Bring Me All Your Butter

We spent what we hope was a responsibly safe 4th of July with my parents. We kind of have made our own little “bubble” and see few people but each other up close and within breathing distance. Everyone in my family is getting really good at cleaning…even the littles. And we stayed up WAAAAY too late shooting big fireworks and chasing fireflies.

So Sunday morning, after the 4th of July, I found myself awake with PB with the rest of the house was snoozing. So PB and I raided the fridge to make breakfast. Being good hearty Midwestern folk I made a well rounded country breakfast. I turned leftover baked potato into hash browns, used up the last of the sausage gravy, cooked off some thick sliced bacon and fried a perfect medium egg in butter.

Forget yarn….bring me all your butter!!

The Only Thing Better Than Bread Is…..

…..bacon!

I turned my fresh applesauce bread into French toast for supper! And what is French toast without eggs and bacon? Nay I say…we must always have bacon! The bread texture was amazing and fried up really well. I sliced the bread fairly thin so that it would cook evenly and completely. I even added some cinnamon and vanilla to the egg/milk mixture for an extra zip! Who says toast has to be boring!?

I may have to do a few extra minutes at the gym this week but it will be worth every decadent extra calorie!

Now the wind is howling outside and I have a sweet puppy dog on my lap (no doubt because I smell like bacon). A little knitting and conversation with make this a wonderful evening!

Good night to all!!
