Hi, today I am grateful for a few reasons. First, for my husband who came up with this breakfast recipe for me. There may already be a similar recipe somewhere, but I have never seen it until Kevin made this. I call them Scrambled Egg Muffins. Originally, he used a regular sized muffin pan and sliced ham lunch meat. After several tweaks, he now uses the large muffin pan and Canadian Bacon slices. Second reason, these are quite tasty and only 4 points on the Weight Watchers program for two muffins.
Kevin never writes down his recipe, it changes each time he makes it. Should you be interested, here is a basic recipe to follow:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Large Muffin pan, sprayed with non stick spray.
First, place two slices of Canadian Bacon into individual pockets.
Then add in order- green peppers (any vegetable), scrambled eggs filling the pocket half or two thirds, top with cheese.
Bake 20 minutes. Turn oven off. Turn muffin pan 180 degrees, leave in oven (door closed). Let set in oven for approx 2 minutes. Remove from oven. The eggs will be fluffy and very pretty 🙂 Once cooled, the eggs will shrink. Remove from pan, store in plastic zip bags in refrigerator. In my opinion, they are good cold or heated in microwave.
Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Hi, day 2 I am grateful for my husband’s kindness for others. He visits Facebook daily. Usually at the end of his day. One evening he saw a post from a high school classmate. The classmate lives in a trailer that suffered wind damage from a recent storm. She had asked for help with the skirting. It had come loose and requested any help. She was not able to afford to pay for the labor at the time. My husband volunteered to assist with the repairs. Well, there was a second storm and she was in a similar situation. Again she posted to Facebook and Kevin volunteered.
Time had passed since the storms. The classmate recently texted Kevin. She had purchased a gift card at a local pub for him and me. I thought this was very considerate of her to include me. Kevin and I had a tasty lunch date because of his kindness for others!

Hi, this month I will be practicing gratitude daily. The gratitude series was based on my 101 in 1001 goal and from a recent Weight Watchers meeting. Daily gratitude’s will be scheduled to post at 11:30 pm Central time, giving me the time to write about that day’s gratitude.
Touch, see, smell, taste and hear will be the senses used to express my feelings and or experiences of gratitude for that day. Some posts may be lengthy with words and pictures or a single picture.
a sight I am grateful for.
a scent I appreciate.
tune into any sounds around me
touch and texture
Benefits of practicing gratitude has incredible effects, from improving mental health to boosting relationships with others.
Today I am grateful for family. With family I am never alone. Family has been with me through fun times and hard times.
Take Care. Best wishes, Debra
