Dressing

This is almost too funny as I had this for breakfast today, except mine did not have corn in it! Sounds like a great recipe to try!!!

sattie, you must eat breakfast like me, often a little unusual, but it serves the purpose. This morning I had a cheese and bean burrito, along with a slice of watermelon, not everyone's cup of tea, but it gave me enough energy to spend a couple of hours doing yard work.

I'm not a typical breakfast eater, I usually go with what sounds good. And for me, well, chips and dip is good for breakfast, sometimes I will slice up a tomato and eat that... I'm weird!

I'm glad you're calling it normal. I thought we all might be a little weird.:biggrin:

So that's what it takes to get results - I never tried that before yard work. :idea: - I don't think DW will go for it, though.
