smokin' salmon cream cheese roll up

It's been a while since my last post, but hey - I completed one of my resolutions! Jeff and I got married on March 10th, and just got back from our honeymoon last Saturday. Needless to say, the last month has been quite busy, so I'm trying to get back in the swing of things here.

The next recipe from the Hungry Girl cookbook was the "smokin' salmon cream cheese roll up." I actually made this one quite a while ago, but forgot to write about it...oops! This one was actually really tasty. My only complaints were that the fat-free cream cheese had a strange texture, and smoked salmon is freakin' expensive. I might make this one again, but definitely not very often.

Next up is an oatmeal recipe. I have all the ingredients for it, but we got a blender as a wedding gift and I've been making smoothies lately so it may be a while before I get around to the oatmeal.

super-duper veggie scramble

This is the next recipe from Hungry Girl. This one was goooood and giant! I think I like this one better than the breakfast burrito. I may have put more vegetables in than the recipe called for since I didn't really measure, but I figure more veggies can't hurt! The one thing I need to get used to is adding some seasoning to these recipes, my first try always comes out bland. I think I've gotten the hang of cooking the fake eggs too, no more watery mess!

This morning, since we don't have any of the ingredients left except the veggie patty, I made the veggie patty with a fried egg on top. I'm sure it wasn't as healthy as the original recipe, but it made a pretty good breakfast too!

Next up is a smoked salmon scramble. I love salmon so I'm already drooling over that one.

Breakfast biurrito

First up from the Hungry Girl cookbook was the "yumtastic breakfast burrito". I already had to make a substitution here - regular bacon instead of turkey bacon - because the turkey bacon I bought the other day at the store has mysteriously disappeared. I'm hoping I just didn't end up getting it...otherwise it's been sitting in Jeff's car for a few days.

I was pretty pleased with this recipe, but next time I will definitely make a few changes. I will NOT be using American cheese again (I'll try to use up what we have, but after that, no more!). I really didn't think it would make much of a difference but I could definitely taste it, and I still don't like it. I was a little skeptical about the egg substitute, as this was my first time working with it. I like it though, and I had a realization...is this what restaurants use??? I've never been able to make scrambled eggs that look like the ones you get at restaurants, but these actually did! Next time I need to remember to add some salt and pepper, and even though they looked like they were cooked, I think they needed to go a little longer because my burrito turned out a bit liquidy...

Overall though, I would definitely make this recipe again. It was indeed yumtastic, and although it looked kind of small, it was surprisingly filling!
