Quickie Hash Brown Dinner

I think my favorite thing about blogging is the fact that all my weird food and exercise rituals are validated by others that share the same! It appears as though most of you have the same love of pickles that I do. I am a dill girl through and through. I can NOT do sweet pickles. Oh and I love that some of you drank pickle juice...me too! I mean why not? It's just more of that good flavor! We recently tried the ones with tabasco in them and that jar did not last 2 days here. Those suckers were GOOD! The juice from that jar made a night dressing on my salads!

So, thank you to all of you for validating my freakdom...I guess we are all in the same club!

Last night was crazy town here. Jay had a band concert and ironically needed a new pair of black pants since he out grew the last pair I bought him in December! Well, not horrible grown out, but enough to make him uncomfortable and make me have to run around like a crazy lady all afternoon for another pair of pants. I LOVE TARGET. I know I'm not alone here, but I can't walk out of there without spending $70. Sadly, I bought nothing frivolous for myself...you know the usual, shampoo, soap, powder...how does this stuff all add up? Anyway, the good news is that he is growing...the bad news is that he only wore those pants once! Oh and for those of you out there that are going to have kids or who have young kids, yeah, you always hear about the NEED for things on an already busy day and these things are needed that day. Fun stuff. Mission accomplished though and the concert was great!

So, breakfast for dinner it was. The boys love hash browns and while I normally make them from scratch, I cheated and bought the frozen hash brown potatoes. These were so easy to cook and crisped up perfectly. Garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper make these babies perfectly seasoned! Next time I have more time, I am making these though!

This actually came together pretty quickly...thank goodness and since it was something everyone liked, it was eaten with no complaints. Oh and for those of you out there that like "over easy" eggs, but don't like having to flip them, just put a lid on the frying pan while you cook the egg on medium heat. It works, trust me. No flipping necessary. I cooked 6 eggs on the fly last night, so I needed to make it easy!

You know the rule here...they get bacon, so I get waffles or pancakes. Since I am loving nutritional yeast waffles lately...I opted for that so all I had to do was pour it in the waffle iron and walk away. 

I'm so looking forward to this weekend. I am meeting up with blog friends tomorrow, we have an outing to the Natural Foods Warehouse (I love that place) and a lunch with some friends today! Not to mention movie night with my boys tonight (Back To The Future!)!

What are you all up to this weekend? I hope fun stuff! For my friends on the West Coast please stay safe!
