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

Entree: Spicy Shrimp over Watermelon & Cucumber Salad

This is a multi-step meal, but actually pretty easy to make. If you want to, you can grill the watermelon slices too-brush lightly with oil and grill about 2 minutes per side. Spicy Shrimp over Watermelon & Cucumber Salad First, preheat grill over high. If using wooden skewers, soak in water. Quick-Pickled Sweet Onions 1 large sweet onion (such as Vidalia), very thinly sliced into rings 3/4 cup white wine or rice vinegar 2 teaspoons salt 3 tablespoons sugar 1 cup hot water Put onions in a 1-quart jar or glass container. Whisk together the vinegar, salt, and sugar into the hot water until sugar/salt dissolves. Pour vinegar mixture over the onions, make sure all onion slices are submerged, and cover jar tightly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes (will keep for up to 1 week in the refrigerator).

Salad: Italian Tossed Salad

Make the dressing at least an hour ahead of time; but it keeps in the fridge for at least a week. It tastes better to make it ahead of time anyway; if the oil/vinegar separates after sitting in the fridge for a day or two, just shake thoroughly again until blended. Perfect with lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, or other pasta/Italian dishes. Of course, you can use store-bought dressing instead, but this is very easy to make; don’t be intimidated by the long list of ingredients in the dressing; they are mostly spices. Italian Tossed Salad 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 garlic clove, minced very finely ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon sugar ¼ teaspoon onion powder ¼ teaspoon dried oregano ¼ teaspoon ground mustard ¼ teaspoon paprika Dash dried thyme 8 cups prepared salad greens (mix of Romaine, leaf lettuce & arugula) 1 cucumber, diced 1 cup diced fresh tomatoes 1 carrot, grated Mix all ingredients exce...
