Rise and Shine is my way of sitting down and having a cup of coffee with you! We talk about the new deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help us save time, money or energy. Published Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! How are things with you this morning!?! I’m grateful it’s FRIDAY! Per the recommendation of so many of you, yesterday we traveled to Mackinaw Island, Michigan. It’s only accessible by boat and you won’t find any cars on the island – only horses and bicycles! We took a horse-drawn carriage ride around the island, learning all about the history! The kids love the ferry ride, loved all the shops and the carriages. We got back mid-afternoon to our campsite and the sun was out! The view from our campsite is fantastic (top left corner of collage) – Michigan has some wonderful state parks – at $29/night you gotta love that. Today is a travel day for us as we head south.
This morning for breakfast I made a clean-out-fridge breakfast. Here’s how it works. Dice 4-5 potatoes into small cubes – cook in sauté pan until browned. While your potatoes are cooking, in another pan I diced up ham, mushrooms, pepper, onions (whatever you have in the fridge!) – sauté until cooked. On plate add potatoes, then your diced veggies/meat and top with an over easy egg. I don’t know what to call it – but it cleans out the veggies I need to cook – and usually keeps us full until the afternoon. . . great for days when we are traveling over the lunch hour. Do you have a favorite breakfast?
