Breakfast menus are on my hit listing. What is improved than fresh new, steaming pancakes or buttery biscuits straight from the oven topped with sausage gravy?
My mom had a breakfast specialty: Gold Rush Brunch, which she would make with levels of scrambled eggs, sausage, cheese sauce and shredded potatoes. Then there were being those unusual events when we little ones cheered with delight when she built an egg in a nest for each and every of us.
Some mornings we experienced handmade or keep-boughten cereals. To us, selfmade chocolate cake and chopped strawberries was a strike with practically any cereal.
For a while, for the duration of my teenager years, I’d make breakfast on Tuesday and Friday mornings. Etched in my brain is the second I stepped onto the entrance porch in crisp dawn of the working day to fetch the substantial pan of enchiladas I experienced made the night in advance of. They had been all completely ready to slide in the oven.
At very first as my eyes swept the scene just before me, it didn’t even register what I was observing. There was the empty cake pan licked out as cleanse as a 4-footed creature could lick on the discovery of a fresh new breakfast. This distinct casserole I understood would be a handle to my brothers and mom and dad, so I had taken the time the night prior to to brown the sausage and place it all with each other so it is prepared to provide by 7 a.m.
Just after staring at the pan for various seconds, I gingerly picked it up and took it indoors. So, for that early morning, the pet which skillfully snatched the casserole from the shelf bought enchiladas in its place of the Raber loved ones. And no, I do not recall what I manufactured as a replacement.
My mom recalls oven-baked french toast as the initially breakfast dish I made. It was the initial of lots of mornings with this very simple but yummy breakfast deal with.
It just dawned on me that 14 several years ago just before Daniel and I started out dating, their household from the Amish local community in Danville, Ohio, were being at our property for the evening and the upcoming morning we served overnight french toast with kielbasa! At that time I experienced no strategy of his programs to check with me to get started a friendship with him. For only a working day, I’d like to go back … no, I’ll hold him as hubby!
Daniel has always been a breakfast lover as nicely. His all-time preferred is pancakes with peanut butter and lots of real maple syrup alongside with some type of meat like bacon or sausage patties.
With me being a fruit lover, I was fairly impressed with a new way of eating pancakes when I was 6 years outdated. An Amish 14-year-old boy, from Holmes County, Ohio, who stayed with us a several months though supporting to create our new household, introduced us to these cherry jubilees. On prime of every pancake we’d put a dollop of cherry pie filling, some whipped product and maple syrup.
Dad’s mom, who handed away many yrs back, beloved to make pancakes for us if we’d end by their house on Sunday midday. With no fall short, she’d have vanilla ice cream downstairs in her freezer that she’d serve with her pancakes.
