Breakfast Prepping

Vince and I had to be in Carthage early this morning so we left home without breakfast. We ended up getting a light breakfast out between the four or five stops we had to make and that prompted me to come home and prepare some almost ready to heat and eat breakfast meals for the freezer.

The little Ninja chopper got a good workout!

And, the Souper Cubes are so handy. I'll pop everything out as soon as it's frozen. Most all of this will be used pretty quickly so it will probably go into zipper freezer bags instead of vacuum sealed bags.

Both "sandwiches" started with chicken breasts and jalapeno peppers. When it's time to serve them, I will heat the mixture with softened cream cheese, cook an egg and serve them either as a "pocket" using a tortilla or a sandwich using ciabatta bread

Half of the chicken mixture will be used to make my version of Jalapeno Chicken Pockets. I'll add a fried egg and some kind of cheese - cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan, pepper jack - whatever is open and waiting to be used.

To the other half, I added freeze dried basil, a bit of garlic, and extra EVOO - kind of pesto-ish.

These will be served in tomato/herb tortilla with a fried egg and probably mozzarella or parmesan cheese.

Aldi had strawberries on sale this week ($1.99 for a one pound package) so I bought four of those. Two are for snacking/eating and two were for making my favorite strawberry/matcha latte.

Next up . . feed the sourdough starter, get dinner served, eat, clean up the mess, get the bread dough ready to spend the night in the fridge.

I needed extra starter because both Nicole and Debbie need new starters.

The dough is now in the fridge and I can start stitching - 9 p.m. I must do better!
