Special K Loaf

Here's my Special K Loaf recipe for those who are interested =)
Just so you know, I don't measure anything. I just dump it in. I get the biggest bowl I have and by the time I'm done, it's filled to the brim. I also bake this in the largest pyrex dish I have, which (I'm not sure of the measurements) I believe is 11 x 14 or something like that. Anyway. enjoy. =)


Fill the bowl 3/4 full of Special K (or cornflakes, they both taste just as good).
Mix in one bag of shredded cheddar cheese.
Add one tub of large curd cottage cheese.
Saute' burger crumbles in a skillet with a little olive oil cooking spray, and cook till they are browned.
Chop one large white onion and add into the mix.
Empty two packets of Lipton Onion Soup mix into mixture and add burger crumbles to the bowl.
Add 6-8 eggs, or however many it takes to moisten the mixture.

Mix thoroughly, spray cooking spray onto baking dish and pour mixture in. Pat down and smooth out. Bake at 400* for about 45 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Best when eaten with mashed potatoes, fresh steamed broccoli or salad, and Apple pie a'la mode for desert. =) It may not be the absolute healthiest, but it's delicious, even as left overs. And the leftover loaf (if there is any left over) makes an absolute amazing sandwich.

just one of those days.

It's one of those days. You know what I'm talking about ... the perfect blue skies with not a cloud in sight. The wind is barely blowing and the sun is shining down and makes everything look just a little brighter, a little better. It's the kind of day that makes you love spring and everything about re-birth. Today makes you just want to throw caution to the wind and take off somewhere -- be spontaneous, and maybe not come back tonight.

It's the perfect day to jump on a Harley and pack an overnight bag and take off to the beach. It's the kind of day that makes you want to throw on some shorts and a tank top and scrub down the car out in the driveway, or maybe just lay out in the sun in the backyard on a lounge chair.

Today makes you want to drink a milkshake, because it's just that warm outside. Today makes you want to take off to the lake and lounge in a boat all day, drinking root beer and lazily trailing your feet in the water.

Today makes you want to get a puppy and run outside in the park with it. Maybe take your kids out and fly a kite, except you'll mostly chase after it because there's just not enough wind to keep it flying. It's the kind of day where a cup of lemonade just hits the spot, and a hot dog is bliss.

It's just one of those days...and I'm at work. =(
