast

A few years ago I stopped eating bread products and grains due to stomach problems. It was pretty hard to come up with alternatives for breakfast, but this is one I came up with and it turned out really well.

There is no set amount of any of the ingredients, just make as much as you want to eat.

red pepper, cubed
green pepper, cubed
onion, cubed
your favorite breakfast sausage (I use Mitchell's), cubed
cheddar slice (or any cheese that melts nicely)
margarine

In a pan over med-high heat, melt margarine. Add sausage and onion. Fry until slightly browned. Add peppers. Cook until peppers brown, lower heat to low, tear cheddar slice into pieces and place on top of the meat & veggies. Cover, cook until cheese melts. Remove from heat and serve.

Enjoy,
