Breakfast for…DINNER!

I’ve been known to do a few kooky things in my life (as the other broads can attest), and I have to admit that I like to think OUTSIDE the box. I know, it’s daring and impressive and pretty amazing, but hey, that’s the kind of broad I am. And what’s more, I like to take this approach to the kitchen, with exciting results.

The other night I was feeling a little stagnant in the dinner department, and all I really wanted was a nice, comfortable meal to settle in with. What to do, what to do? I’d already made a delicious stew that week, to rave reviews, as well as homemade macaroni and cheese and all of my other award-winning meals, so, as much as I hate to admit it, I was at a loss.

UNTIL. Until I had what can only be described as an earth shattering revelation: what I really wanted, what my family NEEDED was breakfast….FOR DINNER. I know, it’s a pretty revolutionary concept, but think about it for a second: breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so what NOT have it for dinner? That way you get TWO most important meals in ONE DAY.

My family understandably had some reservations, but once we got started, it became more and more obvious that this was pretty much the best idea since…well, in the history of the human race, I guess.

First, of course, we started with eggs:

Which came first?

You obviously can’t have any sort of breakfast without eggs. I prefer them scrambled, so obviously my family does as well. So let’s whip them up!

Beaten, not stirred

They already look scrumptious.

Once you have your eggs beaten, now it’s time to really go off the map. Bear with me, I promise you’ll thank me later (you know you always do).

What's red and white and yellow all over?

YES. You put things IN your eggs. That is what I am telling you right at this moment. I prefer tomato, cheese, and, if I’m particularly daring, onions and hot peppers. Trust me, no eggs on earth have ever been made this way before, but you will never look at these little protein filled yolk sacks the same way again. It is revolutionary, as promised.

Now hold on, don’t get too excited. Just because your eggs are being cooked in a new and miraculous way, that doesn’t mean you’re done. Breakfast for dinner doesn’t consist of just eggs, you know. There are other things to consider. So you need to assemble the other components WHILE cooking the eggs. A challenge, I know, but I feel like at this point you’re up to it.

The way to start your night off right!

And when you finish toasting your organic, homemade wheat bread and frying up that freshly butchered bacon , toss them on to a plate next to those delicious yolk sacks and look at the clock. What’s that? Why, it’s DINNER TIME and not BREAKFAST? Yes, yes it is, and you know what? Your culinary world will never be the same.

Enjoy!
