I don't always make breakfast. Jon and I never let out stomachs know what time of the day it is lol. Jon loves leftovers. I hate them.
When I do make breakfast I make homemade biscuits, turkey sausage or bacon, gravy and eggs. I probably make breakfast 2-3 times a week.

I make quick meals many times - I can my own sauces making ti very easy to make a meal quickly. I do a lot of bulk cooking and freezing as well. It makes things so much easier for me. Freezing or canning gravies can turn a plain dish into something much fancier. I'm at the age where - anything that can cut down on some time is fine with me!

Mrsjimmyp, there is a buy one get one free coupon for the Easy Mac cups on SmartSource.com. What kind of salad do you make with the noodles? I'm not big on eating them unless I'm really hungry.

Cook_Chatty_Cathy, it still amazes me how many people out here in LA have no idea what grits are. I can only find them in instant packs, but not in the traditional container like the oatmeal.

Too funny! I lived in Long Beach 2 years then in Monterey 2 years and was only able to find grits at the military PX. My sister who lives up North can not get them, we mail them to her thank goodness for the US postal service. On her anniversary I mailed her a very special bottle of wine only to find out O-o-o-o-ops it is illegal to mail alcoholic beverages to her particular state, thank God I did not get caught and go to jail shew-w-w:o

You know with grits becoming ever more popular, and especially in the fine dining circles it amazes me that they have not become more readily available in all states and stores. There are the quick cooking (which say are ready in 5 min's) and the long cooking (who has time for that in the morning!!??!!) and they are so creamy and good tasting when cooked and served correctly. It just makes me wonder why they fail to make them available except in the instant pkt's:confused: I hate instant oatmeal also YUCK!!!! To me the instant grits and oatmeal just taste under cooked.
