Heat and stir on stove top. It takes about 8 minutes overall and I find it best to beat the egg well before putting in the pan. You can sub 1/4 maple syrup for the brown sugar and it's just as yummy. This makes a hearty long lasting breakfast with just enough proteins to carry.

Works perfectly and now I can choose what size jar to mess up! I am very pleased with this. Thank you so much for mentioning it to me!!<br /><br />Tracey, I haven't made pizza at home in a little while but you're right it's a good way to get a good vegetable pizza. I make my own crust from scratch and no recipe and it's always good. I shall have to add this to my 'at home' menu.<br /><br />Mabel I will try a combination of yours and Chef Juls technique for getting more use from my tea bags. I have really enjoyed that hot cup of tea and though I used decaf coffee after lunch and limited it to just one cup, I find the hot tea doesn't keep me awake at all as coffee sometimes might. I don't need help NOT sleeping, lol.<br />terricheneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865436021565986224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-76992943329318624132017-01-30T12:29:08.496-05:002017-01-30T12:29:08.496-05:00I pound out or marinate the cheap chicken breasts....I pound out or marinate the cheap chicken breasts. You didn't say if you did the tea on the stove or microwave. I use mine 3 times unless they are green or herbal and then those are twice. I boil the herbal and green tea always on the stove and let them steep 5 min. I use a small water kettle that is about 20 oz. The other tea I do in the microwave most times the 3rd time I nuke 2 min and let it sit a min . You can check, when I broke my blender jar I used a regular mouth canning jar. All sizes worked.<br />Love your blogchefjulsowingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780564632936577310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-49780499115063014422017-01-29T20:14:50.032-05:002017-01-29T20:14:50.032-05:00Hi Terri,

So simple yet... beautiful. Thanks for sharing your little stories and observations. (You remind me of Mike as he too somewhat is fascinated by old graveyards and reading headstones.)<br />Looking forward to reading more!<br />Warmly,<br />Tracey<br />XoX<br />P.S. Was wondering if you make pizza at home much? It's a great vegetarian meal and fairly easy if you make your dough in the bread machine! We even used to freeze the pizza dough and shredded mozzarella (from Costco) for easy pizza nights! Now that I stay away from bread I sometimes use sprouted tortillas as my crust...these turn out surprisingly good...and I often jarred spaghetti sauce as our base!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-84792300672317354522017-01-29T16:09:28.949-05:002017-01-29T16:09:28.949-05:00That is so exciting about the tax fund!

The first two use new bags and the third uses the two teabags I used and saved from earlier in the day. It works out well. Small savings, to be sure, but every little bit helps.Mablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13889546378268171918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-89548111497203144072017-01-28T10:42:01.242-05:002017-01-28T10:42:01.242-05:00Gramma D-My Mother keeps showing up in my mirror! ...Gramma D-My Mother keeps showing up in my mirror!

Just can't figure it out. LOL. When they took hubbys pic at the Dr's office she told him how nice it looked. When i asked her if i had mine taken yet, she looked, laughed and said "yours doesn't look so good". Would be interested in reading how you do your genealogy research. Something i would like to get started on sometime. I see you mentioned birthday. Hope you have or had a wonderful one.

I am always amused at how the forecast changes online as the day progresses so that it matches the actual weather.<br /><br />I only spent $60 on groceries this month and many budget categories have a lot of extra money left this month. I will roll all the extra into medical bills. Since we started out on 12/27 we have two years deductibles and out of pocket maximums to meet. Ouch! My husband paid all but about $600 of it today. We had thought to trade cars this month since we have enough money saved but we will see. God always provides in amazing ways!<br /><br />Tonight I cut a large lemon and squeezed only about a teaspoon over my fish at dinner. Instead of putting the leftover lemon in the fridge to find rotten in the back of a shelf I made a pint of lemonade for tomorrow. I wish I had thought to do this a long time ago.<br /><br />We paid our neighbor boy to do some yard work this week and it was money well spent. We needed to have the yard cleaned up of downed limbs from the snowstorm and the French drains along the front of the house were clogged with leaves. <br /><br />I know you will be glad to have the carpet finished. Our kids went on and on about the difference in our house with all the new flooring while they were home for Christmas. Our kitchen renovation is a year old now and I do not regret at all choosing laminate counters. I am not a fan of granite and did not want to put it in my house. I am happy to report that I do not have a single scratch on the laminates!
