Above is just another photo from the flower show....spring is coming!
Recently I came home from my Zumba class and needed to whip up something for myself for dinner. I'm amazed at how easily one can use leftovers from the refrigerator to make a dinner in a cast iron skillet. I previously made an omelette for one person with the 6" skillet (see post of 12/19/2010), and the other night I made this for myself in the 8" skillet:
Easy Skillet Dinner for One (using leftovers)
I heated up a tablespoon of lemon-pepper flavored olive oil,
added 1/3 of a red onion, chopped,
3/4 cup of cooked green beans, and
2 slices of deli ham, torn into pieces.
I sauteed that together a bit, then
put on a sprinkling of garlic-pepper seasoning
(but I probably didn't need it due to the flavored oil I used...).
I beat up one egg with a Tbs of water
and put that in to cook.
It didn't make an omelette, it just coated the mixture somewhat.
(No, I wasn't looking for an omelette's effect....)
I sprinkled it all with parmesan to serve.
(I obviously have some Italian roots....)
When hubby came home, I told him,
"You missed a great dinner!"
(even though I probably wouldn't have made it if I was cooking for both of us....).
Hmmm....although it would be easy to double a recipe like this and use a larger skillet....
