Breakfast

For some reason eggs-n-a basket taste better to kids then just eggs and toast. Maybe it has to do with frying it in butter with salt and pepper. I just know they scarf them down super fast. It's not just my kids. Dori's kids loved them, daycare kids used to like them, and when Ronnie was little he loved them. I tried oatmeal again the other day. I added apple syrup, raisins, and brown sugar. Schyler was the only one who ate it. The other 3 would not touch it. They never liked baby cereal either. We make alot of egg nog shakes. The boys love egg nog. They prefer it cold. If you'd like the shake without adding eggnog, just add cinnamon and nutmeg. It will give it that flavor.
Eggnog:
2 eggs beaten
3 T. sugar
2 1/3 c. milk
1t. vanilla
nutmeg and cinnamon
Heat milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla in saucepan on low heat just until warm. Take about 1/2 cup of the warm milk out and add to eggs. Whisk eggs into the rest of the milk. Heat a few more minutes. Keep whisking. I like to add to my blender and mix for a few seconds or use my hand blender. Cool or serve warm.

  2. I like to make eggs in a basket often. Would you believe Nathan hadn't had them until I moved here? Deprived!
