As seen on Pinterest, Entry #1 - The Eggy Muffin Lump

I have to admit I am becoming a bit of a fanatic on Pinterest.com.  If you step back a moment and examine your comings and goings on this website, you come to the conclusion pretty fast that over 99.999% of the things are either too difficult, too expensive, or two time consuming to even dream of executing. However, I do find that the meals that I find on Pinterest actually save me time, and well as add a little something different to my repertoire.   
     This morning we had limited time to get out the door, the kids and husband #1  were about to head to the movies to see Star Wars, something my husband has been trying to thrust upon my son for about a year now to no avail.   Thinking a stunning, loud, 3D experience may pound a love for All Things Starwars into their knobby heads, he whisked the children out the door this morning for a matinee.  I told the children in private, "even if you don't like it, act like you do, because it means a lot to your father".  When Husband #1 ( I just call him that in jest, I guess it's wishful thinking sometimes) then told the kids where they were going, my son joyfully exclaimed " wow, that sounds so cool, look how happy I am Dad!" and puts on a completely cheesy fake smile.   But I've gotten off track here and I have to get out the door soon, before the tyrants return so that I may get paint swatches for my kitchen, so, back to my little rant about Pinterest.  Here on my blog, that I oh so often do NOT come and post on when I promised myself I would, I will write about  my successes and failings at all things Pinterest-induced in a series of posts I like to call "As Seen On Pinterest".   First up, this Eggy Muffin Baconator thing.   Takes 5 minutes tops to assemble, 20 to cook and you have everything you love about breakfast right in a little compact muffin shaped glob.  




make 6 at a time for a big family.... it's one piece of circle cut white bread lining the bottom on a well sprayed muffin tin.
Line with a strip of bacon.  I use low sodium.
Crack an egg in the middle.  Puncture.
Crack salt and pepper on the top.
Repeat.
Cook in a preheated oven at 400 for 20 minutes.  Whaloa!  So Deeelish!

I'd say this one was a success, seeing my daughter ate it.  My son was too busy avoiding breakfast all together to even notice it.
