Not Alone Recipes

So I lied. It was pointed out to me that I am not alone since I have a cat. Well, now I really have two cats as of two days ago. Lilifur (mostly white long hair calico) is 7 months old and Olifur (short hair Bengal) will be 2 years old tomorrow. They need me and I need them. Which is a logical basis for relationship in my book. Of course there is love involved too.

I also have a loving family circle close in proximity (or at least in heart). I have a small circle of dear friends that are like family too. So I really am not alone at all. That confession off my chest, on to a more interesting subject. This blog was not about being alone anyway. Just a place to ramble and maybe share my ramblings. I like the name of my blog though, So it stays.

In my ramblings today, I am adding a couple of recipes to my files and thought this would be the easiest way to share them.

2. Combine eggs and yogurt in medium bowl; beat with wire whisk until well blended. Stir in Cheddar cheese and pepper.

3. Place ham in prepared baking dish; pour egg mixture over ham. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until egg mixture is set. Use process cheese to write “MOM” or other desired message on top of casserole; let stand 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is slightly melted.
