I want some delicious meal ideas and/or recipes for egg dishes (omelets, souffles, huevo rancheros, etc.).
Any info. 2 share, folks?
Answer
My very favorite egg dish is an Italian Frittata. It is a type of omlette and it is my way of using up leftovers. I can't give you exact measurements for all the ingredients, because as I said I add leftovers.
Frittata
Serves 2 with leftovers, maybe
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 green or red bell pepper, chopped if you have one.
2-3 clove minced garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil or a little more if needed
6 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon each dried oregano and basil or 1 teaspoon of your favorite herbs.
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/4-1/2 cup grated cheese (you can choose any cheese from grated parmigiana to grated cheddar)
Leftovers you can add to the beaten eggs. Cooked potatoes, cooked vegetables - broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, broccoli raab, raw spinach chopped, cherry or regular tomatoes including those that are getting soft and wrinkled, leftover chopped canned tomatoes, deli meats, cooked sausage, meatloaf, cooked chicken, beef, pork etc., pasta and beans.
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees
Heat the oil in a 10-12 inch non-stick ovenproof skillet or frying pan. Saute the onions and peppers (if using) until soft, add the minced garlic and saute about 30 seconds.
Add approximately 1 - 1 1/2 cups of leftovers to the beaten eggs along with 1/2 the grated cheese, the herbs, salt and pepper. Add more oil to the skillet if necessary. Pour the egg mixture over the onions etc. in the pan. Allow to set for a bit then pull the eggs in from the sides, allowing the raw egg to fill in where the cooked egg was pulled in. Do this a few time, then garnish the Frittata with the rest of the grated cheese and put it in the oven for about 20-30 minute or until cooked through and slightly golden on top. Slide out onto a large round plate, cut in wedges and serve with a garlic or any good bread.
Frittatas are good eaten hot, room temperature or cold.
The best frittatas do contain cheese, and should have at least one leftover vegetable, some type of meat and leftover potatoes or pasta or beans. If your vegetarian, leave out the meat, you will still have great inexpensive meal.

There are 3 couples taking a weekend trip. 2 of them are riding their Harleys there, we are trailering ours due to no saddle bags. One of the women is a vegetarian, and I would like to get a few ideas for snacks or easy dishes.
We have a rented cabin with a kitchen, but one never knows what kind of utensils or dishes will be available and we really don't know what we will find to shop for. I will be taking a cooler and I thought about taking ingredients for stuffed mushrooms or stuffed cherry tomatoes. I would mix the (stuffings) before I leave then it would be easy to get them ready upon arrival.
Answer
Some good snacks for the road are dried fruit, trail mix, primal strips (vegan jerky), and/or granola...plus I found some ideas for dinner. A vegan meat loaf can be mixed ahead of time...the recipe is below:
Vegan Meatloaf
Adapted from a recipe in The Joy of Cooking, 1997 Edition
1 14oz. package GimmeLean
3/4 cup finely chopped onions
1/2 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
1/3 cup ketchup
1/3 cup finely chopped parsley
1/2 tsp. thyme
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
3 tbsp applesauce
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp all-purpose white flour
Mix all ingredients together in a big bowl with your hands until they just come together. Joy of Cooking warns you not to overmix, though I can't imagine anything too terrible could happen if you did.
Put in a lightly oiled loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes.
The site where the recipe came from also has some assorted recipes that may be helpful in sparking some ideas that you can run past your vegetarian friend who will be traveling with you.
