Steak Breakfast Skillet

I've never liked eggs but I've always LOVED going out to breakfast. I use to alway just get homefries and toast until I discoved this meal! I now ask every time we go out  if they make this! We enjoy eating breakfast for dinner so I thought I would give a try and re-create something like it at home. It was a hit!

1. Prepping the vegetables. I cut up one onion, one green pepper and one tomato.

2. Using some olive oil, I cooked the peppers and onions until tender.

3. I then added a half pound of pub style shaved steak and tomates. I seasoned the steak with onion powder, garlic powder, salt & pepper.

Smelling good!

4. After the steak was cooked, I added a pound of diced homefries.

5. After covering the top with a layer of cheese, I put it in the oven at 350 until melted.

We made some eggs to got with this. This is Pete's plate.(remember what I said about eggs, hehe)

Lobster Dip

3. Participate in the Lobster Dip on New Years Day.
Well, I crossed another one off my 40 before 40 list! I put in on my list after reading Peter MacVane's obituary last month. He was a close friend of a family brother-in-law. It was a last minute decision this year to do it but when my sister in law Cynthia told me she was doing it, I knew it would easier to accomplish with others! She was jumping in with Katelyn's Dad and sister......so down to Old Orchard Beach I went!

Cyn and I trying to warm up with a beverage before we dive into the ocean :)

You know it's not the smartest thing to be doing when state divers are in the water "just in case"!

Undressing to jump in! It was windy out!

Lisa took this picture of us and on Facebook captioned it reconsidering? LOL!

 I took this picture when watching the news that night. An aerial photo of all us crazies going in!

coming out! (thanks for the picture Lisa!)

I did it!! I actually was a "double dipper". I went in twice!

Our first family photo of 2013!

Cynthia and Katelyn

After we went in and changed we tried to warm up by steaming hot water on our faces! 

Final report: I would actually do it again! I found that because the water temperature was the same as the air, going into the water wasn't as shocking as I thought it would be. Heck, I went back in! It was the after that was tough. The wind and freezing cold toes was brutal! Even after I dressed I was cold for hours! I am glad I can now say that I am one of the nuts that jumped into the ocean on January 1st!
