Breakfast for dinner is the best thing ever. Sometimes I make eggs benedict or eat waffles or cereal.
I’ve never attempted eggs benedict. Is it hard to do?
It’s not hard, it’s just technique. There is not a whole lot of room for error, but once you’ve had success with it, you can do it by rote. I was tired of paying hefty prices for brunch, so I learned to make it at home. It’s very indulgent!!
Any pointers?
Eggs scrambled with some caramelized onions and a nice cheese, and buttermilk biscuits. There is more time to make and enjoy them than in the morning when things can be rushed.
You’re making my mouth water.
Cereal, or an omelette containing veggies that need to be consumed. Or a fruit smoothie. Yet another upside to not having dependents. I wouldn’t have the energy to explain to kids why we’re having cereal…again…for dinner.
I remember choosing peanut butter on an English muffin for dinner for the first time, and it felt so liberating.
Last winter, when the weather was just too darn cold, I got the idea of pancakes for dinner in my head and just couldn’t let it go. In fact, I think it was one of the stretches of really snowy days so I went out in the snow just to get the ingredients for blueberry pancakes, complete with syrup. It was delicious and so comforting on what could have been a dreary few days home alone.
Now that you describe it, it sounds like the perfect dinner for a cold, snowy evening.
Oh Wendy! I love how in sync our lives tend to be. Just clicked over to read your latest post…over a bowl of steel cut oats (with cinnamon and dried cranberries) CHEERS!
Cheers to you! Happy eating.
Pancakes (made with Bisquick, baking powder, vanilla, and lemon juice–fluffy and sweet) or French toast (with cinnamon in the egg dip). With real maple syrup, not that mass-produced, supermarket swill (okay, a little snobbish there).
Real maple syrup, absolutely Len.
I’m in the grip of depression following the latest romantic rejection so I choked down a bowl of cereal.
I hope things get a bit easier, Amy. Take care of just the basics until they do.
Exactly right, Kathy. One day at a time.
I’m so sorry to hear that Amy. But I’m glad to know that you’re staying well fed.
Ok, the blueberry pancackes sound so good, and so does the way the oatmeal is described. I love fried eggs, homefries, bacon and toast with a lot of butter. Maybe a little raspberry jam to go with it!
You’re mentioning a lot of my most favorite foods.
Pancakes and maybe a side of veggie bacon. 🙂
Is veggie bacon any good?
