A friend from work who knows about my blog, and no doubt has been perusing it, recently commented about my recipes. She tried a few and found them to be, in her words, delicious gourmet fancy food.
She marvels at the food photos on the blog and contends that I must spend an excessive amount of time in the kitchen.
That’s not entirely true, of course. Especially the fancy part.
For instance, this omelet.
There’s nothing fancy about it, is there? That’s our typical weekend brunch.
It is true, though, that I spend entire days in the kitchen sometimes, but only when I’m trying to write recipes for the blog. I need to be precise and I need the recipes to work. And if they don’t work, they don’t make it on the blog.
But you know what, it’s all fun!
Most of the time, anyway. Then there are days when I just want sustenance. So, I get myself a McDonald’s bundle box. There’s definitely nothing fancy about me and my food.

It does make me smile when people suggest recipes are ‘fancy’ or ‘special’ when actually, they really don’t take any time at all. And anyone can make them. But yes… I eat my fair share of omelettes and baked potatoes too.
Thank you for hosting and for featuring Homity Pie. It’s one of those ‘trendy’ classics from the past that should never be forgotten ?
Have a great week and enjoy lots of omelettes xx
Never had Homity Pie before. It sure looks terrific. I think people are easily fooled by the food photos. A little sprig and herbs here and there and all of a sudden they think it’s fancy ?
I think fancy can mean anything ‘different’ from what a person normally cooks. ☺️

I guess maybe that’s what she meant. She also mentioned the photos on the blog look like fine dining, lol.
It’s always fun to check out the links in your parties each week. This week I brought you my RED RICE & BEANS, GREEN ENCHILADA CHICKEN SOUP and CHICKEN RAMEN IN SHOYU BROTH. I hope you have a GREAT weekend.
I haven’t had rice and beans in a while. Sounds good!!
Thanks for hosting a great party. I shared from both my blogs. Have a fantastic weekend!
You’re welcome. Have a fantastic week, Helen! XO
Hi, Angie; I don’t know about fancy, but your foodstuffs sure look pretty and delicious! Thank you for hosting another great Fiesta Friday, and also for featuring my Zacatecas Style Cheesy Sweet Gorditas! This week I am sharing two more desserts: #39 Zacatecas Style Custard with Pecans, and #40 Classic Spanish Custard (Natilla Clásica). Have an awesome week!
Thanks! Those cheesy sweet gorditas sound fantastic. I need to get masa harina soon.
Such a great read! Simple meals can be the most satisfying, especially with quality ingredients. Try adding Jamones Sin Fronteras’ Jamón Ibérico to your omelet—it brings a rich, gourmet touch to any brunch!
