We have reached the end

Stay at Home Moms are some of the busiest women on the planet.  We are chefs, childcare providers, doctors, cheaufers, maids, and so much more.  As SAHM of Etsy we get to add shop owners to our list.  With such busy lives we often have to be very selective of what we choose to add to our plates.  With very careful though and consideration, we have decided to remove this blog from our list of responsibilities.

I'd like to thank everyone that helped me with this.  It was a great team effort and I couldn't have done it without them! Thanks to all of our readers and commentors! We may come back to doing this at a later date, but for now we must let it go.

So long for now,

Celesa

Monday's Menu: Oven Eggs with Spinach and Ham

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter yesterday!
Today's recipe is inspired by the wonderful brunch I shared with my family yesterday.
Oven Eggs with Spinach and Ham
Ingredients
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 bag of spinach
  • 6 eggs
  • 6 egg whites
  • 1 cup light sour cream
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked, diced ham (about 7 ounces)
  • 2 1/2 cups grated reduced-fat Swiss or sharp Cheddar
 
Instructions
  • In a medium-size skillet, sauté the onions in olive oil until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until just wilted, about 1 minute. Let cool.
  • In a bowl, beat together the eggs and egg whites. Stir in the sour cream, parsley, ham, spinach mixture and 2 cups of the cheese.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or bake it (uncovered) immediately.
  • Heat the oven to 375°. If the casserole was refrigerated overnight, let it sit for 15 minutes at room temperature. Bake until it has set, about 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the casserole with the remaining cheese and bake until the cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Serves 12.
