Celebrity Who Wants To Be A Millionaire

Over the summer my friend Sherri Shepherd called and asked if I'd like to join her on Celebrity Who Wants To Be a Millionaire.  Of COURSE the answer was YES!

Vegas BABY!

So off to Vegas I flew for my exciting #MillionaireTV adventure!  I honestly didn't think I was a Vegas girl but I LOVED it there!

Sites and Sounds of Vegas

Plus the good people at Disney set me up in style!

Kid free hotel room!

After a day of hanging out and site seeing, it was time to get down to business!

TV TIME!

In our dressing room we rehearsed for the show while we got dressed.  There are only 2 rules for Millionaire - don't cheat and have fun!

Once we were dressed it was time to go and play!

Ready for our close up!

Sherri is the celebrity.  I was the Plus 1 (formerly phone a friend).  I was there in case she got stuck on a question and wanted my help.  Well, she got stuck, so there we where!

I can't tell your how it all turned out, but we had a GREAT time and the charity that Sherri played for - The Summit View School - was pleased.

Exhausted but happy we piled back into the limo to head back to the hotel!

Egg Foo Yung

One of my favorite Thanksgiving left overs is Egg Foo Yung.  This dish is SUPER easy and fast to make.  PLUS, it's great for breakfast, lunch or dinner!


For this recipe you will need:
1/2 cup Cooked [chopped]meat (i'm using turkey but you can really use anything or no meat at all)
1 cup Cooked Vegetables
1/4 cup chopped cooked onion
3 Eggs
3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
Cooked Rice
Cooking spray or oil
Gravy (optional)
cooking mold (optional)

If they're not already cooked, saute veggies and onions in a little oil until they are fully cooked and slightly brown.

Add cooked, chopped meat to a bowl

Saute fresh (or frozen) veggies

Add 1 Tablespoon of soy sauce for each egg used

Add eggs, soy sauce and veggies

Combine meat, veggies, soy sauce and eggs.  Stir to combine.  Heat your skillet until hot.  (This dish works best with a hot pan). Spray the hot pan with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil.


Beginners might want to use a cooking mold or mason jar lid.  It's TOTALLY optional!  If you're using a cooking mold, heat the mold and spray it WELL with cooking spray.

Heat the cooking mold and spray it with cooking spray

You could also use a mason jar ring as a mold.

Using a measuring cup pour approximately 1/3 cup of egg/veggie/meat mixture onto a HOT, oiled pan.

Cook until the eggs are set and brown on the first side.(About 4 minutes)

Measure egg mixture into hot pan.

Cook until set and remove cooking mold.

Remove cooking mold and turn patty.

Turn patties and cook until brown on the other side.

Cook until the patties are brown on the second side.  Press each patty with the spatula and make sure that no eggy mixture runs out.  That's how you'll know they're done.

Serve egg foo yung with warm rice and gravy!

DELISH!!!!

 

Easy Breezy!




Pro Tip:
Most of the time you see narrowly shirred garments.

Narrowly Shirred Top

Please know that you can also make a wider shirred garment.

Wide Shirr

Wide Shirr

I think that the wide shirred top is very pretty.  The problem (if you can call it that) is that it's not as snug against the body and may require shoulder straps.

Wide Shirr top on a Maxi

  Recently I did a wide shirred top on a maxi dress.  I LOVE the way it turned out.  The The problem is that because the dress is long, the weight of the skirt tended to pull down the dress.  Making a wide shirred top (in my opinion) is better for a shorter dress or a dress with straps.

Happy Shirring!

Braided Edge Fleece Blanket

I saw this technique and had to learn it!  I LOVE a warm cuddly fleece blanket!  The braided edge completes the look without the hardness of a knotted (no sew) edge.  (No judgment knot edge fans)
