Sunday Breakfast

On Sunday mornings my girlfriend and I wake up and make breakfast for each other. She makes the omelettes while I cook the potatoes and pancakes. I love her omelettes. Her omelettes consist of maple wood bacon, original smith field home pound sausage, ham, fresh shrimp, lemon pepper seasoning, and eggs. She begins by setting her pan to medium. Next she slightly coats her pan with olive oil. She then places the fresh shrimp on the pan. The shrimp begins to cook and she seasons the shrimp with lemon pepper, nature seasoning, and Adabo. While this is cooking she get another pan to prepare the sausage. She saute's the sausage on a pan set to medium. At this point she grabs another pan to cook the bacon. She usually places about 5 pieces of maple wood bacon on the pan. As the bacon begins to sizzle and pop the shrimp and sausage are now finished and ready to be cooled down. Once all the meat is cooked she mixes it in a pan in preparation of the omelette. She cracks 5 eggs and put them in a bowl. She whips the eggs together until the yolk is well blended.

In preparation of the omelette she, first, coats the pan in olive oil. Then she pour some the egg in the pan. As the egg began to cook she slowly add the ingredients mentioned above. Once the egg is cooked well on the bottom half she folds it in half, covering the ingredients. After a while she then flips the omelette and let's the other side sit. Then she takes the omelette out the pan to allow it to cool off. 

When cooking my potatoes I use about 3 large red potatoes. I dice up the potatoes into squares. I then season the potatoes with Lawry's seasoning salt, pepper, and salt. I place a pan of olive oil over the medium heated stove. I then place the potatoes in the pan and let them cook for 10 minutes and flip them periodically. Once the potatoes are cooked to a golden brownish color I then take them out and let them cool off.

I make my pancakes with Aunt Jemima pancake mix. I pour it into a bowl or cup. I then add a cup of water to the batter and stir the mix. Once I see the batter thickens up I then add a cap full of vanilla. I mix it all together to make sure the ingredients get into the batter. I turn on the stove with my pan on it and put some butter in the pan so the pancakes don't  stick to the pan.

Once the pan is heated up, I pour the batter into the pan in circle shapes and let it sit for about 5 minutes. I know when to flip the pancakes when I start to see little holes or bubbles start forming on the other side. The cooked side should be nice and golden. I put butter on the cooked side to give it some more flavor. Then I wait for another 4 minutes and flip the pancake again knowing both sides are golden brown. The house starts smelling like a breakfast diner, this is when I start to get really excited. Once my pancakes are done I take out a plate and stack them.

There no breakfast better than my girlfriend and I breakfast on a Sunday morning.
