Fried Egg and Cheddar on Sun-Dried Tomato Bread

There is this fantastic, lovely, delectable little bakery on Kelley St on the west side of Manchester called "The Bakeshop On Kelley Street." I've had chili there before which was amazing, and today I stopped in and got a half loaf of sun-dried tomato bread and a big piece of pumpkin cheesecake. There is a selection of breads, pastries, cakes, pies, and desserts along with chili, soup, and coffee. There are cupcakes, chocolate covered strawberries, napoleons and eclairs....need I say more? I definately do not have a sweet tooth or anything like that, but whenever I am craving some baked good this is the first place I will go! I made a egg sandwich for lunch and it was amazing on the sun-dried tomato bread.

Fried Egg and Chedder on Sun-Dried Tomato Bread

I don't really need to list the ingredients and make directions like usual. This is pretty basic.

 I toasted 2 slices of sun-dried tomoato bread. While those were in the toaster I made 1 fried egg ( I would have used 2 but there was only 1 left). When the egg was cooked I put some shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top and let it start to melt. Put it between the 2 pieces of bread and there you go...amazing breakfast sandwich. I won't be using any regular store bought bread ever again unless I have too.

Oh and just to show you how good the pumpkin cheesecake was look at this picture below!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could barely eat half in one sitting because it was so big, although I probobaly could have because it was delicious.

Here is a link to the bake shop's facebook incase anyone wants to check it out..

I found a designer from LA who has so many adorable clothes in her Spring and Fall 2010 collections. I'm pretty sure I would have to special order anything by Leila Shams because it dosen't seem there is anywhere online I can purchase and no stores on the east coast. Here are some clothes from her Fall 2010 Collection. It is suppossed to have a "superstitious" theme and be focused on bad luck...black cats, smoke & mirrors.

Stephanie's Roasted Chicken

Stephanie's Roasted Chicken

This chicken is soooo good! I combined 3 or 4 different recipes that I had and added some ingredients. I think this makes a really good "Sunday dinner" and is something I would make over and over again.

 

 Ingredients:

-1 whole roasting chicken

-fresh rosemary sprigs

-4 cloves of garlic minced

-4 cloves of garlic chopped

-1 onion cut into 8 pieces

-2 to 3 lemons sliced

-lemon juice

-3/4 stick melted butter

-black pepper

-thyme
-parsley 

Directions:

-Remove and discard giblets and neck from chicken; trim excess fat.

-Starting at the neck cavity loosen skin from breasts and drumsticks by inserting fingers, gently pushing between skin and meat.

-Preheat over to 400 degrees.

-Combine 3/4 stick melted butter,2 tablespoons lemon juice,1/4 teaspoon pepper,1 teaspoon thyme and 1/2 teaspoon parsley,and 4 cloves minced garlic in a small bowl. Use a brush to rub the mixture under loosened skin and all over the entire chicken, inside and out.

-Put the pieces of the onioin inside the cavity of the chicken along with the remaining 4 cloves of chopped garlic,6 to 8 rosemary sprigs,and 2 sliced lemons.Put remaining slices on lemon on top of chicken.

-Place chicken, breast side up,in a roasting pan or casserole dish.

-Roast, basting twice with leftover butter mixture, about 1 1/2 hours, depending on the weight of your roast.

-Adding 2x3 inch pieces of potatoes around the chicken with butter or olive oil drizzled on them while you roast it is optional. When I made it I served and orzo salad and asparagus on the side.
