I came home from walking the other morning and I was starving. I thought eggs in a blanket sounded good but I need cornbread to make them.

When I got my container down with my measuring cups I found I was avoiding the green measuring cups. I even picked up the 1/3 of a cup which I needed and put it back in the container. Bam, the light came on just like in the comics. I was avoiding the green cups because I don’t like them anymore. I realized it was time to get rid of them because:

1.I didn’t like them anymore
2.They didn’t make me happy to use them
3.I avoided using them
4.They were just taking up space which was clutter in my cupboard

This is a good rule of thumb to follow if you have things you are keeping that you don’t like, don’t use, and it doesn’t light you up; donate the item to charity or toss if it is not fit to be used anymore.

Quick Recipe for Eggs in a Blanket:
In a frying pan (spray with a non stick vegetable spray or add 1 to 1½ T. olive oil)
Put in ½ cup salsa (no need to measure, use as much as you like) and with a spoon make a little nest
Crack 2 eggs (more if you want) into the center of the nest
Crumble cornbread all around on top (I make my cornbread in muffin tins and freeze them so I can take one out at a time to use).
Sprinkle on top 2 T cheese of choice
Put a lid on the pan and cook on medium until done.

Yummy and quick. There is a ‘real’ recipe for this but it involves cutting up tomatoes, peppers and onions so I do it the fast way. Do you have a quick breakfast recipe you would like to share?
