Breakfast experiments!

When I married my hubby, I am pretty sure that he had never even made himself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! His mom hates mess... and found it easier to spoil her only son than to have him make a mess in her kitchen. I am a messy cook. That is not to say that my kitchen is dirty, but when I am cooking, things spill and get messy! That is part of the fun of cooking, baking and creating!

My kids love to go out to breakfast. Right now one of our favorite places to go is a pancake house that makes those BIG apple pancakes. They always split one with a side of ice cream. Then my daughter who really loves to eat, shares my mushroom omelet too! Our experiment this morning was to try and recreate their mushroom omelet... It wasn't perfect, but we are very close! We went with simplicity today, using canned mushrooms and canned soup. At the restaurant there is this delicious sauce with mushrooms, and a hint of sherry. Today we made it using cream of mushroom soup, a touch of sherry, milk and some cheddar cheese. I think when they are off to school this week, I will attempt to make a homemade sauce and see if it comes closer with some fresh mushrooms. It was fun and tasted pretty darn good! I'll let you know when it is up to par! Have fun experimenting!!!!
