One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence. They're incomplete because I realized that we needed milk, eggs, or some other essential and I just forgot about it. There are so many explanations about why they're incomplete that I could devote an entire series of posts to that. Instead, I'd like to share a post from several years ago about how my kids messed up my grandmother's birthday dinner...

What I Like For Breakfast

Eggs over easy
A typical Saturday breakfast


Every once and a while I'm asked personal questions from readers. One is, "what do you like for breakfast?" I'm not exactly sure why people ask that question. However, it may be that breakfast is the great equalizer.
There are all of these variables that come up with lunch and dinner like time, menu and expense. However, breakfast is something that most people like simple and quick. It's not called "break fast" for nothing. In the morning we are HUNGRY so it is all about getting something we like in our bellies so that we can start our days.

Eggs Over Easy Make Me Happy


My breakfast choices have evolved over the years. I used to be a cereal kind of gal. However, I found that I was hungrier sooner than I'd like after eating cereal. I don't remember where my current breakfast choice originated. However, my favorite breakfast at the moment is "Two eggs over easy, turkey sausage or turkey bacon and toast". Most weekdays, I have only one egg and no meat. However, on the weekends or on vacation, when I have time to enjoy it, I'll have what's pictured below. I might even throw in some coffee on vacation.

Eggs over easy

For some unknown reason, I find myself drawn to coffee when I'm at a diner. At home, I drink tea. (One bag of Earl Grey and One bag of Green Tea to be exact). Sometimes I add some red onions and avocado. Sometimes the toast has butter and honey. Other times it just has butter. Occasionally, the toast has butter and jam. The one constant though are the eggs. Whether one or two they have to be over easy. If they are too hard I don't want them.  They must have salt and pepper and there must be toast.

The top photo shows a weekend breakfast when I try to change it up! It's got a crab scramble and avocado. I also tried to style the photo because I am a blogger! ;-)

Breakfast is so personal though. What's your favorite?!
