No, I was not eaten by wild animals nor did I fall off the edge of the planet. Yes, it has taken a little while longer than I expected (okay a LOT longer than I expected) to recoup from the holidays and post again. I’m doing fine as things go. I’m due in 13 days and that’s about 20 days too many for me but I suppose I’ll survive. About two months ago I came home from an OB appointment and Ethan ran up to me and gave me a hug and said “I love you Mommy. Did the doctor give you something to make you nice again?” From the mouths of babes huh. Poor Jon just sat there trying to be invisible because he wasn’t sure if I would laugh, cry, or what in response to that comment. Oh, the joys of the hormonal rollercoaster ride called pregnancy. Luckily for the males of this household, Jon has noted that I’ve been doing much better since then and he’s just crazy enough not to lie to a pregnant woman about such matters.
Okay, down to business. Are these not the cutest deviled eggs you’ve ever seen? Come on, you know they are. I know they have nothing to do with breakfast, but they were too cute to not do before Easter. Besides, they’re eggs, that goes….kind of. I saw a picture in a magazine a while back and finally got around to trying it. They’re not much more difficult than regular deviled eggs and look how cute! It took about 2 min to make the chick and 1 for the basket so I wouldn’t recommend making fifty of them, but a few of them stratigecally placed on a tray of regular deviled eggs would be perfect for a party.
So, Jay mentioned that it might be nice to have a little variety in the foods they ate but that sometimes it’s hard to think of things to make on a budget. I told him I’d do a few posts on foods we eat to give some ideas of budget friendly foods. Some of them we eat more often, some are more budget friendly, some take less time and some are healthier than others, but variety is good and sometimes just having a list of ideas helps get us out of a rut. Obviously this first post is breakfast oriented-feel free to post any other ideas-and the next few will be….something else. (Why buck tradition and plan ahead right?) So for directions to these deviled eggs and some breakfast ideas and recipes….
