Kays Kitchen: Strawberry Shortcake

Kays Kitchen is back (with some lost files) and although strawberry picking season is over, its not too late to enjoy a quick and easy treat.  Strawberries are amazing - and whats great about them is that they are even more amazing with some sugar, laid over a piece of cake, and topped with whipped cream.  Although I did not make the cake (because I would probably burn it).  I do have a super easy recipe on how to create your own whipped cream.  Do not be fooled its probably one of the easiest things but people will be impressed that you even put in the effort to feed them. 

what you will need: 

large bowl (chilled) - heavy whipping cream - sugar - electric mixer 

 

  

so your first step is to chill the bowl that you are using.  I prefer to use a metal bowl because I find that it stays cooler longer but use any bowl that you have.  Then pour a cup of heavy whipping cream into the bowl and add a tablespoon of sugar (I usually add more because I like it sweet... ).

Here comes the hardest part - use an electric mixer to whip the cream and sugar together.  Whip the contents until hard peaks are about to form (English: basically whip the cream and sugar until it holds a form)

yes, its that easy.

 

To prepare strawberries I add sugar and water to a bowl and let them chill in the fridge for an hour or two.  

 

whip, whip, whip, whipwhip- whip it real good.

Kay's Kitchen : Egg Scramble

Im back to pretending I can cook...  I mean I can cook, just not as well as I would like.  I am trying to eat better.  By trying I mean I will eat well all day and then treat myself to an ice-cream every night - but that is another thing I will work on.  I love breakfast, it is easily the best meal of the day simply because I wake up so hungry.  I am not the best at eating breakfast everyday but when I do I try to make it as filling as possible.  I love eggs and make sure that I add some extra veggies to increase the nutritions.  This egg scramble is the easiest because it is quick, thoughtless, and works with whatever you like.  

ingredients: (you can add anything you would like)

3/4 eggs - depending on how hungry you are

peppers - or another veggie (mushrooms, spinach, eggplant)

cheese - the shredded cheese works the best but again, use what you prefer

Step one: place as many eggs as you would like in a bowl and beat them until the yolk and white is combined (i usually only add one yolk because they are high in cholesterol) cook the eggs until they are no longer runny.

Step two: add veggies of your choice and make sure to lower the temterature so that your eggs don't burn.  Simmer the eggs and veggies until fully cooked. 

Step three: add cheese of your liking and  cover until the cheese fully melts.
