Farmhouse Omelet Recipe - Omelet Recipes

Farmhouse Omelet Recipe - Omelet Recipes

This just sounds delicious. I think I will make it next weekend at the Lazy T. This would be a great recipe to use up leftovers after a long holiday weekend. You could certainly adjust the meats according to what you have on hand.

Right now I am cooking Chicken Gumbo. This is really backwards in my family traditions. My traditions have seemed to fly out the window over the last several years. My dad died 10 years ago and my mom died 6 years ago. They were the glue in our family. Everything revolved around them, their house, and my mom's cooking. Actually, the gumbo comes from even further back than that. All my life before my grandparents died we went to Pt. Neches, Tx. for every Thanksgiving. Gumbo was on Wednesday night done at my MawMaw's (Dad's mom) and her family. Then Thanksgiving day was at Nanny's (Mom's mom) and all that family. Sunday was always traveling day to home listening to Christmas music on the radio with my mother singing every word.

Been trying to make new traditions for the last six years. Every year has been different--different people, different places, different days, and different food. We even made Mexican food for Christmas one year because everyone had already had 3 turkey dinners with different family groups. Now things are really about to change. I am moving to the beautiful Texas Hill Country in Fredericksburg to run the Lazy T full time. So maybe now it will be easier to start new traditions, since it is totally different. We have tried very hard to keep things the same. Sometimes in life you just can't recreate a stage of your life when you are in a new stage of life. Actually, it is kind of exciting.

I'll keep you posted. Hugs and sunsets, kk
