Tiger's Eggs--For the PICKY eater!

Okay, here's the story behind this one. I first realized that when you baste an egg, it looks much prettier. Then, in highschool quite a few years back, I had a friend over. I was cooking breakfast, when she came in and started ordering me around in MY kitchen. Yeah, it irritated me, too! Anyways, one thing that was GOOD (the ONLY thing, actually) about her trying to run the cooking was that I learned the trick you are about to learn! The reason I say this recipe is GREAT for the picky eater is because my nephews REFUSED to eat the eggs that I made them. I'm not sure why, since they'd liked em like that for YEARS! Anyways, I remembered that irritating day in highschool, and I asked them how they'd like TIGER'S EGGS??? Know what they said? YES!!!! AWESOME!!!

Well, it's quite simple, actually!

What you will need:

• Good frying pan, with a FLAT bottom, not overly curved up edges (no woks or anything like that). 
• VERY small pan lid (I prefer glass because it allows you to see when the egg is done, though my mom prefers a metal one. It's all about preference, here.)
• Plastic cup most the way full of water
• Salt Shaker
• Egg(s)

 Instructions:
Heat stove to med/high heat, and place pan on burner. After pan is heated, crack egg into pan, sprinkle salt onto egg, pour water into pan NEXT to egg, and place lid over egg and water. Watch as the egg cooks, since I'm not sure how long it takes to cook them to YOUR specifications. It doesn't take that long, though. Then, when egg is cooked to your preference, put on plate and serve. Enjoy!

***NOTE***
If you want LOTS of "stripes", apply lots of salt, if you want very little "stripes", apply very little salt. Simple as that.


Pictures were as best as I could get. Hope you enjoy. :D

Crescent Rolls--Accessorized!

I buy the cheapest container of crescent rolls, which here runs about $2.99 per pack of 8. Not too bad, considering this can be a multi-functional treat!

The ones I ATTEMPTED to take pictures of are lasagna-ish crescent rolls. They surprisingly turned out really well! I caution, though, to pay attention to the stars--they tell you what I found out as I was trying out this recipe.

What you will need:

1 pack of crescent rolls (or more)
Spaghetti Sauce (I like mine chunky, so I do a huge pot. That recipe will be coming on here next.)
Cottage Cheese (I used Fat Free. Also, it was on clearance--****Important clearance tip: Make sure you only get as much as you'll use, or else you aren't really saving money. You're wasting it.****)

Yes, that's all you really need. I turned the oven on to 350 degrees first, to preheat the oven. Then, I opened the crescent rolls. It's better if you roll them all out first, because as they warm up, they tend to stick together. Next, lay out a sheet of wax paper (won't stick to the rolls, and makes it easy to cleanup after). I did NOT do this step, as you'll see in the pictures. This helps cut costs lower, and helps the environment. But, do whichever you want. Now, you'll spread a thin layer of cottage cheese on the rolls (****Make sure you do a VERY thin layer, no curds should be on top of each-other. Otherwise, it will make the rolls too thick, and they won't bake in the center!!!). After the cottage cheese is on all the rolls, spread a thin layer of spaghetti sauce on top of the cottage cheese (****Same thing as the cottage cheese, keep layer as thin as possible, since it will not close and won't bake all the way through.****). That's it, relish if you want to, then line them about half an inch apart. My pan was fairly small, and I tested a few different types of crescent rolls, failed a few times, so I only had two in  my pan. That's okay. Fit however many you can. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, give or take a few minutes. Check on the rolls every few minutes AFTER 10 minutes has passed. Once the rolls are a dark golden color, they should be cooked all the way through, unless you made them too thick. Than you'll have to figure that out. :D (The ones that I made that were too thick were just popped into the microwave, though they weren't very pretty anymore.)

Some variations I tried:
Cheddar Cheese
Peanut Butter and Chocolate. (My FAVORITE!!!!)

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

I'm having issues loading pictures. I will attempt again tomorrow... I hope. :D
