  5. They all look good. Chunks of baked sweet potato instead of broccli (allergic), and adding a bunch of chopped greens. Thank you. I know to keep paper handy to write down recipes when I read you blog.
    Stay safe

  20. I always use 1/2 and 1/2 (light cream) in my omelets, but never considered using whipping cream. Great idea when I have left over whipping cream at Thanksgiving later this month. I've copied all recipes today. I plan to use them all.
