I am hungry this morning..

[butterfly77]

but I don't know what to eat. I don't want simple bacon and eggs I had oatmeal yesterday. I want something different any suggestions?

Any suggestions for dinner?

1. A BLT makes a fine breakfast

Or a bacon tomato and avocado on toast.

Or a toad in the hole -- tear a circle out of the middle of a piece of bread, melt some butter in a pan, put your bread down in the butter and crack an egg into the circle. Cook on both sides until your egg is the preferred done-ness.

Dinner? You'll find millions of ideas on the internet. One good place to look is at eatingwell.com

3. in fact, I'm going to go make a BT right now!

half of one, anyway. That's all the carbs I can take. I have some of that microwave bacon and it's soooo easy and quick. Mmmmmm.

6. I usually buy or make a spinach quiche. It's quick and delishhh with fresh picked, sliced tomatoes.

Or migas is good too when I want to change up the egg thing.

7. For future reference, you might want to keep instant pancake mix on hand

Here's the way I make it.

750 grams AP flour(6 cups)
3 tsp baking powder
1 Tbs salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
6 Tbs lard (or vegetable shortening)
6 Tbs butter (cut into cubes)

Mix all ingredients in a food processor, dropping the fat in last at little at a time while the machine is running.
Use the mix within one month or store in the fridge up to 3 months.

To make the pancake batter mix 1 cup of mix with 1 cup of buttermilk and one beaten egg which yields about 8 dollar pancakes or 3 large ones. This is just the starting point. I always keep frozen fruit on hand for when I don't have fresh, so you just thaw the fruit out with a bit of tap water and drop on top after you pour the batter on the griddle. Bananas and vanilla extract is one of my favorite add-ons. You can always use regular milk and a bit more baking powder (leave out the baking soda) if you don't keep buttermilk on hand, but it won't turn out quite as good. I culture my own buttermilk so I generally always have some.
