Breakfast for...

Lunch? Dinner?

Tonight as I was putting dinner on the table, I realized that for breakfast we had frozen waffles, for lunch we had leftover french toast, and for dinner we were having pancakes. What variety! Now, I do occasionally serve breakfast foods for dinner. They are generally quick and easy, and the kids will eat them well. While Jack is out of town, I don't stress too much about what I make to eat. I let the kids pick most days. I just figure that it isn't worth the stress to cook a meal with hungry, cranky kids, then feed them and listen to them complain about the meal, and then have to clean up a big mess. Why bother? I don't even get to eat it hot, so no one will enjoy it! So this week the kids picked spaghetti, french toast, and pancakes, and one day I made baked potatoes. Now I know there are five days in a week, but the other meal must not have been too memorable.

Jack just got home, so I will be back to cooking real meals that adults enjoy. But in case you ever stop by for dinner when Jack is gone, you might want to call ahead or you will probably be eating breakfast for dinner!
