Inauguration Obamelets – Obama Family Omelets

Homemaker Barbi - Danelle Ice — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 23:56:00 +0000

We found a way to keep the Inauguration fun going with our exclusive recipe for Obamelets. What is an Obamelet, you ask? Obama + Omelet= Obamelet! This great crafty cooking project is fun to do and will have your kids squealing in delight as the first family joins them for breakfast! An Obamalet is made up of a regular omelet, filed with your favorite ingredients, and bacon (used as limbs). If you missed our Obama CHANGE Omelet Recipe for parents from yesterday, be sure to print it out now!

Recipe: How to Make Obamelets (Obama Family Omelets!)

Step 1. Cook omelets and bacon as you would regularly.

Step 2. Print out heads for your Obamelets by clicking the picture below. The full-size page will open, with the heads the perfect size to fit your Obamelets! Print out the page and cut out faces for Barack, Michelle, Malia and Sasha Obama.

Step 3. Cut each omelet into 4 pieces, including a rectangle out of the center section and 3 triangles from the rest. See photos below for cutting illustration.

Step 4. Take your cooked bacon, and cut each piece in half (see photo below) using either a knife or kitchen scissors. After you have all of your bacons cut in half, cut each piece again, this time length-wise. You will be left with 2 skinny pieces out of each bacon-half that are the perfect size for limbs on your Obamelets!

Step 5. Assemble your Obamelets! Starting with one piece of omelet, place it on the plate. Add arms by slipping the edge of the bacons underneath the omelet piece. Do the same for legs. Then move on to the other omelet pieces, repeating the process. Lastly, take the printable Obama family heads you cut out earlier and set each one on top of its “body”.

Step 6. Eat and enjoy! Serve Obamelets to your kids as a great patriotic breakfast in celebration of Inauguration week!

Change We Can Eat: The Obama CHANGE Omelet!

Celebrate President Obama’s Inauguration by making a special patriotic breakfast at home for mom and dad- use our exclusive recipe to make an Obama CHANGE Omelet! This free printable Commemorative 2009 Inauguration Recipe/Poster can be found below.

This recipe was invented by one of our talented staff members (who wishes to remain unnamed) by using one ingredient that starts with each letter of the word “change”. The only ingredient which was tough to name was the “N” food- there just aren’t many foods that start with that letter! I turned to Twitter to help our chef find the last missing ingredient. Thanks to our great Twitter community for the brainstorming!

To cook your very own Obama CHANGE Omelet, you’ll need to use the following ingredients:

Cheddar

Ham

Asiago Cheese

Nonstick Cooking Spray

Green Pepper

Eggs

Your kids will be wanting their own special version of the patriotic Inauguration breakfast, and boy, do we have a surprise for you! Up next, is the special children’s Inauguration breakfast, so stay tuned! In the meantime, be sure to download and/or print your Commemorative 2009 Obama Inauguration Recipe/Poster below.

Happy Sweetest Day October 18th

Ever a fan of frugal holidays, we want to remind you that today is Sweetest Day. Let your loved ones know how much sweeter they make your life!

“In observance of Sweetest Day, my love goes out to my husband, Michael Simmons. Michael is my rock, my partner and my other half. He is the Mulder to my Scully, the Captain Kirk to my Spock, the passionate explorer to my logical analysis. Happy Sweetest Day!”

-Danelle Ice-Simmons

What is Sweetest Day?

Sweetest Day is a holiday in the United States that occurs on the third Saturday of October. (I remember when I met my husband he thought I was making up Sweetest day, but I assure you it IS a real holiday!) With its origins circa 1922, there is speculation surrounding how it actually began, but it is rumored to have been started by the owner of a candy company who gave candy to cheer people up. Wikipedia provides more info on Sweetest Day here.

Sweetest Day is similar to Valentine’s Day in that you can send a card, give candy or a present, or just give a hug to your “sweetest” as a way of celebrating their specialness to you. Your sweetest doesn’t have to be your spouse or partner – it can be anyone, even a child, friend or relative!
