Bacon & Egg in Toast Cups

Bacon & Egg in Toast Cups

A few weeks ago, I made “the best breakfast casserole ever” so decided that I should do my best to see if I could top the amazingness of that breakfast in a totally different fashion!

These individual breakfast cups just may change the way that you see breakfast!

You will recognize all of the elements of these breakfast cups from your standard breakfast table (eggs, bacon, toast) but the presentation is what makes this breakfast special. No, this does not take much more time or effort than your traditional bacon & eggs with toast, the time/effort is just being used in different ways.

EASY & Delicious Broccoli Cheddar Soup

EASY & Delicious Broccoli Cheddar Soup

There’s a Storm ‘a Coming here on the East Coast (which always makes me want to sing “Comin’ a Terrible Storm”). Like usual when there is a Storm in the Forecast, the General Public is panicking and running out to stock up on everything they need for the end of the world (you know; water and bread and eggs and toilet paper). Now, in all honesty, the Weather Forecasters really don’t know where Sandy is going to track (not because they are bad at what they do, but just because it is unpredictable), but people want answers, so they keep on doing their best to come up with some forecast (and if you are like my parents you can watch the “Local on the 8’s” for hours on end so you really enjoy all those updates which really keep on repeating the same info that they [weather forecasters] are not sure about)

SO, while everyone is rushing out to the store, you can now stay in the comforts of your own house and enjoy some deliciously easy Broccoli Cheddar Soup (and if you need to run out to the store for any of these ingredients, good luck – but it is worth it for this soup)*. This soup has got to be one of the most delicious soups I have had in a while and it was so easy, and is actually a somewhat healthier version of this soup compared to some that I have seen out there!

Happy Fall, Happy Storm, Happy Halloween, Happy Whatever – because HAPPY is what you are going to be after eating this soup, so yes – you are welcome 🙂 Continue reading EASY & Delicious Broccoli Cheddar Soup
