BACON

BACON!


We love breakfast food.  We just don't love mornings.
So, compromise: 
Breakfast For Dinner!

I think it took three trips before I could find this bacon, though.  I had to use my #Kroger app to find the location.  I was starting to think it didn't exist, which was going to be crazy and make me very sad because I was really looking forward to this #free sample.  So, to keep you from all your searching.... it was with the packaged lunch meats.  Which in my store is just to the right of the bacon section.  I'm pretty sure I only finally found it because my husband really did want the lunch meat, and surprise! There's fresh bacon there, too. 

I say fresh, because it's Uncured Natural Choice, but don't mistake that for what's out of the meat counter.  This is still prepackaged.  

And pretty.

Depending on who you are, this is either a funny or a sad story:

So my route to work is also the same route that a certain semi takes.  
One day, we stopped at a stop light together, I look out my window, and make eye contact with a pig.  I notice the truck is full of this round pink-nosed snorting creatures.  
The light turns, and we go about our way.  Later on, the truck slows down and I pass him on our long two-lane road north.  Turns out the name of the company on the side of the cab is "Bacon, By Gosh!"
That very same afternoon, as I am returning down the long road back from work, I again am driving along side the semi.  
Only this time...

He Was Empty.

Goodbye, pig.  Thanks for being yummy.

So, breakfast for dinner.  It was simple; bacon, hashbrowns, and eggs.






My husband prefers his eggs over easy.  It grosses me out that they're still runny.  
What's ironic: I can cook them "perfect" and he can't.

Scrambled, with cheese, for me please! 

And, of course:
With Bacon On Top!



Y'all should try this bacon. It's all real flavor, and not all the salt trying to fake it.  
If I didn't make so many eggs and hashbrowns (which by the way, this non-frozen brand is great!), I think I could have eaten the whole package of bacon.

Just Breathe - #freesample

Image
Let's get one thing straight: Breath and Breathe are two different words.  Please spell them correctly and then use them correctly. Breath is what you take in, Breathe is the act you're performing.           Take a Breath.           Just Breathe. Breathe Right strips. Most of the time I feel like my nose doesn't get out of the way enough for air to come through.  These strips help pull my nose open to allow extra air flow while I'm sleeping. If I could get away with wearing them all day long, I would.   But no one wants to see this out... you will not find me on that website about People Of certain-store-that-shall-not-be-named.  Plus, I try to go to my local Kroger for everything I possibly can, which you know.   I had not tried the fabric ones before. I've used the plastic ones because they're clear, but the glue stays on my nose and then I'm having s...

The Free Stuff Guest Blog You Never Knew You Needed

Image
Hi. You might be thinking that you are reading Amanda's blog about her free Kroger stuff. Today, however, we have a guest blogger: me. This episode of “Doing Stuff with Free Things” is brought to you by Payton, Amanda's husband, and by the letter “fire.” The suggested recipes that came with our Kroger Promotion package included a pizza. A barbeque pizza. That's fine and all, but there's a boss little pizza place in town that sometimes serves loaded baked potato pizzas which will make your heart grow three sizes larger, and I just had a hankerin’ for one. The problem is, they only serve it one day a week, and you have to be The Flash or a Russian spy to be able to time it just right so that you can get one before they're gone. And I am neither. Neither. Pay attention, NSA. New problem: that pizza includes absolutely none of the free barbeque-in-a-bourbon-bottle that we got from the Kroger propaganda machine. But, have you ever been to a barbeque pla...

Time for your "First Day"!!

Image
August is a great "first day" month. Kids have their first day of school, students have their first day of college classes, and sometimes adults have their first day of training at a new job! Payton has been working far too many years at a factory, because that's the place in town that paid - in money but not in time or stress or basically anything happy aside from making friends. He loves people, so they made working there tolerable.  But then one night while standing in a taco bar line, a friend seemingly randomly said "I wish I could hire you." This friend is a manager at a local doctor's office.  After a few jokes, the conversation went from " that'd be nice " to " hmm, what if we actually do it?! " Fast forward a month or so.... and HE GOT THE JOB, and just started on Tuesday. (also, he graciously gave the last employer a three-weeks-notice because let's face it, they just lost one of their best employees because they d...
