Left-Over Cheesy Grits Omelet

What do you do with the extra grits sitting in the pot? Don't throw the grits away. Put them in the refrigerator and use for an omelet the next day. Once they get cold and stick together, it's easy to slice, scoop, and use as a filler for a delicious and satisfying omelet. Try it, you just might like it. Hope it becomes a favorite of yours as it is mine.

4 eggs, mixed with 1/4 cup water...beat eggs and water together

Banana Pancakes drizzled with.....

While watching the TODAY SHOW, the cooking secment came on. They were making chocolate and fried banana pancakes. It looked so yummy, that I popped up from bed and decided to make them.
I decided to make mine without the shaved chocolate, and add flax seeds instead. I made a warm caramel and pure maple syrup to drizzle over the pancakes, and topped them with freshly sliced banana and whip cream. Need I say more?

pancake mix
water according to package directions
flax seed....I only used 1/2 tablespoon

bananas sauteed in butter

till their golden brown

when pancake edges begin to look dry, and bubbles appear on top,.......time to flip

in warm skillet
add some pure maple syrup
and caramel dip till......

"I Hungy!"

"Ganny! I hungy! "Baby Girl PLEASE just lay here, watch Dora and let Granny SLEEP!" What Granny wouldn't do for a few more precious hours of beauty sleep! With Granny-Guilt at its peak, I contemplate, to just give her a cookie and quickly retreat to my bed, or do the right thing and fix a healthy breakfast. In a fog, I drag my bod from the warm down comforter, and leopard sheets, while Baby Girl squeals with joy, leaps from bed and flies into the kitchen. Bacon, Ganny, I want bacon! So, the sizzle of bacon, the crack of the eggs and the whistle of the kettle begins..........
