I’ll admit it. Sometimes I can be rather lazy. I don’t always feel like making breakfast in the morning. And on the days I have to work, sometimes I don’t have time to make breakfast. When that happens, I usually end up stopping somewhere and buying something for breakfast. There’s a Panera Bread next to my job. The missing persons search can be called off. She’s at Panera Bread. Ha, I even go there for lunch sometimes.  I’m surprised they don’t know me by name yet. Or maybe they do. At least they do when they swipe my little Panera card.

I found the remedy to not having time to make breakfast in the morning. Make it ahead of time! Simple recipes like this Sausage Egg and Cheese Quiche Tart, this Breakfast Egg Bake Casserole and this Tomato, Bacon and Spinach Quiche have come to the rescue many times.

Sausage Egg and Cheese Quiche Tart

Hey so what did you do this past weekend? I enjoyed not having to do any school work. The semester is over and I am free at last…free from school work until January! I didn’t really do anything productive this weekend, minus putting a few bookcase shelves together that I bought at Target. I put two in our bedroom as bedside tables and one in my living room to fill in some empty space. They look pretty nice. Our little house is coming together. Well, it isn’t that small but it isn’t huge either. OH. I also picked up some paint samples because I think we are going to paint the walls soon. I am sick of off white. I’m thinking a light tan will work perfect in our house!
