Crock Pot Eggs Florentine

Posted by Solitary Dancer on December 23, 2010

I haven’t tried this but it’s on my list of things to cook for the New Year.  :-)

Eggs Florentine in the Crock Pot. 

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 10 ounces frozen,chopped spinach (make sure it is thawed and drained.
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion (I will probably use way less.  I don’t like a lot of onion taste in egg dishes)
  • 6 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (I will probably omit this. I think it might overpower the dish)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:

  1. Spray the crock pot with nonstick cooking spray
  2. Spread 1 cup of the cheese on the bottom of the crock pot
  3. Then layer the spinach, mushrooms and onions
  4. In a bowl, combine the eggs, cream, and seasonings (mix well)
  5. Pour the mixture in to the crock pot (Pour slowly)
  6. Top with the remaining 1 cup of cheese
  7. Set Crock Pot to High and cook for 2 hours or until the center is set.

The original recipe says there are 10 CHO – 4G Fiber = 6 Net Carbs per serving.  The recipe makes 4 servings.

If this turns out good I will probably make a double batch and use it for breakfast the entire week. I don’t think I will cook a doubled recipe. Might not come out so well.  Since it only takes two hours to cook I can cook two separate batches.

Revival

Posted by Solitary Dancer on December 14, 2010

I’m getting ready to make a come back.  I’ve been off track for so long I’m disgusted and I’m ready for a change.  I can’t promise the revival will happen before the holidays.  But, I promise that by the first of the year I will be on my plan and well on my way to sharing more recipes.

It’s amazing what carbs do to a body.  I’m hear to say it’s not a good thing.  I’m on cholesterol meds and blood pressure meds for the first time in my life.  I have added way to many pounds while not eating very much.  But, what I was eating was carbs.

So, the proof that carbs are bad are right in my mirror.  I’m done and it’s time to get serious.  Stay tuned for more recipes and what not.

Cheers!
