Breakfast Bookends

Cost: $4 (just dinner)

Prep: 15 minutes

If I had wrote this post any sooner it would have something scathing about Matt. But, because we have waited a few days, I have cooled off from Matt with his sad puppy dog eyes coming home in the middle of Charlie and I eating and saying, "That's okay you didn't make me any. I would have eaten it cold, but I just wont eat" or something to the like. Seriously!

Once I convinced him to go make himself some darn eggs, he asked me what heat to cook eggs at. Then I saw what his eggs looked like, and I realized the reason he doesn't come home and make his b for d is because he doesn't know how to make eggs.

So, anyways, we all ate b for d with the delicious rosemary foccacia bread from Thrify's and a pineapple that was too ripe and tasted like a pina colada.

I also wanted to talk about my lunch.

I wasn't so into dinner anyways because I had had a large lunch at school. Imentioned earlier in the week that I buy my lunch almost every day.

Today's lunch meal was a small salad (with far far too much dressing), spaghetti and meatballs with olive bread. Looks yummy? It was. I also had a yoghurt and an orange.

B for D

Cost: less than $5

Prep time: less than 10 minutes

Matt did not join us for dinner tonight; I had had a very busy, long day; Charlie enjoys pulling my wet shirts from the laundry and running around with the shirts over his face, regardless of walls in his way. So, anyway, Matt had rugby until 6PM and Charlie and I cannot wait to eat until then, so we had a quick breakfast for dinner. I didn't make for Matt, as it would have been cold before he got home, so he still hasn't eaten yet.

I tried to make this dinner healthier by serving it with a lot of fruit. We picked up a little water melon, about the size of a bocce ball, when we were at Walmart the other day ($2.50). We ate 1/2 of that, although it was difficult as I had to take it apart for C because of the seeds. We also shared an orange and a few grapes.

The bacon is the Natural Selections variety, even though I hear it is not actually any less full of nitrates than regular bacon. Still, it is really nice bacon. I like to broil it so it is flat.

I fried our eggs: 2 for me, 1 for Charlie. I like my yolk soft, and it was a little harder tonight, but C gets his completely cooked through. I'm not sure if I am supposed to feed him runny eggs, but I have no idea how he would manage to eat a runny egg anyway.

For our grain product, we shared an English muffin with light herb and garlic cream cheese. This was very satisfying, especially when combined with the bacon and eggs; it was almost like having a Hollandaise sauce or something.

Honestly though, I am still hungry and looking forward to a snack tonight...

Goldilocks Cooks Eggs

Cost: $4

Prep time: 5 minutes

If Goldilocks made breakfast for dinner for the three bears, this is what she would have made them. And then they would have eaten her because it was not very filling. Unless, in Goldilock's good luck, they were not very hungry because they had eaten a huge, greasy, delicious, high salt lunch.

Oh wait, that was us. We ate super-crap at lunch, even the baby. So, we agreed, no salt for dinner.

The other problem was that a certain husband told a certain wife we were going to certain in-laws for dinner, so even though a certain family was at the grocery store that morning, there was no plan for dinner.

So, we did breakfast for dinner again: eggs, English muffin, and a whole cantaloupe.

There was a Daddy Bear sized portion, eggs scrambled.

There was a Mommy Bear sized portion, eggs soft fried (if that is a thing).

There was a Baby Bear sized portion, egg fried solid. Interestingly enough, he will eat an egg like this, but not scrambled.
