Totally Obsessed Thursday!

So as many of you know I am so in love with cooking, baking, reading cookbooks, trying new recipes, cooking reality shows, and obviously eating, (or I wouldn't need P90X :)). My love has taken on a new obsession as of late after my sister Melissa came to visit and shared some awesome baking tricks of the trade. I have submerged myself in online "research." I've been watching you tube tutorials on how to frost, I have about 10 new cooking blogs that I check on regularly, and I've been trying new recipes and planning new recipes to try.

While we have mega slacked on P90X this week, I've still been trying to eat as good as possible, (I'm ignoring my couple ice cream slip-ups while I write that ;)). I stumbled upon an awesome egg white casserole that I tweaked just a bit to appeal more to Joey; if something doesn't have meat, I usually have to find a way to incorporate it. It tasted so awesome with some spicy salsa on top, and bonus, the left overs heated up amazingly well in the microwave! Here it is if you want to give it a go:



Jenni's Egg White Casserole

Cooking spray
1cup egg whites
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp oregano
Dash salt
1/2 cup diced onion
1 cup diced mushrooms
6 slices turkey bacon, chopped
1 cup fat free Greek yogurt
1/2 cup low fat shredded cheese (I did half mozzarella and half cheddar)

Preheat oven to 350F
Spray an 8x8 glass baking dish with cooking spray
Over med heat sauté bacon, mush, onions in cooking spray, add salt, pep, oregano
Cook just until bacon is cooked through, remove from heat
Meanwhile, in a bowl stir egg whites, yogurt and cheese together
Add bacon mixture, stir to incorporate
Pour into greased baking dish
Bake for 45 minutes, until top is golden
Serve with fresh salsa and a side of fruit :) yummy!

Ok, I think that's about it. Don't worry! I still am paying attention to Riley . . . I promise! The Internet is my S.A.R.G.T.B.B. or Secret-After-Riley-Goes-To-Bed-Behavior. (Well, I guess it's not so secret now :)). I'm also trying to finish up reading book 3 of The Hunger Games trilogy, Mockingjay. It is so awesome! Can't wait to find out how it all ends. Stay tuned, more shenanigans sure to follow, and I promise I will figure out attaching pics to my blog asap, yikes bikes!
