Sunday Quick Breakfast

Sunday morning, the morning my children seem to wait around staring at me wondering when would be the right time to ask the one and only question that completely occupies all their brains at the same time........"Mom, are you going to make something for breakfast?"

Ugh, Sunday morning, the one morning I like to have my hot coffee and look at the Sunday paper......okay, well, I can make something fast enough to satisfy them when I don't feel like making a huge Sunday breakfast.

When they are on sale I will buy the biscuits you cook in the oven, since I don't buy them often my kids really enjoy them when they have them!

Place them in the oven and I know I have just about 10 minutes before they are done. I look in the fridge to see what I have.....

fresh spinach
turkey breast lunch meat
a fresh tomato grown in our very own backyard
eggs (no, we bought them, they weren't hatched in our backyard)
cheese slices

I put a little olive oil in a pan, chopped up the spinach and dropped it in the pan, chopped up the turkey breast and tomato and dropped them in with the spinach. Sprinkled some pepper and seasoned salt (just a little). Meanwhile I cracked about 6 eggs (I took out 2 yolks) beat it and poured it over the mixture in the pan.
I mixed it all up together and let it cook over medium heat. My biscuits are now done, took them out, grabbed out some sliced cheese (about 3 slices). I cut open each biscuit, took the wrapper off one slice a cheese cut it 4 ways, put a piece on one half of each biscuit. Oh, don't forget to stir your egg mixture!! I continued to open the cheese and do the same to each half of biscuit.
Once the egg mixture is completely cooked I got a spoon and scooped an amount enough to cover one part of the biscuit and then covered it with the other half of biscuit with the cheese (which is nicely sticking to the top part of the biscuit now).
I made 10 of them, had a little left over egg mixture which I put on a plate and drizzled some of my homemade chili sauce on it along with one of the breakfast biscuits (that was Daddy's plate).

The kids all grabbed a napkin, got a breakfast biscuit, and were happy!!! Yahoo! I got them to eat spinach, turkey, and tomato for breakfast and they loved it! They each got two and then finished it off with my homemade oatmeal cookies (that I also put in a banana for potassium)

Side Note**

Of course my children do have their dis-likes of certain fruits and vegetables, for this reason I like to cook without them watching so they won't already have a certain feeling of what I'm making before they even try it. Now Mom Jr. doesn't like tomatoes and yes, she of course was right there watching...Question"Mom, will the tomato taste like nothing when it's cooked in all that?" Answer " ", yes, that's right she didn't get one. She didn't ask again, she just waited, and when she ate it she loved it!!
So if it makes it easier try to make sure the kids stay away as you cook and once they have eaten it and liked it then is when I like to tell them "see, I put this and that in there and you didn't even know it". They start to realize to give everything a try with an open mind, it's not always what you think it's going to be like...
