Meals.

Part of why I wanted to start this blog was to help keep me on track with meal planning. I have all our dinners planned through February. I'll type them up eventually.

Yesterday we bbq'd with my husband's brother which was nice. So there wasn't a plan for dinner. But we did make breakfast yesterday.

A typical breakfast on days my DH is off is some sort of potato with eggs. It is his job to make the potatoes, he is just so much better at it than I am! The eggs are a pretty simple mix. We make 4 eggs for the three of us, scrambled with some cheddarwurst sausage (Hillshire Farms in the "U" not the regular hot dogs, there is a huge difference) and a little cheese thrown in at the end.

Here are the eggs! Note we were boiling the second pot of water for our french press, we were rebels and stayed up a little late for New Year's.


Here are my husband's potatoes. He did the easy route today with homefries. There is an onion in there, some red and russet potatoes, butter and spices. We normally swear by Cavender's but were out this morning.

What I did have planned for today was a slow cooker meal. I needed to use the last bits of the Christmas ham, so I am doing my absolute favorite slow cooker meal! Smoky Split Pea Soup! Normally I use the ham hocks it calls for, but I made this with the leftover ham last year and it was just as delicious. Although, I don't feel the celery adds anything so I have just started adding an extra carrot. I'd never had split pea soup before this recipe, and apparently my husband was not a fan - but we both like this! I will serve it with some garlic rolls I have from the freezer. Josephine did like this at some point, but her tastes are always changing so we will see how it goes.

And here's a sneak peek! Mmmmm...
