MAM'S MEALS

RECIPE: Yields 6 bacon egg cups - 3 slices of bread - 3 Tbsp. shredded cheese - 6 slices of bacon, cooked - 6 eggs - Salt & pepper With a jar or cookie cutter, cut 2 circles into each piece of bread. Place in muffin tin cups.  Wrap a piece of cooked bacon along the edge of each muffin cup—make sure the bacon is JUST cooked and still warm, so it doesn’t break or crumble.  Sprinkle 1/2 Tbsp. cheese into each cup, then top with an egg.  Season with salt & pepper, and bake at 400°F for 15 min (longer for firmer yolk). Top with green onion.

Ingredients- 1 1⁄2 lbs peeled extra large peeled raw shrimp 2 pre-made crab cakes 1 lb bacon Assembly directions- Pinch off about 2 teaspoons of crab cake for each shrimp. Cut bacon into thirds. Wrap each shrimp and crab with bacon. Store in large container with lid using wax paper between layers. Cooking directions- Place shrimp on large baking sheet in single layer. (use a wire rack if you have one). Bake 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes until bacon is crisp and shrimp is cooked.

1/4-1/2 lb deli sliced ham (8-12 slices) 1 ½  C. shredded Mexican cheese blend 8-12 flour tortillas 1- 1½  C. half & half 6 eggs 1 T flour ½ C. shredded Mexican cheese blend. Place one slice of ham on each flour tortilla (assembly line style). Top each tortilla equally with cheese. Roll and place in 9×13 baking dish sprayed with non stick spray. Top with remaining cheese. Add next 3 ingredients to blender and blend.  I used a blender bottle because I did not want the big blender in the refrigerator.  You know, the kind with the little spring ball inside that you use for protein shakes.  This way you get your workout in while you cook. All I could think of when shaking this was the commercial for the “Shake Weight”.  Makes me laugh out loud every time I see it. Pour egg mixture over enchiladas.  If making ahead, pour egg mixture over enchiladas right before baking.   Bake covered ...

8-12 hot dogs (look for 100% beef & nitrite free) 8-12 hot dog buns (whole wheat) ½ C. mayonnaise (low fat) ½ C. relish (sweet or dill) 1-2 cans turkey chili 1 C. frozen chopped onion (opt) 1 C. shredded cheddar cheese Line a 9×13 baking dish with foil.  (you might need an additional pan to fit them all)  The 9×13 pan will fit 8. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each bun.  Top with dog and place in baking dish. Top each with relish, chili, onion and cheese.  Cover with foil. Bake covered in a 350 degree oven for 40 minutes. These are not at all soggy.  They are perfect!  Just like the ones you get at Sonic drive in.  These would be great to take to an outside summer concert or picnic.
