Breakfast For Supper

What is it about having breakfast foods for supper that seems so wonderful and decadent? Often we'll rush through the morning and have a little cereal or a protein bar and won't sit down long enough to do more.

But come dinnertime, we love those special breakfast treats that we didn't have time for in the morning. Danny gave me a waffle maker (the spinning kind like they have at the hotel) for Christmas, and I'm absolutely in love with it! Even better than the restaurant, I'd say.

So why is breakfast for dinner so special?

* It's a comfort food. After a long day out in the world, what really compares to waffles and warm syrup, crisp bacon and gooey eggs?

* It's out-of-the-ordinary. Sometimes having "the usual" at an unusual time gets us out of a rut, lets us have a little fun and makes us feel like a kid again.

* There's actually time to enjoy it. I don't know about you, but we don't normally have time to pull out the waffle maker or fry bacon before Danny goes to work in the morning. But in the evening, it's a little more relaxing and we can make it an event.

So what's your favorite breakfast-for-dinner meal? There's lots to choose from!

* The traditional: bacon, eggs, pancakes, waffles
* The sweet: doughnuts, cinnamon rolls, powdered sugar on everything
* The elegant: quiche, fruit
* The old-fashioned: monkey bread, eggs-in-the-hole, sausage bake, coffee cake

Holland Creme - That Amazing White Stuff In Donuts

Image
I remember going to the grocery store every Saturday morning when I was growing up, and my favorite place in the entire store was the donut case. All the glazed, powdered and filled baked goods drew me like a magnet. My favorites, far and away, were the ones filled with that beautiful white, fluffy creme. At the time I didn't know it was called Holland Creme - I just knew it was the most amazing concoction ever. Ever. Here is my version of this sweet treat. You can make your own fried donuts and fill them, or like I did here, you can cut a crevice into store-bought donuts with a knife and fill them with creme in a piping bag. Either way, you're going to love it. Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup shortening 1 cup butter 1 Tbsp vanilla 7 cups powdered sugar 1. Make a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat until boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool complet

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee

Crafts For Teen Girls To Make

Image
In our teen girls Bible study, we're studying our way through the Proverbs 31 woman and it's been such a blessing to me, as I hope it's been to them. Every month we spend an afternoon or an evening together studying Scripture, making something amazing in the kitchen and creating something that corresponds to the verse we're in. Choosing the crafts each time can be a challenge for several reasons. It needs to be something they can completely finish (or do most of) because once they leave they're probably not going to work on it themselves - that's just the nature of teenagers. Remember? It also needs to be a project that keeps they're attention, is age-appropriate and is cool enough that they'll want to keep it or give it to someone special. But hey, no pressure on the Bible study leader, right? Here are just a few of the projects we've done together in the year we've been meeting. * This month's craft will be the adorable cross stit
