An Early Morning Breakfast Party

After an AMAZING month of Gan Izzy, this morning was the first day of school. Not only did my children head off to school this morning, but I also returned to a part time teaching job after a few years of not teaching at the local Jewish day school.  This morning our friend Mushka also went home. Mushka was here to work the last week in our summer camp - and to entertain my kids yesterday while I got my classroom ready. Disappointed that I didn't get to spend too much time with Mushka during her short visit, I invited her to a "breakfast party" before I headed out to work today. I woke up at what felt like the crack of dawn (5:45 is the crack of dawn if you ask me!) and got right to work in my kitchen. I quickly chopped up some onions and mushrooms and through them into a frying pan for the mushroom-onion scrambled eggs. Next I got to work on whipping the whipped cream for our coffee. Then I added the eggs to the frying pan and put some toast in the oven. Breakfast was a hit and we all enjoyed one more meal with our friend!

Here is the recipe for the scrambled eggs we ate today.

Canola oil
1 sweet onion, chopped
6 big mushrooms, sliced 
6 eggs
Salt
Pepper
Garlic


Heat some canola oil in a non-stick skillet. Add the onion and mushrooms to the pan. Sautee until soft. Check the eggs for bloodspots and then mix up with a fork in a small bowl. Sprinkle in some salt, pepper and garlic. With the flame set to medium-high, add the eggs to the frying pan and proceed to scramble the whole mixture. 


An easy and delicious breakfast!

Tomato-Olive Focaccia Bread

Wow! It has been ages since I have last posted to Un-Recipes. Have no fear - while  you may have not read about it recently, my family has still been eating lovely dinners:)

So where have I been? Have you heard about Gan Izzy? Each summer I run a summer day camp for Jewish children - and it keeps me SUPER BUSY! Believe it or not, I have five incredible girls who have moved into my home for the four weeks that they are working as counselors in Gan Izzy. So yes - I am cooking - and for lots of people. We have been eating all kinds of yummy foods and treats and not to worry you will get to read about all of them at some point! (By the way...Gan Izzy is pretty much full for the next two weeks - but if you would like your kids to experience Judaism in really fun fashion, drop  me an email at rashibrashi@me.com and we will see what we can do!)

Sooooo...last week I baked a delicious tomato-olive focaccia bread and every last crumb was finished off. Here is the "recipe", I am pretty sure you will love this one too!

Tomato-Olive Focaccia Bread

Pizza dough (Click here for the recipe I use)

Olive oil

1 small can tomato paste

1 small can sliced black olives

Oregano

Garlic powder

Prepare pizza dough and allow to rise for about an hour. Spray a baking tray with Pam and then spread the pizza dough out on the pan. Pour a small amount of olive oil on the dough and then spread around evenly. Spread the tomato paste evenly on top of the dough. Place the olives all around the dough. Sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano. Bake on 425 for about 15-20 minutes. Delish!!
