The Day After The Feast

One of our favorite times of the year is the morning after Thanksgiving day.  All of the dishes have been done and put away.  Family is no longer fighting for the best part of the turkey and best of all the football games are over and done with so everyone can once again become as close to normal as they usually are.
Really though the reason we like the morning after is because breakfast is our favorite meal and to be able to share it with family once in a while is a real treat.  So here we sit, scrambled eggs on the plates, a slice of ham on the the serving tray and a huge side order of hash brown potatoes just waiting to be devoured.
Now that's what we call living and hope that you do too.

Sit down now and put the napkin on your lap or just tuck it into the shirt collar and dig in.  Nobody is looking beyond their own plates right now so just enjoy.

Happy Eating to All... and now I think it might just be nap time again.  What do you think?

Southern Fried Beans

I tried this recipe on a Doctor friend of mine the other day. Although he said "I can hear my arteries hardening" he loved it and I'm sure you will too. Like they say in the South, "If it ain't fried, it ain't food." Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:
3 regular size cans of french cut green beans (You can use whole beans but I've found that you can't really get the full flavor from them like you can with french cut.)
1 package of your favorite bacon (mine is maple flavored)
1 cup of sharp cheddar cheese

PREPARATION:
Cut up the bacon into small pieces. Size here really doesn't matter. Whatever you prefer.
In a large skillet add your bacon and begin cooking it until it releases all of those delicious greases you love so much. Once the bacon is cooked open the cans of beans and drain them thoroughly... water and grease don't really mix well. When drained pour the beans into the frying pan along with the cooked bacon. Now cook the beans until they become somewhat browned. They'll shrink some but that is what you're looking for. Take the cheese and add it That's it. You're now ready to experience your first heart attack. Don't worry though, there will be more in the future because you're going to love this!
