Never say never

I am a night person.  He is a morning person.  I like chocolate with nuts.  He says chocolate with nuts is contaminated.  He is a soldier and I love to be a girly girl. We are truly opposites and have conflict often and yet we are best friends. 

Imagine my soldier's surprise when he found me making breakfast this morning. Our youngest son once exclaimed, "It would just be nice if just once you would get up and make breakfast like a TV mom." Sad, but true.  I always made breakfast (cereal ;) ) when the kids were little. Over the years I have tried a few times to actually cook something.  This morning was one of those mornings because I found a recipe.  I would give credit for the recipe except I don't know where I saw it...so if I see it again.... I did not create this recipe. 

This recipe is four eggs and four oz. of cream cheese blendered.  That's it.  I used our blender and green non-stick pan.... tasty. 

 A little larger than silver dollar size works best
 One flip
 Topped with cherry raspberry rhubarb organic jam from Costco
Or make a savory flavor with cream cheese, smoked cheddar, and a few chives
Brenden (son number two)and Eric were carpooling today.  Brenden stopped in for a taste.... He didn't get much for breakfast growing up either.  But he approved.  We will make these again...next time topped with some bacon crumbles, too?
Flourless Crepes
four eggs
four oz. cream cheese
Place both ingredients and blender for about a minute.  Heat pan.  I can't imagine not using non-stick for this.  Watch for edges to look dry and flip once.  I did not use any salt or pepper. Pepper would be a nice addition but the savory toppings probably add enough salt. Enjoy!
Our other breakfast tradition for holidays is egg casserole.  I make it the night before (when I'm truly awake) to be popped in the oven in the morning by Bakery Boy when he is truly awake.... I'll share our gluten free version soon to be enjoyed for the upcoming holidays.
Never say never...
God Bless,
