A lazy Sunday breakfast


Today I slept in. Doesn't happen often because I've been so stressed causing my body to get up at all different ungodly hours. It is amazing how when stressed the body, well, at least my body, doesn't allow itself the rest it needs to help cope with that stress. I woke up and my daughter was already up playing on the computer. God knows what time she got up. Guess I'll know by the time the whining stage starts tonight. When I finally strolled downstairs at 9:30 she was sitting there asking to feed the cat and for her own breakfast. That is when I noticed another thing lack of sleep causes: stupid mistakes. At the store yesterday I bought her cherry toaster strudels instead of strawberry. I didn't tell her and she didn't mention it but she must have noticed something because four bites in she said she was full.

Then onto breakfast for myself and my wife. Today's culinary day starts with fried meat, fried potatoes, and fried eggs.  I never told anyone that this blog was going to feature healthy food. Remember those failures I mentioned in the introduction, nothing like day one to showcase one.  Luckily both plates didn't end up failures.  
The picture on the left is the failure. That ended up being mine.  The egg stuck to the causing the yolks to break and not be "pretty" also on mine is Sriracha, or as I like to call it, the greatest sauce in the history of man. Both plates are similar with the sauce being the main difference. This is a simple yet delicious to make that is sure to please the meat eater in your life. Both plates taste delicious, the only failure is really the appearance. 

Fry the bacon until just barely crispy. Today I used uncured applewood smoked bacon, but any will do.  As the bacon is frying, microwave one more potato than people you are serving. For example today this was for my wife and me so I nuked three spuds. Dice the potatoes and some Spanish onions. Fry the potatoes and onions in the bacon fat until brown. At the end crumble the bacon into the potatoes and serve with a fried egg on top. When the yolk is broken and it coats the potatoes, there truly is nothing more warming on a great morning with the family. 

Debated on whether to put these blogs out as daily entries or as I type them.  Two responses on Facebook said as I write them so that is what you get for now. What do y'all think? This is also my first time posting from my iPad so I hope the format comes out okay. 

What is your favorite breakfast to make your family?

  1. I just discovered Sriracha sauce this year. Love it on an omelet with Asian mushrooms and finished with scallions and a little soy sauce.

  2. Awesome, I love it as a replacement for normal tobasco or Franks. I find it has much more flavor.
