WEATHER: Super windy. Sunny. Highs in upper 70s
We packed up from Lawrence and drove 285 miles north. We are "headin' home". The winds were super strong. Since they were coming from the south, our gas mileage improved!
We drove through Kansas, Nebraska, far western Iowa, then back to Nebraska. Sioux City is in Iowa; South Sioux City is across the Missouri River in Nebraska.
George received some nice calls for his birthday. We will celebrate when we are in Rochester.
Today's topic is breakfast. .... On most days, we have some type of egg dish: scrambled or poached. I try to buy wholesome bread, and we have the eggs with toast. While in Texas, I often made breakfast egg roll-ups with tortillas. Sometimes we do breakfast paninis with meat, cheese, and scrambled eggs. Once in a while, we have grits on the side. Occasionally, French toast. While in the land of plentiful and inexpensive avocados, sometimes we made a spread for toast. Here is one breakfast dish....eggs over easy with toast
On days that we are traveling (like today), we do something quick. I have cereal and George has oatmeal with nuts and dried fruits. We have switched to almond milk which has more calcium and fewer calories.
While in Texas, we had sweet Texas grapefruit for breakfast. Sometimes we have kiwi, oranges, or bananas.
And of course, always coffee!
If anyone has any menu suggestions, I would love to hear from you!
We arrived a bit late this afternoon in the campground. We took a short walk, but it is so windy. We did not unhook the camper, as we are leaving tomorrow.
DINNER: Leftover spaghetti to which I added bits from the refrigerator ....mushrooms, onions, scallions, garlic and meatballs.
Hi. Send us an email at jenton@eastlink.ca and we will send you a rough idea of out itinerary for this summer. We are leaving Nova Scotia on May 10. Also some recipes!
ReplyDeleteMy current favorite egg dish: Wilt two or three generous handfuls of spinach, chard, or arugula in a skillet with a couple of teaspoons of oil. Scramble in four eggs seasoned with salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Just before eggs are set add some cheese. The recipe calls for Parmesan, but I usually use feta and I used Swiss once, Voila! Gourmet breakfast for two.
