Breakfast for Dinner

I have a mother who didn't like to cook. Actually, it might be more accurate to say that she hated to cook. So breakfast for supper (as we called it back then) was a pretty part of the repertoire. Today was jam-packed with work and volunteering in A's classroom, then swim lessons, so I had about 30 minutes to come up with and prepare dinner. Tomorrow's grocery day so there wasn't a lot to choose from. Here's my take on an old family classic:

Sausage
1 lb. beef polish sausage, cut up

Fry in pan, reserving grease for cooking eggs. Put on an oven safe plate and place in 250 degree oven until your husband is on his way home from from work.

Scrambled Cheese Eggs
8 eggs
1/2 cup milk
3 Tbsp shredded cheddar cheese

Mix eggs and milk together well.
Scramble in left-over grease.
When eggs are nearly cooked, put cheese on top and cover with lid until cheese is melted.

Fruit Smoothies (Smoot Moovies, as K calls them)
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup vanilla yogurt
2-3 cups frozen fruit (mango, papaya, strawberries, pineapple is what I used)

Pour OJ and yogurt in blender, top with frozen fruit.
Blend well.

There's nothing wrong with drinking your fruit, folks. My girls love it and it's faster than fruit salad.
