My quick and easy dinner stand-by.

Daphne mentioned her love of goat cheese in the comments section. I love that stuff, too. Here is a way we use it for a really quick meal (In fact, we had it for dinner last night, wish I would have taken a picture)

Goat Cheese Omelet (serves 2)
serve with crusty bread and lettuce salad

Preheat skillet over med. heat with a bit of olive oil.
--
3 eggs, beaten with generous pinch of kosher salt and a splash of water
1/8-1/4 c. frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and the water pressed out
--mix together--

Pour into hot pan, swirl to cover pan bottom. As it cooks, lift out omelet and let egg run underneath to cook. I don't flip it, if you want the top cooked more, you can put a lid over the pan.
--
Next, drop crumbles of goat cheese onto omelet. Last night we also added parm cheese and chopped roma tomatoes. Fold over and serve. Yum!

that sounds SO GOOD. i grovel in abject love before goat cheese. especially paired with tomatoes. sadly, unpasteurized cheeses are verboten. i will console myself with a jar of cheez whiz.

mmmm. thanks for this idea cheryl! i was so tired last night after a crazy day. instead of stopping at taco hell on the way homem, i took your quick n' easy suggestion. unfortunately my nearly month-old pkg of goat cheese had a considerable amount of mold growing on it. so i made due with a spinach and feta omelet. it was SO GOOD...wish i could say the same for music and lyrics, which i watched while i ate dinner (sans lettuce salad and with toast instead of crusty bread).

i wondered about music & lyrics...thought it'd be a good guilty pleasure movie. guess not.

toxic hell...i love their bean buritos. mmm.

but the omletto sounds tasty, too. sadly, we don't eat good food anymore. access to tasty cheeses & breads is at an all time low 'round here. but, that promotes a kind of regularity than i can't complain about.
