BREAKFAST MINIS
I made this recipe recently because I wanted something
quick, easy and filling for breakfast. The good news is it’s
also a great Keto recipe. I made these on a Sunday afternoon
and put them in the fridge and warmed them up throughout
the week. I will definitely be making these again and will
experiment with using bacon and ham to mix it up a little! I
used a mini muffin pan, but I’m sure that you can use a regular
muffin pan, etc. to make these by simply adjusting the cooking
time. Additionally, you can increase or decrease your yield by
adjusting the amount of each ingredient.
INGREDIENTS:
-A dozen eggs, mixed well
-Spinach, as much or as little as you want (fresh or frozen, but fresh recommended)
-Sausage, bacon or ham, cooked and crumbled or cut up into small cubes
-Salt and pepper to taste
-Finely shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
-Paprika (optional) Non-stick cooking spray
DIRECTIONS:
Cook whichever breakfast meat you want to use. Drain if you cook bacon or sausage and crumble
or cut up into small cubes. Next, pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray your muffin pans with
non-stick cooking spray and add your breakfast meat. If using mini muffin pans, use very little meat
so that you have room for egg and cheese. Pour egg on top of the meat in each hole (a little lower
than level of the pan surface). Add a sprinkle of cheese on top of the egg. I put a dash of paprika
on some of mine to change the look. It didn’t lend much of any flavor to the breakfast mini, but
it was pretty after cooking! I used a mini muffin pan and baked mine on 350 degrees for about 12
minutes. Until you see how fast or slow your oven cooks these, I would keep an eye on them to
find your timing. These were super quick and easy to make and they warmed up surprisingly well
in the microwave. I warmed mine up (5-6 minis) for about 20 seconds in the microwave. I hope
that you enjoy this recipe!
Spurweed strikes again
ALLIE CROCKETT

Many of you may be long
ing for warm summer weather
where you can spend time out
doors . If you’re like my kids and
me, you spend as much of that
time as possible barefoot. I can
imagine it now. The soft grass
squishing between my toes with
each step, and then OUCH!
Spurweed strikes again.
I noticed last year that I had
stickers in my grass and quite a
bit of them. I did my research
last year and found that spur
weed is the culprit but that I had
missed my window on control
ling it. The naughty weed has
a parsley like appearance and
easily goes unnoticed. This
winter annual is very tiny so it
took some looking, but when I
found it, I was in for a surprise
when I noticed how much of it
I actually had. It’s so tiny you
don’t understand the problem
you have until that unpleasant
moment when it attacks your
tender feet.
It seems to be a prolific
spreader and germinated dur
ing the fall and winter months.
Late in the winter, the weed will
bloom with tiny white flowers
and sets fruit as the weather
begins to warm up. It’s after the
fruit set that the spines develop
from the seeds in the fruiting
structure and become sharp as
it dries.
Preventative measures are
the best way to control spur
weed. Having a thick beautiful
lawn will compete for water,
nutrients and space. Depend
ing on your type of grass, you
may need to adjust your mower
height to allow for a thicker can
opy layer for winter. If you think
you already have spurweed like
me, call the local extension of
fice for proper identification and
discuss your existing grass type,
etc. to develop a spray plan that
best suits your needs.
The key, however, is tim
ing. Spurweed can be easily
controlled during December,
January and February, so now
is nearing the end of
prime spraying time.
In my yard I have a
mix of grasses, most
ly centipede and St.
Augustine around
the house. I called
Mr. Payton Sapp to
make sure I was on
the right track with
the spray schedule
and find out exactly
what herbicide could be used
on my lawn. We decided that for
my yard, the active ingredient
atrazine will best suit my needs.
It is a restricted use pesticide
so you may have to have some
assistance with spraying unless
you have a pesticide license.
There is also a three-way mix
2.4-D, dicamba and MCPP with
the trade name Trimec that you
may try out. Mr. Sapp said that
it would also be a good choice
for me. I do recommend that
you give Mr. Sapp a call at the
County Extension Office before
making any chemical control
choices so that he can assist you
in making sure that your spray
plan fits the needs of your lawn
and protects other plant species
around your home. However,
don’t delay as time to control
this nuisance is dwindling.
Good luck!
