At only about two dollars per serving, this hearty meal is ideal for brunch, combined with a salad, or breakfast (if you can wait 2 hours).

Yield: Makes 8 to 10 servings

Preparation time: 35 minutes

Total time: 1 hour 55 minutes

INGREDIENTS

6 Lg. eggs

2-1/2 C. whole milk

2 C. sliced green onions

1/2 C. whipping cream

1/2 C. finely grated Romano cheese

2 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano

1/2 Tsp salt

1 lb. hot Italian sausages (remove the casings)

1 Lg. red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch strips

1 1-pound loaf French bread, cut into 1/2-inch slices

2 C. coarsely grated Fontina cheese (pack loosely)

PREPARATION

Preheat oven to 350F. Butter a 13″ x 9″ x 2″ glass or ceramic baking dish. Mix the first seven ingredients in a large bowl; generously sprinkle with pepper, and then set aside.

Place the sausage in a large nonstick skillet and set aside. Add the bell pepper to other half of skillet. Saute over high heat while you break up the sausage with a fork, until the sausage is fully cooked and the bell peppers have a few brown spots (about 7 minutes).

Arrange half of the bread slices in your buttered dish. Pour half of the egg mixture over the bread. Sprinkle half the cheese on top evenly, then half of pepper-sausage mixture. Repeat this layer, and then let stand 20 minutes, pressing on bread occasionally to submerge it.

Bake the strata until brown and puffed, about one hour. Cool slightly, and serve warm.

Bon appetit.

The statistics may be telling us that we in this country are winning the battle against unemployment – that it’s lower at 9% than it’s been at any time over the past year. But factor in people who are employed only part of the time and so on, and the figure jumps to about twice that. All of which takes us to one unavoidable conclusion – we need to learn how to do a lot more with money we have. Certainly, we’ve been told (ad nauseum) that it doesn’t make any sense to spend money on eating out or on Starbucks lattes (and we get the point already). But that isn’t quite enough to help us handle the kind of drop in income and rise in food prices that we’ve come to experience. If cheap healthy food is what you need to provide your family with so that you can survive and save a little money for an unexpected need, what kind of food do you turn to?

As a person that loves to eat out, I have had to count back since it is really expensive to eat out all the time but now that I have found and is that offers Nashville Restaurant Coupons. What a great find. I have been able to eat out just as much as before and in fact, more. I save so much money.

A great point to mention about getting Nashville restaurant gift certificates and coupons before you go on vacation is that by planning where to have your meals ahead of time you can also be assured of eating better while you’re away. So, using Nashville restaurant coupons does much more than simply save you money, they can save you many hassles and lots of time…

Spotted Zebra started over 10 years ago as a small home based catering company called Alpha & Omega Caterers. Started by Greg Bold, who at the time was a manager at Café Veneto, it grew from a little sandwich delivery business into a small home catering company.

Encouraged by the success of his business providing fresh meals prepared in daily, Greg ventured out into more elaborate catering, ensuring the same fresh ingredients and service. Within two years, Alpha & Omega could no longer cater from home as proper licenses and fat traps and health and safety regulations needed to be implemented. Purchasing extra equipment to handle the demand from a colleague led to a change in name to SPOTTED ZEBRA and a re-location to kitchens at Kirsten’s Mall in Westville.

Spotted Zebra’s are NOTICED, they stand out in the crowd and if anything, that is who we are!
We are not the largest catering company, or the fanciest, but we sure try to stand out and be noticed, offering the best service and the friendliest staff and by far the most enjoyable meals of all!

From Westville, our grew from 5 staff members into the ten man crew it is today. Spotted Zebra handles catering for both the corporate and private sectors in Durban and KZN. Our catering ranges from simple hot and cold snack platters to chiq butler style canapés. From the traditional spit braai for 40 friends and family to braai banquets for thousands. From breakfasts to Dinners and everything in between, Spotted Zebra simply loves good Durban food and that really is what we are about!

Do you want it green, red or white? I think I will go with green. At this point, you might be wondering what those colors are. They are the colors of the three main sauces of your spaghetti: marinara, alfredo or pesto. Trust me when I say go with green because pesto sauce, which is made from fresh basil and garlic are far healthier than the other two. And the good news is you can actually create your own pesto recipe to save cost.

In today’s health conscious society, seafood has taken a premier spot in our daily menus. When you compare the cost of a steak or roast, seafood now ranks high, in terms of economy and nutrition. We find new and delicious alternatives to chicken and beef. Just five years ago, fish such as tilapia, orange roughy, swordfish and Chilean bass were not as readily available in the supermarkets. Now, we have a large and varied choice of seafood in the grocery stores. We’re also aware of the many health benefits of eating seafood. Nutritionists and doctors alike are recommending at least two servings be included in our menus each week.

Cooking seafood is so easy and convenient, you don’t even have to know how to cook in order to enjoy this healthy food from the oceans. Due to the current popularity of seafood, many companies are offering frozen seafood fillets in convenient single serving, microwaveable packets (usually four servings to a bag), with a number of gourmet sauces already in the bag! Nuke and serve! It couldn’t be easier.

Alternatively, when cooking seafood fillets, you don’t need to be an expert sauce maker should you buy a plain fillet. There are a number of excellent bottled sauces, salsas and easily made sauces in packets – like hollandaise – with which you can adorn your fillets. The simplest of garnishes is a thinly sliced piece of fresh lemon, topped with a sprig of fresh dill or tarragon for an elegant meal presentation.

When it comes to raw shellfish, cooking seafood is almost foolproof. You get a better price on raw shellfish than an already cooked product, either fresh or frozen. It’s a matter of labor costs. While you do have to do the cooking and shelling, the savings is significant enough to make some pricey shellfish affordable and worth the extra labor. In the case of cooking seafood of the shellfish family is so easy, even a child can do it, with proper adult supervision. How can you tell when shellfish are done? With shrimp, crab or lobster, it’s done when it turns a bright pink. With hard-shelled seafood, such as clams, mussels and oysters, you simply boil them in a quantity of water. When the shells open, they’re done. Those that do not open, should be discarded.

Fresh or frozen, cooking seafood fillets in the microwave is both the quickest method and produces a juicy result. Just follow the instructions on the packet, or ask your seafood counter staff for microwave times. It’s far easier to over cook in the frying pan, under the broiler or on the grill.

When cooking seafood on a shishkebab, such as shrimp skewered with veggies such as pineapple, mushrooms, bell peppers and onions, it’s better to go with the already cooked product. The veggies will cook so quickly, under the broiler or on the grill, that you’re essentially just warming the shrimp as the veggies caramelize a bit. Again, quick and easy.

Cooking seafood is so easy, with a versatility not found in most meats, not to mention the healthy and delicious results, it’s an economical menu choice, you really don’t need to be a cook to enjoy your two servings a week!

I don’t know what happened but it happened very early in my daughter’s life. She was barely speaking when we drove by a McDonald’s and she uttered the words French fries. Though I know she may have had a happy meal or two, I wasn’t sure why she was so familiar with the golden arches. Essentially, McDonald’s foods taste very good. This doesn’t mean that I want her to eat there all the time though. I had to find out why she was so familiar with that particular restaurant….

I am personally going to make a map of all the restaurants in the eastern Iowa tourism region of the state as I seem to be spending a lot of my time there. My desire first started when a girlfriend of mine in the area started taking me out to eat to repay me for chores that I had done for her. I did a lot of chores so there were a lot of meals. She doesn’t like to take the time to cook so the restaurant idea was launched. We only went to the same restaurant once every other meal was at a different place. The funny thing was that we would start to run into the same people in different establishments. Then I found out one of the things she did was to read the local attractions section of the paper. She would read about a place with a good review and want to go check it out. Apparently there were several other couples in the area doing the same thing. Most of these restaurants were recently opened and it seems that is one of the best ways to get your initial business. You call up the local paper and offer their food critic a free meal in exchange for a review.
