We were suppose to have ribs last night but I forgot to lay them out to thaw in time. We buy riblets in a case for $1 a pound. So you have to thaw them well as they are frozen in a big lump. With this not the case, I needed a plan and QUICK! It was 4:00pm, after all.
I thought of spaghetti but knew the family wasn't in the mood for pasta. "How about a breakfast supper?", I asked self. Self answered, "Yep and you know you like cooking big so why not think ahead and cook some for the morning." EUREKA! Why not for a FEW mornings.
So, the flour slinging began. Bethany and Brittany fried bacon. I made up two batches of muffins (lemon poppy seed, blueberry and chocolate chocolate chip). I made homemade biscuits. I made a huge skillet of sausage gravy. I fried eggs. Brittany cooked a pot of grits. We feasted. It was good and set like a rock.
The cost for the full meal was $15.50. This is for one supper and three breakfasts (at least).
I now have leftovers in the fridge for at least three mornings of breakfast. This morning I took out the leftover biscuits and gravy. I heated up hubby's breakfast in a bowl and served with a kiss and a smile. He returned a kiss and a smile. All were happy. "I see this happening more often", says wife. "Okay", says husband.
The End.

Awesome!! How did you like those lemon poppy seed muffins? I never thought of making a big batch of sausage gravy and warming it!
Hi Susan,
This is smart thinking. I never really cooked breakfast either when our boys were young. We usually had cereal.
Love reading about your days.
Love ya friend,
Cathy
I don't like making breakfast either! Cooking ahead like that is a great idea. I make granola and have that a lot of the time for myself! Nancy
April, the muffins were really good, especially with the blueberries and lemon together. Yummy! Gravy warms over well.
Cathy, now I don't feel so bad about not cooking breakfast a lot. :D It's so good to see you here. Give that grandbaby some kisses for me! Susan
Nancy, I am glad to have like company. :D I enjoyed seeing your starts on your blog. Now, we have a lot in common. :D I could garden first thing any day.
Susan
April, the above was me on Samuel's account. I keep doing that. :D
Susan
Yes, don't feel bad. Pick your battles and if making breakfast is not your favorite, that's just fine.
Tomorrow baby Grayson will get a kiss from you!!
Love ya,
Cathy
Great idea. God bless.
