February 2017, Breakfast / Lunch / Brunch???

After water exercise class today I felt the need for a bunch of protein.....


SO ~ I made a "Which-Came-First-The-Chicken-Or-The-Egg?" sandwich ~~~~~~~

Protein packed breakfast this morning......

How odd?

I didn't show, but after I took the pic I shook on some of my Tennessee Sunshine Hot Sauce! YUM!

Mmm, same idea but different stuff -- Tabasco or Crystal Hot Sauce for me!

Gee, Jimmy.....look at it as "glass-half-full" ~ it could have been just an egg and NO bacon. At least you got the better of the two!

I'm just a freekin' ray of sunshine, huh???

LOL

I made some blueberry pancakes this morning.....yum!

Wish I could eat yeast doughnuts ~ they just don't agree with me anymore.

Blueberries were on sale here, Beth, and I made some a week or so ago. I actually thought of you while I was making them, as I used Bisquick and added some lemon zest, vanilla and a couple of tablespoons of sugar to the batter. And I used my stovetop griddle to make them, so it was fun making more than one at a time.

I had some extra batter left over and so Brian put it in a container in the fridge. I'd never saved batter before but the next day, we made some more using the leftover batter and they were as good as the first day. Brian was over the moon -- blueberry pancakes two days in a row! I had a lot of berries so after I poured the batter on the griddle, I added blueberries right on top of the pancakes where there were none in the batter. So those pancakes had blueberries in every bite. They were indeed delish.

OK, time to 'fess up', I guess.

When I make pancakes I use the Hungry Jack Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle mix. Just add water. OK, and also a bit of vanilla paste or zest.....but I just add a little of the mix and just enough water to get it as thick or thin as I want it.

If I'm making blueberry pancakes I just wash 'em and toss them into the batter and stir to coat. Truth be told, I usually have MORE blueberries than batter. Then spooned on to my heated / oiled 10" cast iron skillet and flipped when lightly browned. Too easy to make pancakes or waffles for one person, and tasty, too!

People can say what they want about Bisquick (or Hungry Jack Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle mix ) but you really can't tell when Bisquick is used. You can say you like one biscuit more or you think one biscuit is better than another but that's true of any biscuit made by someone else!

Like I said, I used Bisquick when I had to make homemade biscuits for Home Ec class in high school and bring one in the next day. Mine looked 10 times better than everyone elses did (it rose much higher but I then cut mine a bit thicker so they would look better). Sister said it was beautiful and tasty. Laughed and laughed as all my friends thought she would be able to tell!!!

Beth, I laughed out loud at your "confession"!!!

Breakfast is a wonderful meal to celebrate a birthday!  Tell Maria, "Happy Birthday ~ and many more!" from me.

I'm trying to start with a good serving of protein for my breakfast lately....got to give my metabolism a swift kick to maybe trick it into dropping a few pounds.  Being an old fat woman is no fun at all.....

A couple soft boiled eggs and a piece of toast ~

Those eggs look absolutely divine, Beth! Yum. Yep, a good protein-filled breakfast does indeed make me feel better and, I swear, gives me more energy.
