Go Bars and Eggs Unite!

Amanda says:

Hi Spatulatta crew! 

I just wanted to comment on the breakfast on the go
bars, how did you get yours to stay together? Me and my mom tried twice and both
times it crumbles. Like major crumble. so when we took it out it looked good, and
then we let it cool and then cut it, and then we tried to take it out, and it all
fell apart!  It was like sugary granola with dried cranberries in it, but it was
still yummy! Please if you can help me, please send me and email. Thank you so
much! Oh and I have this really good recipe that my friend Joan gave me and that
she learned it from her camp, im still perfecting it to make it healthier, and their
called haystacks, go figure! 

Thanks again! Bye!

Dear Amanda,

You're right the Go Bars were a little crumbly for us too but held
together in the bar shape rather than turning into granola. We may have
used an extra large egg. We were trying to keep the fat content down but
maybe we went too far.

Eggs are the glue that holds lots of culinary concoctions together. I'd
suggest trying 2 eggs medium eggs or better yet the equivalent of Egg
Beaters.

Let us know how they came out and we'll update the recipe on the website.

Thanks!

Ham St. Paul from Miss O & Friends

Here's a breakfast goodie from our pals at MissO&Friends. They have the coolest learning games and activities. Check 'em out!

You will need:

• 2 eggs
• 1 small onion
• 2 slices of bread
• Ham
• Salt & pepper
  

Directions: (get an adult to be your assistant)

Chop onions then put in pan and cook until onions are golden brown.

Leave onions in pan and crack eggs over them.

Using spatula, keep moving the eggs (like you would with scrambled eggs). Chop the ham and add.

When the eggs become one piece they are done.

Now put on one piece of bread and sprinkle salt and pepper on egg. Now put other piece of bread on top of eggs.

Eat.

Blue Corn Muffins

Blue corn muffins are a perfect addition to breakfast. Try this recipe from the Jalapeno Cafe.

(makes 1 dozen)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 cup blue corn meal for tortillas or for atole
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions:

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Generously grease a twelve cup muffin pan and place in oven to heat while preparing batter.

In a bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl beat eggs, milk and melted butter, until blended. Pour liquid into dry mixture, stir just to moisten.

Remove muffin pan from oven and spoon in batter.

*Make sure muffin pan is very hot when spooning in batter, this will keep the muffins from sticking to pan when you remove them.

Bake 18 to 20 minutes until tops browned.

Remove from oven and turn out muffins to plate. Serve with butter and honey.
