It’s the weekend and I do what I do best…Cook.  Being the morning person that I am,  I am up with the sun and down with the moon and the stars. I decided to get D’Angelo to assist with some chores and instructed him to wash the windows, but as usual he always has a rebuttal.  He is way too old to be in time out, but he sure was going to face the wall today.  As soon as I threatened to opt him out of breakfast, I received a much better attitude from him. Needless to say,  the windows are washed.

I felt like making some pancakes (not from the box) with my confetti scrambled eggs.  I prefer when my eggs are highly seasoned.  It adds so much dimension to the dish. My bacon was done in the oven, which makes a crispier bacon that doesn’t shrink.  I am feeling rather proud of myself as I journey on the path to everything that’s natural.  Cooking everything from scratch is so much tastier and really makes a huge difference.

…And so I decided to make some oatmeal and cranberry pancakes, which was oh so simple! I also had some blackberries that I had intended to use on Thanksgiving Day but never got around to it, so I made a blackberry and cranberry compote to drizzle over the pancakes.  What did I do with the remainder of the ham?  May God bless whatever was left of it. I did what any sensible, resourceful person would do? I added it to my breakfast.

Even though D’Angelo worked my nerve this morning, I was still able to enjoy my breakfast, and he is  blessed to be a part of the breakfast movement.

Do you have to bribe your children to assist with household chores?
