What did you have for breakfast?
This morning my 2 boyz came in off of third shift together @ 7 am(rare occasion) and wanted to know if I would consider helping them with breakfast. They made their suggesttion and I told them to go the the super WalMart and get the ingredients....Well, they're both young working men and can pick up the tab!
Shrimp gumbo (from scratch), crab cakes (frozen) and an extra bag of what appeared to be tiger shrimp on steroids! Yummy!
Just to see them yuckin' it up, pokin' each other, playin' in the kitchen really did my heart good.
Mind you, last night's dinner was boiled chicken backs, pinto beans with jowl meat, turnip greens and hot water cornbread ....So, don't be impressed by this morning's fare....It's very rare.  Enjoy every moment you can with your kids  Cat
Breakfast
How about Belgian waffels with whip cream and fruit topping and an omlet bar? Nothing fancy, just some different veggies and meats with cheese. Set up a couple of pans and let the kids chose what they want. You can really prep all this in the evening and be ready for them when they return. Get paper plates and cups and have a great time. My son went to his prom and a few others over the years so we have done a couple of different things. If you have not been to one yet and are picking up the limo at another kid's house, ask what the situation will be. I went to drop off and take some pics one time and when I got there all of the adults were wearing formal wear and having a party. I, of course, had not even taken a shower that day. Apparently I was sent an e-mail about the event, but it went into my junk mail. I felt like a real rube, but it was still a fun event.
I don't eat breakfast - never have been able to
Ever since I was in grammar school I have never been able to eat breakfast. My parents always made me eat and I'd get sick. Now I get up at 8am, DH doesn't get up til 11AM (on different work schedules), so I don't eat anything. Around 11AM we have our "breakfast" - coffee and whatever it doesn't take me any time to make. I do like life cereal a lot, and sometimes we'll have a bagel or toast. Other times I take some frozen strawberries and blueberries and throw them in the blender with some water and we have a fruit drink. My sister tells me I'm boring and bland. HA HA
What do you eat for breakfast?
Do you change it up, or always eat the same thing?
Myself, for years and years and years... I eat a bowl of cheerios! Sometimes I run out and have to have a bagel with peanut butter or something.
But I still love cheerios after all this time :)
Maybe after a night out and not waking up until 11 or so, we will go eat a big restaurant breakfast of omelets/toast/hash browns, but that's like once a month.
Just curious cause I'm getting hungry and was wondering what everyone else does
Have a great Friday!!!!
Is this the breakfast one?
With eggs and sausage? My mom and sister make that one all the time for morning things. Kids especially love it.
No not the breakfast one. It is
1 bag of thawed hashbrowns (I use the cubed, my kids don't like the shredded hashbrowns)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 stick butter
salt and pepper
2 cups shredded cheese (I use sharp cheddar).
Crushed corn flakes
Melt butter, reserve about 1/4 cup. Mix everything together except corn flakes and reserved butter.
Spread crushed corn flakes over top, pour remaining butter over and back at 350 for 1 hour.
It is a great side dish, goes with anything.
try eating something for breakfast - even if just
toast - to get your metabolism going. Eat a bigger meal at lunch and a smaller meal at dinner. Do you find yourself eating more less-healthy foods than before? If you get hungry, drink 8 ounces of water before you eat to help fill you up. Eating more in the evening means you aren't getting a chance to work off those calories. Good luck.
Oh, forgot about breakfast here
I had some yogart and some fruit. I just do not know about these foods this person is talking about.
Mmmm...breakfast!
Bacon, eggs, hash browns, toast, orange juice, and coffee.
That reminds me--the treadmill is beckoning. ;-)
Christmas Breakfast
I make a big breakfast casserole (sausage/eggs/bread/cheese) and put it in the fridge the night before. I then pop it in the oven while the kids are opening gifts in the morning and we have that with some fruit or anything else we want...it's Christmas!

Maybe she is not eating breakfast before
going to church, but I don't understand why the teacher allows it to go on. Everyone should have at least 1 donut. I would talk to the teacher.
Breakfast Casserole
Does anyone have any good breakfast casserole recipes? We are having a potluck breakfast at church on Sunday and I'm looking for ideas. Thanks!
Breakfast in the crockpot
Crockpot Breakfast Strata
Great for Easter morning!
Load up the crockpot the night before and wake up to an easy breakfast.

1 (32 ounce) bag frozen hash brown potatoes
1/2 cup onions, diced
3/4 lb shredded cheddar cheese
Layer the ingredients in your crockpot in this order.
1/2 of the potatoes- on the bottom.
1/2 of the bacon.
1/2 of the onions.
1/2 of the cheese.
potatoes.
bacon.
onions.
cheese.
Beat the eggs, milk, mustard, salt and pepper together. Pour this over the whole mixture.
Cook on low for 10 to 12 hours. 10 servings
Breakfast Casserole
That sounds yummy! Thanks!
I have a standing breakfast date...
every Thursday morning with 3 friends. Weekends are mostly family time. My oldest son always comes home from school on Friday night, so we Netflix. This weekend, we were supposed to play paintball, but it doesn't look like the weather is going to cooperate.
Can someone tell me how to cook it? Breakfast food, right?

16 year-old made me breakfast!
It's a snow day today, and all three of my teenage sons are home from school. I'm sure my line counts will be low. It's not like they need to interrupt me with "Can I have juice?" or "Play with me," but, they do cause interruptions.
However, I have to say that at least I got one break so far today. The 16-year-old made me pancakes and sausage for breakfast, and he made the pancakes from scratch! He whipped the egg whites, folded them in, etc. What a catch he's going to be some day! (And he's learning to do transcription in the hopes of being able to work from a dorm room one day.)
Yum!
What do you fix for Christmas morning breakfast?
Looking for ideas. Thanks!
I always make breakfast strata
Saute onion, chopped ham, asparagus and red peppers. Layer with cheap white bread and monteray jack cheese. Beat 1 dozen eggs with 1 quart half and half wiht salt and pepper. Pour 1 cup of egg mixture over the first layer of ingredients, then add your second layer and pour the rest of the egg mixture. Cover with saran wrap and put some cans on top and let it sit for a while so the bread can soak up all of the egg. Bake on 350 for about an hour or until the egg puffs up and browns on top. This is so delicious. You can't even tell that there is bread in there when you eat it. The trick is to use the cheap white bread. I think if you used a heartier bread, it may not turn out. My family loves this and it is something you can make the night before.
Breakfast casserole sides.
1. Biscuits with assorted jams and preserves, perhaps a sausage gravy boat.
2. Baked cheese grits or fried grits.
3. Cinnamon rolls/assorted pastries.
4. Blueberry or orange-cranberry muffins.
5. Hash browns or potatoes O'Brien.
6. Sausage patties.
Here's my favorite breakfast casserole
No bread, croutons or crescent rolls --
1 lb of ground sausage with peppers and onions
1 bag of shredded hashbrowns (get the ones with peppers/onions and save yourself some work)
8 eggs beat with 1/4 c of milk, salt & pepper to taste
Layer hashbrowns first. Pour egg mixture over.
Combine 3/4 can of cream of mushroom or chicken soup, 1/4 c of milk, and 4 ounces of sour cream.
Add browned sausage to the above soup mixture and 1/2 c shredded cheese. Layer over eggs & hashbrowns.
Refrigerate overnight. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Take out and add 1/4 c of shredded cheese and return to oven for an additional 15 minutes.
It's not as complicated as it sounds. My husband and I can whip this up in about 20 minutes. It's better the second day when we just reheat it because it sets up better. You can serve it with salsa if you like. We got this off of allrecipes.com and just tweaked it to our personal likes.
PUMPKIN PIE. Breakfast, lunch and dinner! n/m

Backwards night! Breakfast for dinner!
Having bacon, eggs, toast. Usually have pancakes or waffles instead of toast, but not much gumption today...
I live in Texas and have had scrapple for breakfast before.....sm
I haven't seen it around lately. We have something down here that is similar but for some reason it really grosses me out....hog head cheese.
Bloody Mary for breakfast, extra vodka! lol

Starbucks coffee IS strong. Probably Breakfast Blend is weakest,

Two youngest grandchildren here tonight. They love breakfast for supper. (sm)
Will do bacon, hashbrowns, a frittata, biscuits and juice. If their mom gets here in time for supper will do gravy for her biscuits. The kids and my husband don't care for biscuits and gravy. (Go Figure).
Breakfast - homemade biscuits, gravy, scrambled eggs,
bacon, fried bologna and potato pancakes. It was scrumptious!!!!
Made belgian pancakes & maple syrup for breakfast, then typing for

On vacation I had Bananas Foster french toast. Breakfast buzz! nm

I miss college and Carnation Instant Breakfast in a nice tall glass of ice cold milk.

Sorry, don't believe in that place either!
Hmmm, that was a very christian-like post - NOT! lol
she's in a much better place now
and with her son. I wonder who raises the baby.
there's a place for everyone
:)
That's why this is no place for it
I can tell you right now a lot of people would not like that. I asked someone how they would like it if it was the satanic bible and they have yet to answer. Although they were mighty quick to come back accusing me of being a non-believer when they have no idea what my background is. People don't want the Koran or Tanakh or the Jehovan bible (if they have one), the Wiccan Book of Days, or better yet, how about the Satanic bible. No, they wouldn't like that. To them its the bible or nothing else. People need to keep their religious beliefs to themselves.
I think I might have already gotten something to take the place
My husband the other day told me we needed some new towels, others worn. I thought well just let him get those as I seem to always be the one to buy things needed in the home. Yesterday UPS delivered a brand new 32 inch television to me, an early birthday gift for March from hubby. This morning I went out and bought him lots of new towels (and wash cloths also).
In the first place...sm
Sounds like he went to rehab for all the wrong reasons. Namely, for you, not for himself. The only way an alcoholic/addict has any chance for long-term recovery is to want sobriety more than he or she wants anything in the world. You work the program not for your family, not for your friends, not for your employer, but for yourself. Otherwise, he'll go right back out. Trust me on this.
Meanwhile, get yourself to Al-Anon STAT! The Al-Anon program shows you how to detach and take care of yourself and have your own life. It shows you how to make healthy decisions for yourself and not to enable to alcoholic/addict.
Best of luck to YOU.
What happened in the first place??

I'd have a BIG problem with it. Not her place. (nm)

Yes I would - it's not the teacher's place to do this....sm
shouldn't they be spending time teaching anyway instead of being worried about what kids do and don't believe in outside of the classroom?
Teachers are being allowed to do whatever they want this day in time. My high schooler listens to her biology teacher rant and rave each day about the "evils" of eating meat and she's sick of hearing it every day and is anxious for the end of the semester next week to get rid of this obsessive teacher.
Congratulations to her and to you!!! You should place the right arm
far over the left shoulder and give yourself a pat on the back. What a wonderful support you have been in helping her achieve her goals and you should be very proud of yourself, too. I know she is so appreciative for all of you that made her dream come true!
It's OUR place to tell our government that
Don't forget, the government is supposed to be owned by us, US citizens. They have gotten so giddy with power, they have forgotten that. Why else do they write their own paychecks, given themselves raises, and can continue to draw HUGE incomes after they leave office for the rest of their lives, including HUGE incomes for their wives long after they are dead, free healthcare, all the perks. These are public officials. Once they are out of office, they're on their own. We have let them take control of OUR government. It's up to us to take it back. You have a phone, e-mail, petitions.......you get the message across to them. Don't wait for others to do it for you.
I will take more than I bought in the first place
if they don’t cough up the $700 plus Tuesday morning and according to what (if that is the way it goes) it brings in on the court house steps, then I get % and the courts take % but not as much as mine. I can hardly wait until Show-Down at the OK Corral Tuesday morning. I just get ticked off thinking about their nerve.
NO WAY. It is not your place to tell them, let their parents tell them when they
think the time is right!!!!!
"No other place...."
NO OTHER PLACE
By Sondra Stallman ( poetry from II Cor. 5:8)
I turn and walk down a corridor.
Even though it is a strange and different place, I am not afraid to walk it.
There is a deep quiet here, like a hush and a soft sound of singing.
Everything has gone white. I am in a Most Awesome Presence.
There is no time nor space.
The Presence is all encompassing.
There is no “air” as I know it, yet I care not.
I am still. I feel no need at all.
No hunger. No thirst. I’m not tired.
The greatest change within me is the total lack of desire to utter a single word.
My thoughts seem to have stopped. It is like I am floating.
I have always been very conscious of my “self”….my “body”….my “thoughts”,
my perception of things around me! In this place, I am utterly emptied of “self.”
My awareness is keen, however, of the Presence that is everywhere.
It is a Peace so deep it sustains all things that come near.
I feel as if I’ve been shot into the very center of a hot and burning star.
I can feel the energy that is creating and re creating every milli second.
There is a distant sound of song, as if miles away.
Voices that sound like velvet feels
are floating past me.I linger before the songs.
I reach out.
I can touch them with my finger.
I can TOUCH the SONGS!
Suddenly,it seems that the SONGS are INSIDE ME!
The light is bright and deep and all wrapped up in the songs.
I see no one.
I feel only Ecstasy.I know of no other place.
I know nothing but the Love
And The Light.
I Will never Leave.
II Cor. 5:8…”to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.”
Looking for best place to raise a kid
I like where I live...but after a week from H E double toothpicks last week, I really feel that a bit of distance between myself and any family members would be better. Long story short, you think your family will be there to help when you need it, but instead all you get is beaten down and end up feeling bad and having to deal with your crises by yourself anyway (it's the ONLY reason I moved back to this area a couple of years ago).
Currently, I live in the deep south and my city has an excellent !!! school system, but I know there are other good school systems out there. So, here are some of what I would like in addition to a good school system.
Near water and mountains (could be lake or ocean, or state park), easy access to public transportation (in case my car breaks down), a good YMCA or city recreation center.
I've been looking at a borough just north of Philly, a couple of small cities in Virginia, a city north of Denver, some areas in North Carolina. I would like to avoid the west coast unless it's somewhere in Washington State or Oregon. I've considered the Reno area, but I've never been there and I don't know what the schools are like.
Any ideas? Thanks! 
Another place to check...
My basement has a sump pump and water collection area behind a basement wall. The drainage pipe goes out to a pond down the street. It took a while to figure out that was how tree-frogs were getting into my house. Sorry about your snake problem--it's one of my few phobias (though I still will not kill them). BTW, I also saw one go through a crack in the sidewalk. Amazing critters aren't they?
There is no place in my house
where these would fit in. I am no where into the shabby chic thing, have had these in a cabinet and going thru all my stuff for the last day before the sale next weekend found these and hey, since I am not using, am gonna try to sell selling. I have some things of my hubby (who is a pack rat) and just hope he does not find what I have gotten of his. Ekk...I have everything but the kitchen sink, carpets, vintage jewelry, floor lamps, table and chairs, etc. I can hardly wait.
What a beautiful place for all of you!!! nm
