Sushi Rolls

Texas Omelette Recipe

A while back, we did a plain old, rolled cheese omelette video that proved to be very helpful to a lot of youngsters (and oldsters!). So the other night, when it was a lazy dinner night and I was making this breakfast for dinner anyway, I figgered I’d go ahead and share this “Texas” omelette [...]
