Ziplock Omelets

This works great! This is good for when you're alone or when
all your family is together. The best feature is that no one has
to wait for their special omelet. Have the guests write their name
on a Quart Size Ziploc Freezer Bag with a permanent marker.
1. Crack 2 eggs into the quart size Ziploc bag (not more than 2)
shake to combine them.
2. Put out a variety of ingredients such as: Cheeses, Ham,
Onions, Green Peppers, Tomatoes, Hash Browns, Salsa, Etc.
3. Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag
and shake the bag to mix them well.
4. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.
5. Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes.
You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. If you have more
omelets, make another pot of boiling water.
6. Open and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared
for everyone to be amazed.
7. Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets
involved in the process and it becomes a great conversation piece.

Imagine having these ready the night before, and putting the bag
in boiling water while you get ready. And in just 13 minutes you
have a nice omelet for a quick breakfast.

Sweet-n-Sour Beef

1 lb. ground beef, browned

1/2 C. brown sugar

1/2 C. ketchup

1/4 C. vinegar

2 Tlb. soy sauce

1 C. pineapple juice

(I usually drain the juice off a can of tidbits and use the pineapple to make tapioca jello salad)

Add all ingredients to browned beef, bring to boil and simmer 20 minutes. Serve over rice.
