Just made this last night! I don’t like mushrooms so I substituted bell peppers...and gosh, it was amazing! So delicious! LOVE the idea of pasta without tomato sauce! Had it with a sweet-ish white wine and homemade ice cream for dessert - perfect! Also, it looked SO beautiful...orange butternut squash, red peppers....pretty!

This article made me want to someday have a cow on our farm, allowed to live and mother naturally. In the mean time, it made me want to try to patronize farms that treat their cows like this. But they are so few and far between...=/

This omelette consists of way more filling than egg - just the way I like it! I make it for my boyfriend and I when we want a “breakfast for dinner” style evening - complete with a Netflix movie streamed live from the XBOX360. (I recommend Primer!)
You will need:
-4 or 5 fingerling potatoes, sliced into thin rounds
-4 smallish red or orange bell peppers, cut into approx. 1/2 square inch chunks
-1 giant sweet purple onion, diced
-6 large-ish eggs, beaten in a bowl
-Half a stick of butter (approx. 4 Tablespoons)
-Salt and pepper, to taste
-Hot Sauce...if you’re one of THOSE people
Melt the butter in a LARGE, high rimmed non-stick pan. Throw in the thin fingerling slices and the diced onion. Let cook on medium heat for about 15-20 minutes until browned and soft, stirring and flipping regularly with a spatula. Add the bell pepper chunks, cook for 5 minutes. Then add the eggs and stir vigorously as the egg coagulates and solidifies. It will not hold together like an omelette - it has too much yummy in it. Split onto two plates and season. OM NOM NOM.
Note: You can add diced fresh spinach to this, if your boyfriend is not morally opposed (like mine). Just chop a cup up into small chunks and add it to the beaten eggs in the beginning. It will be delicious!
