FEBRUARY 2014 "What's for Breakfast & Lunch?

Gosh I may have FT too. I have half a loaf of raisin bread from my stuffed pork chops ..  

I'm having a dish of yogurt and blueberries this morning. I would guess Dane will want a couple eggs. Then, we'll be off for the day to help out at the Rotary fundraiser, the Home & Garden Show and Chili Cook-off. I have no idea what all they will wrangle us into doing. I do know I'm there to tabulate the votes for the 1st, 2nd & 3rd place displays and probably a couple other voting activities.

But, hey, with a chili cook-off going on, I know there will be lots of food to eat!

I had one potato left in the bag so I decided to stretch it for the two of us as hashbrowns for our breakfast.

LOL your eggs & toast look much better then mine..

but eggs in the hole are fun to make and eat!

Do you do like I do and grill one side of the toast, turn it over and then add the egg? If I don't my egg gets too well done because I want the toast to be grilled crispy.....oh, and how about when you have BIG eggs and they are too big for your toast? Man, those TV cooks make it look so easy.

copy cat @ Barbara..  and I followed Beth's instruction to the dots )   

very good - what a fun game we could start.....

LOL

But now the important question, Imelda....How did DH enjoy his creative breakfast?

Every time you make them they get more and more beautiful.....great job, Imelda.

I went back to your blog to see the original recipe again....SO clever, I might add ~ and I'm thinking just the cream cheese and chives and parmesan spread on the dough would be perfect for me since I have an aversion to the other cheeses. Now I'm really thinking of stealing your idea to try with mini size to take for appetizers when we have monthly patio parties.

I used the minestrone recipe as a list of suggestions and made chicken, bean and vegetable soup. I cooked some mixed beans in water, poached chicken breasts in chicken stock. Cooked onion, baby bok choy, garlic, carrots, potato, zucchini in olive oil until softened.  Added can of diced tomatoes,  chicken, chicken stock, a little beef stock, bay leaf, Parm. cheese rind and simmered about an hour. Tasted for salt.  Added cheese tortellini, cooked 7-10 minutes, removed bay leaf, served.

Norm ,,,looks   I just love this soup...

That looks like just the ticket for a cold winter day. I love the colors, it looks SO good. Very nice.

Breakfast I just had two scrambled eggs on a piece of German style dark rye bred.  Seeds in the bread!

Lunch will be chili made by my son a few days ago.  Gonna have the lunch in my condo.  Nope, haven't sold the farm yet, but am spending a little time in the condo.  Big day today, my sofa-bed is being delivered, so I will have something to sit on besides old lawn chairs.  Yeay!

Glad to hear things are OK with you Lore! With all the cold weather I've been thinking of you.

I ended up making some yogurt and fruit for a mid morning snack.

Poached eggs

"REAL" poached eggs.....

Good to hear from you Niagara..
Figured you must have been busy.
Enjoy that sofa bed. I know you will.

Take care, and God Bless.....enjoy the chili.

Thanks. I will enjoy it. The two young fellows that delivered it surely didn't enjoy it much! It is a heavy sucker, the elevator is not very big, and they ended up having to take the door into the condo off to get the thing in! I think if I ever move out, I will leave it, or take a chain saw to it!

Seven layer taco salad.

We went to the community monthly breakfast this morning - buffet at the local country club. The couple who organizes and makes the reservations were especially pleased to have the largest turnout of over 50 people from the 80 villas in our neighborhood. It's quite a change for most of us who moved from communities where you wave "hello" a couple times a year to just the neighbors on either side of your property.

This afternoon we're participating in a bowling "tournament" for the residents with a pizza/beer party afterward. It should be a hoot as Dane and I have not bowled in probably 40 years....when the bowling balls as well as the pins were wooden.....lol

Norm, your soup literally made my mouth water!

Imelda, your Cream Cheese, Chive and Cheese Buns look divine. I tried to copy the recipe from your site but it's kind of hard with the pictures in between the type. But I copied the whole thing and plan to print it out and then re-type the recipe without the pics.

Yummy!
