Perfect Omelet in a Ziploc Bag

Want to make a perfect omelet? 

I've adopted this process at my home now 
and the omelet comes out perfect
every single time.

You can let each person include their favorites
for their own omelet.

I was home alone last week when I made mine,
I added a couple of slices of ham,
I cut the ham into bite-size pieces.

I also added a bit of chopped onion
and salt, pepper to mine.

You can add whatever you want.
I was going to add cheese but
am trying to cut back so I didn't this time.

Whip the 2 eggs and whatever else you want to add.
I do mine a little bit different from
the instructional video I am attaching,
but am going back to the way I used to do it, like on the video.

DELICIOUS ♥

I mixed mine in a bowl without the Ziploc bag,
but next time, I'm going to just
shake the bag, like it instructs in the video.



Here is mine cooking in a pot of boiling water. 


Sorry about the picture quality on this picture.
Here is my finished result.
This omelet was so delicious.
It is what I make almost every Sunday morning.

You can make them too, if you have kids,
they can help and add their own favorites.

For instructions to make your own
delicious omelet, click here
to watch the instructional video.

This is great to mix up prior to a camping
trip but I like to use it at home for the
perfect omelet every single time. 

Enjoy......

Taking Care of Wooden Utensils

~ I love wooden utensils, crazy huh?

~ I do not put my wooden utensils in my dishwasher.
I have learned, it will destroy them, not immediately,
but they won't last as long.

~ I wash wooden utensils by hand using
antibacterial dish soap and then
put them in the draining rack.
I don't let them soak for hours either,
I get them washed right away.
~ If my wooden utensils get rough, I make sure the utensil is dry and
then I sand it lightly (fine sandpaper - 320 grit works well).

~ Every other week, I treat all my wooden utensils with Bamboo Oil. 
However, once I run out of Bamboo Oil that I bought,
I'm just going to use olive oil, I have heard it works just as well. 

~ Every time I go to the thrift store, I look at their utensils and end up
finding a wooden spoon or utensil, if it is in decent shape,
I will buy it and bring it home and wash it in a bleach
and antibacterial dish soap solution to sterilize it. 
Then after it dries, I give it the oil treatment. 

~ I don't know why I love wooden utensils so much but I do!
Crazy, huh?

My utensils have just been treated as
well as one of my cutting boards.

I let them sit for a couple
of hours in my dish drainer for the oil to soak in and 
then place them in my utensil crock,
they are ready for their next assignment.

Keeping Whites WHITE!

~ I have a secret to share.

~ Well, perhaps it is not a secret to you but it is my secret.

~ We have a well for water instead of city water.... so there
were times when my white clothes would look orange or have an orange tint.

~ I tried using bleach but that only added to the orange tint. 

~ I now add "Iron Out" to every load of whites that I do
and no more orange tinted clothes.


I no longer use bleach, just iron out.
You can find it at your local grocery store or at the hardware store.

It's my best friend ♥

Folding Fitted Sheets? Who Knew....

~ I'm almost embarrassed to admit this but it's true, so I will.

~ Who knew there is a proper way to fold a fitted sheet!
 I didn't....... 
There, I admitted it  

~ All my life, I've always rolled the fitted sheet up, (more like waded it up),
best as I could to store away until ready for the next use. 

~ I usually have 2 sets of sheets and rotate them, except now
I have 3 because I HAD to have some flannel sheets for colder months,
it gets cold out here at the little yellow home in the country {with no wind breakers}.  

~ I'm one of those folks that likes to watch Oprah.
No, I don't sit and watch every show, I DVR the show and then if the topic interests me, I will watch and fast forward through commercials and bits that don't interest me.

~ I'm not a really BIG Martha Stewart fan but she was on Oprah recently
and she demonstrated how to fold a fitted sheet. 

~ Since she did this on national TV, I was thinking to myself, maybe
I am NOT alone and there are many others who don't know
(didn't know) that there is a proper way to fold a fitted sheet. 

~ I just recently changed my sheets and put my new flannel sheets on. 
So, when I washed the set I removed from my bed,
I did exactly as Martha demonstrated and
the results are pictured below. 

~ I loved the way the folded fitted sheet came out flat. 
I will never again wad my fitted sheet and store it way.

The stack on the left is using MY method,
the stack on the right is using Martha's method. 


~ If you are interested in learning how to fold a fitted sheet,
I found a link on Youtube. 

~ It's not Martha but it's another gal
that demonstrated the same method. 

~ Learn how to fold a fitted sheet here.

~ So tell me, did you know how to fold a fitted sheet?
