My Favorite Cup

So as promised I am making a variety of my breakfast this week.  The last couple of days have not been really that different from each other but are different from my norm.  Today is definitely different.  I had scrambled eggs, sausage (saw-sage) and toast with MY homemade blackberry preserves.

Breakfast: (10 PP)

-1/3c. Egg Beaters  (1 PP)

-2 ready to eat sausage patties (4 PP)

-2 slices of toast (4 PP)

-2 t. blackberry preserves (1 PP)

This was really good.  I will admit that it was the first time I have ever cook and eaten Egg Beaters.  I was a bit nervous about it but they were good.  Not the real thing of course, but I could definitely see myself eating them more.  This was not a low PP value breakfast like my cereal days but some days you just have to have a bit more in the mornings.  So raise your hand if you have figured out that I LOVE sausage....

Lovey Man and I were both going a little stir crazy since we had not been to the park this week.  So I decided we needed some out of the house time.  We went to the new local BBQ place and had lunch; then we went to the park.  Lovey Man was in an exploration mode; so he was wanting to look at all the trees and bushes, instead of play on the swings and slides.


Lunch: (18 PP)

-5 oz Pulled Pork (10 PP)
-1 T BBQ sauce (0 PP)
-1/4 c. green beans (0 PP)
-1/2 c. brunswick stew (2 PP)
-1 slice of bread (2 PP)
-8 french fries (4 PP)

Maybe not the smartest of lunches but sooo good!

No snack today...


I did have exercise.  Scooter had softball practice, I got to chase Lovey Man around the ball park.

Dinner was soooo good.  I smelled it cooking all day.  Knowing that we had to be a practice this afternoon, I put a roast in the crockpot. (recipe below)  It was nice be able to know exactly what we were going to have and not worry about it after practice was over.
