A Simple Breakfast
Comments (15)Diningdelight, thank you. The reno is going slow, I still have not figured out how to get the last 2 pieces of "fake tile" board off the walls, plus I am still in the designing stage of figuring out the configuaration of the shelves to show off my dishes. Luvs and Mary, and Juciyfruit, thank you too! slinkey, Wow, I love all your dishes and you have them displayed so nicely. You can do beautiful setting with all the goodies you have. Love your collection of molds too. And definately do pretty setting just for you, enjoy what you own now, you will thank yourself for that later for sure. (and I think your rooster is very nice!) :) Karen, sure you can do tablesetting! I am not fond of doing alot of cooking either, but you can still take the food you purchased and put them on your plates and "pretty it up" just for you, that is what I do all the time, I just take the food out of the container and "poof" it up for a table setting just for little ol' me. :)...See MoreCost effective breakfast and lunch ideas
Comments (29)punamytsike, my kids are 15, 14, 12, 11 and 9...Plenty old enough to make their own breakfast...however, their attention to detail lacks a lot...plus they will make WAY too much if I am not there. By "attention to detail" lacking, I am referring to those important details like turning off the stove caps or oven...or taking the fork out of the bowl before putting it in the microwave. Or using the timer so that food doesn't burn. I have tried SO hard to teach them to pay attention to these things but after nearly 3 house fires, I had to make a "no baking for frying rule..." Especially since 4 of my 5 are up by 6:00 on the weekends and I don't get up until 7:30 or so. Their use of household appliances is limited to the toaster and microwave. I also have to set limits. Three waffles, one cup of juice and one cup of milk for breakfast. One banana. If I don't do this, one child will have 8 waffles and the late risers will get nothing. This makes it very difficult to buy in bulk. I shop often. No less than once per week...because if I shop for 2 weeks everything is still gone in one week. I blame this on the fact that I have 4 boys who could eat themselves through a brick wall. LOL! The macaroni dish is one my mother fixed when I was growing up. I have wanted to try it here but I'm afraid to. Two of my kids are very very picky...I think I'll try it this week though. I always LOVED that dish!...See MoreWhat kind of paint should I use to paint oak kitchen cabinets?
Comments (2)Do a search on the kitchen forum. I recall seeing quite a few threads where people who had painted their oak gave step by step details and advice. Good luck!...See MoreWhat's your comfort food?
Comments (38)If I’m sick, I want Campbell’s tomato soup, Nabisco saltine crackers, and a real Coke. Other than that, if I’m needing comfort almost anything creamy will do. 🙋🏻♀️ Another La Madeleine lover here! When I can calorically afford it, my favorite lunch is a chicken salad croissant with Strawberries Romanov for dessert. Ten or more years ago, they had a wonderful breakfast/brunch dish that was like potatoes au gratin with ham in it. It also had a large clove of garlic baked in the middle. I always just ate around the garlic. I took DD and a couple of her sorority sisters there for breakfast before they hit the road back to school. One of the girls ate the garlic in her dish. What a surprise!...See More
