Breakfast for Dinner

We had breakfast for dinner twice this week and it’s always a hit other than with my oldest son and my husband, but they often make themselves a wrap or a sandwich or just do their own thing. When I got home from working outside the home one day this week it was toaster waffles (we used to have a waffle maker but we never used it and so we put it out at a yard sale we had when we lived in our previous house which was smaller than where we are now and now it’s a little exciting using the one at the buffet at a hotel breakfast during our occasional travels).

When those waffles pop up in the toaster the kiddos are thrilled and make syrup and whipped cream sandwiches and I could offer other fun toppings with fruit or protein packed spreads or other fun garnishes like chocolate chips or sprinkles but I am not that organized and usually when we do this we are running out the door to evening activities so maybe having more toppings is a goal or maybe it’s not. This meal brings the smiles for sure- even from my oldest son.

Then I try to make eggs when my oldest son is working because he’s not home for dinner then and eggs are not on his wishlist. Anyway, the current rage in our house are dippy eggs and if I can flip them and plate them without breaking the yokes I am the hero or the night. My third son even hopped on the toast-making station and my toast was served to me with pools of extra jelly and was absolutely fantastic!

Sometimes it really is the little joys to get the bellies full simply and move on. More smiles with those dippy eggs! Even one enjoyed by Mom!
