Growing up on scrambled egg pizzas.

Scrambled egg pizza 1 (c)nwafoodie

 

My sisters and brother will remember this and laugh.

Nothing was quote-normal-unquote when it came to mom’s dishes.  For starts, we never had sugar or anything remotely sweet.  She substituted ingredients whether it made sense or not and sometimes it even worked.

She loved to entertain and each week we had what seemed like (to a little kid) hundreds of people coming over for dinner after church.  Sometimes we would have overnight guests and then dinner expanded into breakfast.

I loved those dinners and breakfasts.

She served exactly two meals.  Dinner was a ground-beef stroganoff type dish on homemade whole wheat rolls (no sweeteners) and breakfast was scrambled egg pizza with raisins.

 

Yep.

Raisins.

Strangely enough, it worked.

Although Dennis won’t let me add raisins to our eggs (meanie), he loves it when we have scrambled egg pizzas. They are surprisingly tasty and may make you wonder why you never had one before.

Here, I made you one.

    Ha! I love quirky dishes that come from a family history with a story like this one. It makes them taste even better, I swear.

    I can honestly say that I've never had a scrambled egg pizza, but now I must try one. I may be in there with Dennis, however, on the raisins:)

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
