First of all, I have to start out by saying I had my first cup of coffee today! I know, its weird to be 40 and to not have had a cup of coffee. I have tried it over the years, but I would take a sip, …
Frequently for me, my biggest meal of the day is breakfast. I love a big breakfast. And even though I have a very hectic morning, I try to plan ahead for the next morning. Like last night, I knew I wanted to make scrambled eggs and have …
