Cheesy Toast

I have always liked making cheese toast paired with fruit in the morning for a quick kids breakfast. I found this recipe recently that was a little different. It makes 5 pieces of toast. * Once again I am sorry for not posting a picture. I think I need to just keep the camera in the kitchen :)


  • 5 Pieces of bread
  • 2 cups grated cheese ( whichever you prefer )
  • Butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp whole grain mustard ( I used a little of dijon because it was all I had)
  • pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 450. Butter one side of the bread. Place butter side down on the cookie sheet or baking pan. Mix the rest of the ingredients. Spread on the bread. Place in the oven for 10- 15 min.

Tortilla Soup

I used the recipe from foodnetwork.com. It is Emerils. I would def. change it just a little. I think it could use less broth and also when cooking the veggies I would add some flour that way the broth will thicken.  I also added corn and  black bean ( canned that were rinsed and drained).These are just my suggestions. I enjoyed it otherwise and so did all of the kids. I am sorry about not having any posts lately. I keep forgetting my camera so I haven't posted anything. I forgot it tonight as well, but thought oh well it is better have something posted than nothing at all :)
