Have I mentioned before that I seriously suffer in the tech department? The fact that this blog exists at all is entirely due to my brother in law, Tom, who bought the domain space and invented the name (and then taught me how to make posts).
This past September Tom told me he wanted to make a cooking video with me. Him and his friend (Tom, yes that’s right) came over and filmed two recipes of my choosing; I picked two existing recipes that would benefit from explanatory footage. The first was the healthier version make-ahead-and-freeze breakfast sandwiches, and he has footage for the simple soft pretzels but hasn’t edited it yet (that’s to come). Regardless, he edited what he filmed and put it on youtube for my birthday! He’s the best.
It’s really awkward to watch yourself on video. That being said, if you’ve made this recipe before or want more info on it, this video will answer all of your questions! This is a favorite of mine because I love having healthy, high protein, low calorie food available for when I walk into the kitchen SO hungry that I can’t even think about cooking. This sandwich could be ready in as long as it takes you to toast a piece of bread, but it’s a complete meal.
And then get thee to the grocery store!
Baby T – so cute! And now for an actual question (which may or may not be totally hypothetical). Say you found a bug in your microwave and were so grossed out and horrified and afraid a family of them was living in the coils that you threw the entire thing in the trash can immediately, and now its six months later and you still don’t have a replacement. You do have a toaster oven. Can you toast the whole sandwich in there or should you just let your husband fend for himself in the morning and you heat them up and enjoy, alone, once you get to work where there is a microwave?
Hi hi! You’re so funny… and ps since I microwave my coffee fourteen times every morning I can’t even imagine living without one! Michael’s best bet is to have the sammie completely thawed – so like 24 hours in fridge (throw a few in at at time). Unwrap plastic and paper and then toast on a sheet of foil to catch any melting cheese. I don’t have a toaster oven so I can’t tell you with any reliability that it will definitely heat the egg/cheese all the way through, but I’d figure this is your best bet. If you are in the kitchen before Michael you could also unwrap plastic/paper and re-wrap in foil – place in 300 degree oven. When he gets up it would be nice and toasty warm and he could turn the oven off for you?
