Spaghetti, egg, and Parmesan cheese with meatballs

No idea what to really call this, it's just something similar to what my dad use to make as a simple thing when he'd actually cook food.

The original version he'd make was with spaghetti noodles, eggs, parmesan cheese, and corn. It's really simple to make and rather filling. I made mine this way because i didn't check if we had corn and i wanted to have the meatballs with spaghetti, but i don't have any pasta sauce.

I ended up adding like 4 eggs into this, could of gone less, but i didn't. I did kinda miss the corn being in it, gives it a refreshing crunch to it.

Bacon Egg Cups

Followed this recipe: http://www.fatgirltrappedinaskinnybody.com/2011/04/bacon-egg-cups/

For the love of bacon and all that is yummy!!
I've seen the pictures for this for some time and finally decided to make it because we had bacon left over. I didn't have enough to make to the full recipe, i had 11 half slices of bacon and 3 eggs. There was enough for making 4 cups and i had 3 half slices of bacon left.

It was actually really good. Sure it's just eggs and bacon(and cheese), but cooking it in the oven just seems to give it a completely yummier taste. I maybe could of cooked it for a tiny bit longer, it wasn't raw, but some of the bacon seemed like it could of been cooked more to be crispier. The eggs were fluffy. I will make these again when i have more bacon and eggs again. Maybe not even the full 12 but making the 4 again or just 2 of them. I pretty much was full after 2 of these(and the extra slices of bacon i cooked lol).

Didn't hear from my brother on what he thought of it, but my mom liked it.

A Banana + 2 Eggs = Pancakes?

Now i dont have a pretty picture of a nice stack of these....I eat while i cook pancakes, only time i have a stack is after i get full lol. This picture though is of one of the pancakes i made. Here's a good page to use to follow how to make them, http://www.blogilates.com/recipe-index/100-natural-pancakes-recipe-gluten-free-flourless-low-calorie

I've tried this before where you just use a fork and mash the banana and 2 eggs together to get a smoother texture. I don't remember really how those turned out. For this one, i did a double batch of 1 bananas and 4 eggs and i used my food processor to mix them together. might of gave it a thinner texture, but seemed okay.
Here's some pictures from me processing it...

I ended up trying to cook on stove top and on an electric griddle....i think both are fairly a bust if you try and rush this. because it's thin and only eggs and bananas, cooking it on a high temp just doesn't really seem to work. Lower and little longer seems to work better. Also, if you are not using a non stick pan, be sure to spray or it will be even harder to flip. It's hard to flip it on it's own. In a few comments on the link i provided above, there was comments about adding coconut flour to thicken it a little to make it easier to flip. You can use normal flour, just would defeat the flourless part of this. I've read that coconut flour is good for you, and it's gluten free. Could maybe also use almond flour, just almond flour is something to watch because it's made purely from nuts (easy enough to google more info if you are interested). I wouldn't mind trying this again with using the almond flour or coconut flour to thicken it.

There was also a comment about about using this for crepes(might of been a comment on part of the pinterest post i found it through). i liked the idea of the crepes, just i didn't have any whip type topping and the pan i was using wouldn't be very good for making crepes. I did managed to make a slightly thinner one and just put some of my greek cream cheese on it then rolled it.

Tasted pretty close to a cream cheese filled crepe.

As for the taste alone, it has a banana taste to it...i'd be surprised if it didn't. I'd say it's almost like a banana muffin type taste? i ate one while it was cold and when cold it did taste a good bit like banana bread. For not having flour in it, it did still have a slight bread/pancake feel for it

For me, i find this just a pretty simple something to make if i just want to make something quick to eat and have bananas and eggs. it's an alright way to use up almost gone bad bananas. Which both reasons were why i made these when i did.

Cottage Cheese Scrambled Eggs

I've been getting into just trying new things. See something (usually on pinterest) and then i want to make it. As long as i feel i'm capable to make it though lol. This is the recipe i followed http://dietrecipesblog.com/2008/07/22/cottage-cheese-scrambled-eggs-recipe-137-calories/

This was one of those things that i came across. It didn't really sound bad to me, but it did sound unusual. Never would of thought "Hey lets put cottage cheese in with my eggs", though that could go for a lot of things for me...If i hadn't already learned when a kid that you could put peanut butter on bread to make a sandwich, it probably would sound really odd to me lol. What also made me want to try this was it let me use my ninja processor that i am just wanting to find all these things to make with. Only thing...i think i probably processed this a tiny bit too much.

Taste wise, it was okay for me. I'm someone that likes melted cheese in my eggs (usually cheddar), so i really felt like that was missing when i was eating this. There was a sorta clear taste of cottage cheese in it. Like the left over taste in your mouth was of cottage cheese. I was like, "I ate eggs, why is my mouth tasting like cottage cheese". There did seem to be a bit of wateriness to it. After it was on the plate it was starting to get liquid just sitting under it, not extremely appetizing to see. Back to the processing part, I feel i might of over done it because the texture wasn't the usual scrambled egg texture. Though was a little lighter.

I might try this again later on but just not process it as much....And cheese..i need cheese in it lol. But as my brother said "But there is cheese in it."

My biggest thing about this experience.....MY DAUGHTER ATE SOME!!! Been having trouble getting her to eat. So whether it was because of the recipe or just because she was hungry, she ate some. Not really going to get into her eating habits though, not what the post is about lol.

Little part i find humorous. Reading the comments on the recipe post, people who are in weight watchers are getting all huffy over the point value, not realizing the recipe makes 2 servings.


Additional info:

My mom is in weight watchers right now, so i used her recipe builder on what i used to get the points per serving and same as the recipe said, it's 3 points per serving. I used the 3 eggs it said and i used 2% cottage cheese. When i found this on pinterest, someone had put that they do 2 egg whites and 1 whole egg. Putting that into the recipe builder on weight watchers, also putting fat free cottage cheese, then it would 2 points per serving.


Here's my pictures of cooking this
