Breakfast: Wild Rice, Sausage & Mushroom Omelet

Wild Rice, Sausage & Mushroom Omelet

1/2 pound bulk turkey sausage
1 medium onion, chopped
1 celery rib, finely chopped
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
8 oz. fresh mushrooms, cleaned & sliced
1-1/2 cups cooked wild rice
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
14 eggs
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Preheat oven to “warm” setting (less than 200 degrees).
Cook sausage in a large skillet, over medium heat, until no longer pink; drain. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, saute the mushrooms, onion and celery until tender. Stir in the sausage, rice and parsley.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs, water, salt and pepper. Heat an 8-in. nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup egg mixture. As eggs set, lift edges, letting uncooked portion flow underneath. When nearly set, spoon 1/2 cup of sausage-rice mixture over one side of eggs; fold in half and press down lightly for about 30 seconds. Remove and keep warm in the preheated warm oven. Repeat to make 5-7 more omelets.
Garnish omelets with parsley if desired.

Serves 6-8

Traditionally, these are made with lard rather than butter, and are derived from a traditional Latin American Christmas cookie (but are delicious anytime of the year!).

Dessert: Chocolate Cherry Pie

For the recipe card giveaway, you can email your "snail mail" address to me at (disguised to keep the robots from collecting, lol!): andreaharper79 AT yahoo DOT com The recipe for today is my son’s favorite pie. I’ve been making this pie for over 15 years, and it turns out wonderful every time. You can substitute a 21 oz. can of cherry pie filling, if you like-I think it’s too sweet like that, but it is a little easier. Don't be intimidated by the length of the recipe-it really is easy, just several steps, and the result is definitely worth it! Serve warm, chilled, plain, or with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Chocolate Cherry Pie 4 tablespoons butter 2/3 cup sugar 1/3 cup baking cocoa 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/3 cup milk 2 eggs, lightly beaten 24-26 oz. jar Morello or regular cherries, in light syrup (Trader Joe’s sells them) 1 prepared pie crust (I buy mine) or unbaked pastry shell (9 inches) 2 tablespoons cornstarch ...
