We don't (and can't) eat like this every day.
But every now and then (usually on weekends so that Adam & Amy Kikita can be here) we make it a point to sit down to a crazy-abundant-is-that-real-bacon breakfast.
Breakfast is my favorite meal to eat out. And in typical Gemini fashion, it's my favorite meal to eat at home.
(NOTE: I don't really believe in horoscopes and all that, but it serves my purpose for this particular post to illustrate the whole eating out/eating in, Gemini/twin thing , but that's not important right now.)
The coffee was hot.
The juice was cold.
The pancakes were fluffy.
The French Toast was thick.
The bacon was crispy.
The conversation was lively.
The family was satisfied.
Success!
You wish you were here, don't you? 😉
I wish I was there ALL THE TIME!!!LOL!!!!I can eat breakfast anytime of the day, and
when ever we go to IHOP or Denny’s, I never
open the menu passed breakfast, no matter what
time of the day it is. And I’m not a Gemini, but
I am a Libra, and although I don’t believe in all
that either, I do like to keep it balanced. 😉 LOL!!!
Ileana,We use the Hormel microwave bacon. It’s more expensive but because we only eat it on special occasions, it’s worth it to save the mess. http://tinyurl.com/av2ypd
Adriana,We do use Bisquick for the pancakes but with a few tricks:
1) I separate the eggs and beat the whites til fluffy before adding.
2) I also add buttermilk for flavor.
Amanda,The key to the French Toast is to get…(wait for it)…French Toast bread. It’s extra thick and already has a maple flavor.
I just can’t post any food without a recipe, can I? *sigh* =D
I do!Can you send me the recipe for the French Toast, and the pancakes? They look delish!
Yes, can you fax me some of those pancakes…they look amazing and I love crispy bacon. I was late getting up today so it was cafe con leche and cuban bread toast for me only. I think I am going to get a huge cuban sandwich for lunch to make up for it.
I do too!Breakfast is my favorite meal to eat out too, but God I hate making breakfast….unless it’s Sunday. I’d rather just grab a snack bar with some oj and coffee and keep going. See my husband likes breakfasts like yours on a daily basis. I’m just not a breakfast person!
Do you make the pancakes from scratch or use Bisquick? I think I know the answer……
How do you get that bacon to look all pretty like that? I cook mine in the oven (I hate having to clean up bacon splatter!) and it just doesn’t come out that way. Of course, it doesn’t stop my guys from eating it! Any-hoo, great looking breakfast. We love our Sunday breakfasts here too!
Like the fluffy trick!!!! I will definitely try that. Thanks!
