a fun way to have eggs


To go along with the breakfast pizza, I made another entree from Giada's Breakfast in Bed menu, Lemon and Basil Eggs over Foccacia. (We ate ours at the table though. I didn't think it was worth the mess my 2 year old would make eating in bed this time. Although I am getting an idea for an indoor picnic dinner as I write.)

I made no changes to this recipe. It's easy and doesn't take much time to assemble. We all liked it well enough...my husband actually went back for seconds which is rare for him. He typically doesn't eat very much. My daughter enjoyed her piece too. It was a fun, out of the ordinary way to serve eggs to her. I thought it was okay, but nothing I would call fantastic and I usually only make things I think are incredible more than once so this probably won't be making it to our dinner table again, but I'm glad I gave it a try once.

Come to think of it, we really don't have meals we have on a regular basis at our home when it comes to dinner. I am always finding new recipes to try so it's almost always something we've never had before. Some things make a repeat appearance the following week or so, and then usually aren't seen again. Maybe through this blog adventure we'll find things we want to bring back again and again...mmm...my first thought it the Ultimate Chicken Parmesan. (My husband asked for that again a few days ago. So good.)

So what are your family staple meals? (If there are any readers out there.) :-)
