This recipe was from Nigella Express (yea! Nigella Lawson!). The only reason I'm proud of making this is because it called for a jar of roasted red pepper but instead I roasted my own!! Yes, for me that is very impressive. Anyway, there were a few problems...all of them being my fault. First, the recipe called for baby new potatoes. Huh? What are those? Nothing in the grocery store was labeled that so instead I got some red-skinned potatoes. Then, since I knew the pan I was using was bigger than the one they called for I got extra potatoes. Smart, right? Except I forgot to add extra eggs so the potatoes totally took over my omelette. So it cooks for awhile on the stove and then you put it in the broiler to brown the top (that's why I had to use my cast-iron pan because my normal pans are not oven-proof). After you take it out you are supposed to flip the pan over onto a plate and the omelette supposedly slides off cleanly and you then cut the omelette into wedges...right...You can see what happened to mine after I flipped the pan in the last picture.
Here are the red peppers after roasting. Then you stick them in a bag for 20 minutes or so and peel off the skin...
This is what they looked like after I chopped it up.
Egg mixture...(I probably should have just made this as the omelette)
Here is the omelette after cooking. So many potatoes!
And after I "flipped" the pan over...

Chocolate Cheesecake Cupcakes
I like taking pictures of food but has anyone else noticed how hard it is to take pictures of food at night with all the shiny pans, spoons and bowls around? Anyway, I made these for Pat to take to work yesterday and haven't tried one...yet...hopefully I get one today! I was informed that they were very tasty. That's good since they don't look so appealing. Also, I'm not normally a big batter eater but both the filling and batter were super tasty!
Filling:
Before the topping was added (and before baking...)
All done!

Easter Baking
I'm trying to try out one new recipe a week and this was last week's (the week before was the Bundt cake). It's called Oatmeal Breakfast Bread and it went into two Easter baskets! I got a taste and it was yummy. The point of trying a new recipe was so I would actually make dinners but so far it's all been baking!

Fun Owen
These are happy pictures of Owen playing this afternoon as if nothing bad happened to him this morning. He was stuck with needles in both arms and cried and screamed and then just took a long nap and woke up totally refreshed! What a trooper, you know?! This despite having two bruised arms (one of which looks like someone punched him all over). Plus, how many people can wear white dinosaur pajama pants during the day and get away with it? Just Owen:)
