Grilled Cheese with Bacon and Fried Egg



Happy Wednesday! :) Didn't autumn come in nicely? I do wish it was cooler - mid-80s is hot in the sun! - but it's going to be a lovely fall!

So, today's recipe review is for Grilled Cheese with Bacon and Fried Egg from Simply Cooking.

Let's see. I always cut my bacon package in half; it helps us eat less - but I do use thick-cut bacon. :D I used 2 full strips - three halves on my sandwich, and one to munch. :DI used my low-carb bread, and was a little apprehensive about how it would hold up to the substantial sandwich. But it did great! :) Oh, and I used 2% American instead of cheddar. With the butter, I didn't want the extra fat cheddar gives off. :D

This was a YUMMY breakfast. I had some hash browns to finish up, so I just made them and threw 'em on my plate. :D That SANDWICH!!!! Oh, my. I've made myself rather hungry... :D

OK, my friend. I'm going to post this now! Have a wonderful day! Be BLESSED!

Hash Brown Waffles


Welcome to Monday! :)

So, I got a chance to make brunch for Kenn and me a few weeks ago; this is one of the things I made - Hash Brown Waffles from Tea & Cookies. (For those of you who don't come to the blog often, just click on the name of the blog, and it will open another window with the blog directly to the recipe!)

Now, I used Simply Potatoes instead of taking the time to do my own. I didn't add the onion, but added onion powder. I should have taken the time to done some onion, but the flavor was OK with the powder. :)

The biggest PRO about this recipe? Not having to babysit them on the cooking surface. I always seem to have twenty things that need my attention at the same time, and doing the hash browns this way was SO much easier. Then, there's the fact that you could add just about anything you wanted in the waffle iron, too. So super easy to do!

The con? I like having a crispy outside and a tender inside, but these were mostly crispy. I tried adding more potatoes, but it just squished them flatter. :) It was quite a conversation-starter, though! :D

OK, friend. Thank you for coming to the blog today! Let me know what you're trying new, or what you're best find is from recent memory. :D Have a wonderful day - be BLESSED!
