Breakfast Ideas

Today I am trying to cook ahead. We have several appointments next week so I am trying to work ahead. So this morning I made pumpkin chocolate muffins for snacks, breakfast burritos and egg muffins. Chocolate muffins 1 box sugar free chocolate cake mix 1 can pumpkin Mix and then mix some more and maybe mix some more. I made them into mini muffins. These are great for snacking and only about 60 calories a piece. They could even be topped with cool whip. You could also make these with a sugar free cake mix. Breakfast Burritos Scramble and cook eggs Cut turkey bacon in half Shredded cheese Layer ingredients on a tortilla shell and wrap. Then wrap in saran wrap. I lay mine on a large cutting board and freeze so they lay flat. Once they are frozen I put in Ziplocs. These are great for when we have to rush out of the house. Pull as many as you need out of the freezer and unwrap. Microwave for 45 seconds (depending on microwave) Egg muffins Make your scrambled egg mixture Cook and crumble your meat. We like to use turkey bacon and turkey sausage In the bottom of the pan put one rolled out biscuit. I buy the small biscuits (you know the kind that comes 4 cans to a pack). Layer your cheese, meat and anything else you would like. We make some with peppers and some without. Bake according to biscuit package I keep them in the fridge and just through them in the microwave as we are walking out the door. These are great to eat in the car. My husband likes to eat his with salsa if we are at home. Pamela

Serving others

This week my kids were asked to help at a promotion ceremony. The girls served food and Michael worked sound. They did great and had a great time. Well one of them got bored waiting on everyone to come back. Can you guess which one that was? I love that my kids enjoy serving others. I hope that is something that never changes. They did get paid for working the ceremony but did not expect that to happen. I think the large amount of fruit and brownies may have made the day easier for them. Pamela

5 Question Fridaty

1. Does your family coordinate clothing for church on holidays like Easter? As often as we can. It is sad that my girls do not enjoy it anymore. So I at least try to do matching colors. 2. How do you get out of a funk? Eat more often than I care to admit. Really I turn the music up loud and clean or take a nap 3. Online friends - real friendships or not? Uh oh, gonna get me on a soap box. Actually I am in a yahoo (okay facebook now) group. There are 10 ladies and we have been together forever. Everyone knows someone. Most of them have met as a group. I would consider them real friends. 4. What is the one food you must eat in a restaurant (not make yourself)? Cheesecake and fried chicken must be store bought. I cannot cook either correctly. Okay, talking about food before bed is not good. I will either be hungry the rest of the night or dream of food. 5. What would happen in your home if you ran out of ketchup? If we did not have ketchup there would be a riot. I wish I was not lazy because I would take a picture of the CASES we have in the garage. I found it on sale for 50 cents a bottle. My daughter eats ketchup on eggs and even on pizza. When we have hotdogs or burgers we not only put it on the food but beside the food to dip in. YUMMY! Pamela

Thankful Thursday

Today I sent a text to a friend and said all I want is a BIG piece of cheesecake, a good book, a warm bed and a mountain dew. Funny since I have not had a mountain dew in a year. I tried six months ago and it was nasty. Later on in the afternoon there was a knock on the door and sure enough it was a friend who had driven to my house to drop these off. I will be honest and say I opened the mountain dew and took a HUGE drink and it was amazing and awesome and ooh so yummy!! I do not know if it is because I am pregnant or what but man I think I could drink a 12 pack tonight. No worries I am not. I feel so blessed to know that I have friends who love me and do not take my whining lightly. Pamela
