Instructions
  1. Heat skillet and add butter so eggs don't stick. Beat or whisk the eggs in a small bowl with cream and salt and pepper. Cook in skillet, stirring occasionally, until almost set up. Remove from heat and serve.
Recipe Notes

If you stir scrambled eggs too much as they are cooking, they will end up crumbly and not be as creamy.

If you don't mind the extra fat and calories, double the cream for extra creamy eggs!

Deluxe Scrambled Eggs

This is another recipe that my husband came up with.  Creamy eggs filled with cooked bacon, onion, sweet peppers, jalapeno peppers, and topped with cheese.  I usually cook up double the meat and veggies, then reserve half of it for a later time to make a quick weekday breakfast.

  1. Heat skillet and begin cooking bacon in skillet.
  2. While that is cooking, finely dice onion, sweet pepper and jalapeno pepper. When bacon is cooked, add the diced veggies and cook, without draining bacon grease.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs with heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. When veggies are nearly cooked, add spinach and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook until spinach is wilted.
  4. Pour eggs over the top of the veggies and stir. Cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are nearly set up. Remove from heat. We like to eat these topped with shredded cheese and sometimes salsa.

I will never buy pizza sauce again after discovering this recipe!  It is quick, easy and thick, and does not require any cooking before it goes on the pizza!

Flourless Chocolate Truffle Cake

This is great because you don’t need to go out and buy all kinds of gluten-free flours, or any kind of flour!  It almost has the consistency of a cheesecake and is delicious!

If you prefer, you can omit the almond extract and put in 2T. of pure vanilla extract instead.

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line the inside bottom of a 9" Springform pan with a circle of parchment paper. Grease the sides of the pan. Set aside. In a medium sauce pan, gently heat the cream over low heat. When the cream is fairly hot, melt the chocolate chips by adding them slowly to the pan as you whisk. Add the butter, in pieces. Whisk until the chocolate and butter are melted. Add the vanilla extract. As soon as the mixture is melted, smooth, and glossy, remove it from the heat. Using a wire whisk attachment, beat the eggs, brown sugar and sea salt until the eggs are foamy and doubled in volume. Slowly add the chocolate mixture to the eggs, and beat gently until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake in the center of a pre-heated oven for one hour, until the cake is set and cracked. It will appear a bit loose in the center, underneath. This is fine. Place the cake pan on a wire rack to cool. When the cake is close to room temperature, lightly cover and chill the cake overnight. Before serving, gently loosen the cake from the sides of the pan using a thin flexible spatula. Release the Springform clasp and remove the ring. Place the cake on a cake plate. Dust with a sifting of powdered sugar.

Hearty Stuffed Pepper Soup

I had never heard of this before we went to a hayride a few years ago and someone brought some stuffed pepper soup for the potluck.  I loved it!  She didn’t have a recipe, so I had to come up with one for it.  I like this even better than Stuffed Peppers, and it is super easy and fast!

Refried Beans

Much better flavor than canned refried beans!  These are  made from dried pinto beans.  Of course, you can add black beans in place of some or all of the pinto beans.  I added these to my tacos (https://www.cherylsrecipes.net/recipe/tacos/) last night, and it was fantastic!

Soy Sauce Substitute

Since I have a soy allergy, I obviously cannot have soy sauce, which is in nearly every Chinese recipe out there!  This is a great substitute for soy sauce, and it is reduced sodium!  It will keep in the refrigerator for months.

Cheese Lover’s Macaroni & Cheese

This is for the die-hard cheese lovers!  If it is too strong for your tastes, go with a mild or medium cheddar instead or substitute with your favorite cheese!  We have sometimes added Swiss, Provolone, Pepper Jack and others to the recipe.

Of course, if you don’t have a wheat allergy or intolerance, you can use all-purpose flour and semolina macaroni in the same proportions as the recipe.

  1. Fill a medium sized saucepan with water for cooking macaroni. Turn on heat to high. When it boils, add macaroni and cook according to package directions. Do NOT overcook the macaroni! Meanwhile, begin cubing the cheese. Melt butter in a skillet. Add flour and stir to make a roux. Add 1 1/4 cups milk and stir, cooking on medium heat, to thicken. Add cheese cubes. Stir until melted and sauce is smooth. You can add a little extra milk if you think it is necessary. Combine the cheese and cooked macaroni. It may seem a little thin at first, but if you let it sit for 5 minutes, the macaroni will absorb a lot of the liquid and it will be a nice consistency.
Recipe Notes

Although spelt is actually a type of wheat flour, most people with wheat allergies can digest spelt with no problem.  Obviously, you should not eat spelt if it is a problem for you.
