WORKS FOR ME WEDNESDAY!!!

Shannon over at Rocks in my Dryer, had a great idea. She came up with this new feature where every wednesday we post what works for us. This is what she said:

You know how it is--we all have come up with dozens of little shortcuts or ideas around our homes to make managing our lives easier. Maybe you came up with such an idea yourself in a moment of desperation, or you learned it from your mom or another friend...it doesn't matter how it came about. What matters it that your life runs the tiniest bit more smoothly because of your clever idea.

So I thought I would chime in with my own tips or trick or whatever you want to call it. LOL

I learnt this one a while ago and I have to admit that I still use it to this day, not just for myself but especially when you have friends or family over.
It's a shortcut to a dish that we always like making but takes too much time to prepare, and let me tell you it's a real life saver when you need to make a few at time.

So here goes:

OMELETS IN THE BAG

Have everyone write their name on a quart-size, zip-lock freezer bag with permanent marker.

Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into each bag (not more than 2 eggs) and shake to combine them.

Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc.

Each member adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shakes; make sure the air is out of the bag and the bag is well-zipped.

Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes.
You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.

Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed.

It's really been a huge help on those crazy busy mornings, and just wonderful when you have a lot of family over for holidays or special occasions.
I sometimes make myself an omelet for lunch and this is a quick and easy way too.
Go ahead, give it a try and let me know what you think. :)
