It doesn’t take much to excite me.  Something little can fill me with glee!  Something tiny like a Hummingbird!  Each spring I wait with great anticipation to hear the buzz, buzz (or hum, hum I guess) of their wings and to catch the first glimpse of their quick movements among the limbs of my pine tree.  This year has been no different and I’m happy to report the feeder is out and guests have arrived!  My other feeders are busy too, as pairs of Cardinals, Nuthatches, and Finches flit in and out. It’s nesting time and the trees are alive with activity!

I always love it when my “nest” is busy too! Whether it’s having my mother-in-love for dinner, craft night with the girls, or having all the beds in the house filled with our kids and their families; I’m one happy “ole bird” when I have others to feed and take care of!

Anyone who knows me will tell you that breakfast is my favorite meal.  I love making (and eating) a big french toast brunch for my family on Saturday mornings or pancakes and bacon for supper on a cold winter evening. Breakfast foods are nectar to my soul!  They’re favorites I come back to time and time again!

The recipe I want to share with you today is for Breakfast Bird’s Nests.  It takes breakfast from the griddle to the muffin tin AND they are great anytime of day! You can make them ahead of time, change up what you add to suit your taste, and they’re easy grab as you “fly” out the door!  I hope you enjoy!

The last week of April! Can you believe it?  Where does time go? It’s easy for me to lose track of time these days now that I’m not on a regular schedule. (Sorry to those of you who still are)  I never thought I would need a schedule again but I’m finding that I waste a lot of time and maybe, just maybe it’s time for me to put myself on a “retirement schedule”. I can’t believe I just typed those words. The blessing is; I’ll be in control of the schedule and I can ignore it whenever I want to! Oh boy, I’m thinking it may not be easy to get this gal going!

These spring days tend to quickly become full of to-do’s and can be overwhelming! It’s testing time at school (speaking from experience, it’s always stressful and exhausting), there are ballgames to attend, gardens to plant, lawns to mow, on top of all the normal things that fill your days. Dinner?  Who has time to cook?  With this new recipe, you do!  Talk about easy! It got rave reviews around my dinner table so hope you enjoy it too!

Now, I’m the kind of eater that isn’t too fond of combining things so I ate my Cole Slaw on the side.  I also LOVE the flavor of dill so added some dill relish to my sandwich. Yummmmm! My dinner companions found the Cole Slaw and meat combo delightful. I did chose to use Hoagie Rolls which are a little more substantial and able to handle both the slaw and meat.   Serve these tangy sandwiches with some potato wedges and WAALAA dinner is served.  You can even eat on paper plates for an easy cleanup, out the door, on with life kind of night.

“Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest”.” Matthew 11:28 (NLT)

P.S. For easy potato wedges this is my go to:

My windows are open bringing in sweet air and bird song.  The sky is the kind of blue that makes you smile no matter what kind of day you’ve had.  The sun reaches down and warms what was once frozen.  I’m in short sleeves! It feels like spring! A time for renewal and growth. Birth and blooming. Sowing and hatching. My favorite time of year! A day like today makes me ready to cook something fun and fresh like this Taco French Bread Pizza! It’s quick, easy, and delicious!  So go ahead…..sit on the porch, dig in the garden, enjoy the day…. just a little longer. With this recipe, dinner’s a breeze!
