Childhood: Cheerios in the Pantry

My Mother was not that big on sugary cereal. I remember many boxes of Cheerios in my mother's pantry. It was always in the pantry (although that may have been because it was on sale quite frequently).

When Cheerios came out with their honey nut, that was definitely a nice flavor. I was pretty happy when they came out with their whole grain also. Here is my breakfast this morning.

Cheerios is dependable in so many ways
1, Cheerios never get soggy
2. You can eat them as a snack
3. They are not to sugary
4. They have a nice savory flavor

Multi Grain Cheerios was a nice addition to the Cheerios flavors offered. When you want a simple cereal to serve with berries - this cereal makes the grade.

Honey Nut Cheerios is still an old favorite! I love the honey and the nut flavor.

All the cereals I mention have the same taste I grew up with, but also have enough of flavor they are advertising to keep me happy.

Hash in a Dash

There is nothing like going shopping and having an idea for an easy dish. My idea was a hash. Simple, healthy, and easy to make.

Here are the ingredients I used - OreIda Has Browns Southern Style, Butter, Egg, White Onion, chopped Garlic and chopped Italian parsley, salt and pepper.

Put the pan on the stove, I used a cast iron pan, heat it, add some butter than add the onions. Season them with salt and pepper.

Add the garlic and cook until the onions are translucent.

Add the hash brown potatoes and more butter.

Add the parsley. Cook until the potatoes are almost cooked through.

Add the egg. Put it a little more in the center of the pan than I did.

Cover the pan until the egg is cooked to your liking.

Here is my egg in the pan ready to take out. Season more if necessary.

Ta da! It was yummy. This is very easy to make, and if you have another things you want to add to this dish when you prepare it, go ahead!

Banana Omelet

This omelet was excellent. And just think, this was a dish served in the 1930s. I did do a slight spin of my own to the recipe, but all I can tell you is this omelet was good.

When Everybody Ate at Schrafft's by Joan Kanel Slomanson. Schrafft's was a candy factory based in Sullivan Square, Charlestown, Massachusetts constructed in 1928. They later opened a restaurant chain nationwide.
Here is the recipe found on page 109 of the book.

Banana Omelet with Bacon Curls (1930)
1. Peel a banana, cut into 1/4'inch slices, and sprinkle with 1 tsp. lemon juice.
2. Saute 1/3 of the banana (8 slices) in 1 Tbsp. butter until very light brown. (I sauteed half of the slices instead).
3. Lightly whisk 2 eggs, cook in 1 Tbsp. butter to make omelets, and just before folding add the sauteed banana. (I instead added the other half of the banana while the egg was still cooking, folded the omelet and added thew sauteed banana to the top. )
4. Bacon curls are made by rolling up slices of raw bacon, placing them on a rack in a pan, and baking in oven until crisp. Serve 1 curl on each side of the omelet. (The bacon to me was optional so I opted out.)

That is what I call yummy!

I leave you with this quote:

I think happiness comes from self-acceptance. We all try different things, and we find some comfortable sense of who we are. We look at our parents and learn and grow and move on. We change.
