Adding Variety to Breakfast!

Do you ever get bored with breakfast? I mean how many times a week can you have waffles or pancakes (which are pretty much the same thing!)?  I was tired of having the same things... waffles, eggs, pancakes, cereal, oatmeal... so I decided to try something new, and this is what I came up with.

Stuffed Biscuits!

 

 Just in case you, too, were bored with breakfast I decided to blog about how to make them. There are probably a million ways you could do these... okay, maybe that's an exaggeration, but there are several ways you could change up this recipe to meet the needs of your family, or use left overs...

 

 

You need:

 

Biscuit dough (I used homemade wheat biscuit dough, but refrigerated would work perfect, get the big ones!)

eggs ( I used 3 and made 4 biscuits, adjust for the number you are making)

a little milk

a little pancake mix

breakfast meat (I used sausage left over from our homemade pizza! bacon would be yummy too!)

CHEESE!

Hash browns might also b good in this, I just used scrambled eggs though...

 

First get out your biscuits and spread them thin...

Then make your scrambled eggs.  I used three eggs, added a dash of milk and about 3 tablespoons of pancake mix to make yummy, fluff eggs. Scramble over medium high and add your meat, and some grated cheese. Stir, and add more cheese!  Yum!

Divide your egg mixture for the number of biscuits you are making spoon it on top of your biscuits.

Stretch the biscuit over the egg mixture and pinch together.

Flip your stuffed biscuit over so the pinched together sides are facing your baking sheet.

Pop in the oven at 450 for about 12 minutes.

Top with  more grated cheese and enjoy!

I think this would also be tasty with some sausage gravy on top.  You could also make a bunch of these and freeze them to zap in the microwave when you a quick yummy breakfast! Enjoy!

 



Diapers...

OK, I know a bunch of you thought I was crazy when I said I was going to use cloth, but I really, really love it! Here are some reasons I love my cloth diapers...

1-) They are sooo much cuter than disposables! He has airplanes diapers, so cute!

2-) He has less diaper rashes. In fact Jeremiah has only had one diaper rash since we started using cloth.

3-) If he decides to poop or pee right after I change his diaper I haven't wasted 15 cents, I can just wash it and use it again.

4-) Yes my water bill was $7 more last month, but I washed about 360 diapers, which would have cost about $54 dollars. That's a savings of $47 dollars every month... so my diapers will pay for themselves in about 4 months... AWESOME!

5-) I only have to take the trash out of Jeremiah's room about once a month. When we were using disposables it had to be emptied at least once a week. (that means we are saving money on trash bags too!)

6-) I can choose how absorbent I want his diapers to be. Just add a prefold or a doubler and I don't have to worry about leaks when he sleeps 11 hours at night.

7-) I love how the sun takes the stains out. Its been 3 months and we still have white diapers.

8-) I like feeling a bit "old fashioned." Or maybe it's just that I don't like following the crowd. how many mom's do you know that grind wheat, bake bread and use cloth diapers?

9-) His pants fit better. Jeremiah has a really long body, but short legs and a little bum, so his pants look huge when he wears disposables, and sometimes they fall down.

10-) I was trying to think of ten reasons, and I'm sure there is one more somewhere in my brain... but for now 9 will have to do!

Coming soon is a "how to" post for cloth diapers, and which ones are my favorites!
