Very easy, Very Good. I made two of these for brunch. I had leftover veggies off the grill, yellow squash, zucchini, red pepper and mushrooms, so I cut up 1 1/2 cups of those. I used the leftover steak for one and made the other with browned pork sausage. I sprinkled a little mozzerella on top. They were so savory and delicious. I told the kids it was omelet pizza and they gobbled it up. I think this is a great base recipe and will be trying it often with different veggies and meats.

I am the mother of four boys--two sons and two stepsons. I am also the grandmother of one very sweet and precocious 3 yr old boy. I was once a healthcare administrator but quit a few years ago to stay home with my youngest. Since he has started to school, I am back to working part time.
<br> Next to my family, cooking is my passion. I have a wonderful husband who will try anything. He is my biggest fan and a discerning critic. A couple of years ago, we started a dinner club with friends who enjoy our passion for good food. We have shared many wonderful meals together.
<br> My favorite cookbook would have to be a family cookbook that my mom and cousin and I put together a couple of years ago. We shared all the favorites that had been passed down through the generations as well as new favorites.
<br> My biggest pet peeve is picky eaters who refuse to try anything new. It bothers me more with adults than with kids, but I love that my six year old will eat just about anything I put in front of him. There is something very gratifying about "grooming" the next generation of foodies.
