What's Cookin' (a little late), and Painted Lady Butterflies

Sometimes we like to have breakfast for supper. We've been waiting for the perfect night this week to do it, and I guess tonight was the night. It's an easy recipe, and one you can get the whole family in on!

Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuits

What you'll need:
1 can refrigerated biscuits (we used Pillsbury Grands!)
Bacon (we suggest Oscar Meyer Fully Cooked)
Eggs (scrambled--we add a little milk for fluffiness)
Cheese slices (we love Kraft Fat Free American)

What you'll do:
1. Bake the biscuits as instructed on the can.
2. Crack and scramble the eggs in a bowl. Have hubby warm up the bacon (it's fully cooked, remember).


3. Cook the eggs. Place a little of the egg mixture in the bottom of a small (hot) frying pan and let it cook about 25-30 seconds. Then attempt to fold it in half, cook a little longer, then flip over so it's cooked all the way through.


4. Slice a biscuit in half, place egg, cheese, and bacon on the bottom half, and then the top goes on top...duh!
Enjoy!

Kids can enjoy the eggs just scrambled if they don't want the sandwich, and it's not really like making something totally different for them! Photo courtesy of Myah.



**M&M got a Butterfly Keeper's Butterfly Habitat for their birthday. It was a cool gift. We mailed in the postcard (and $5) for the caterpillars. They arrived on June 10 in a vial....6 caterpillars and their 'food.' They crawled around for a few days and eventually made it to the top of the vial around June 16/17 and made their chrysalises. Brandon and I had to transfer the filter paper (which the chrysalises are stuck to) to the butterfly habitat. We attached it (carefully) with duct tape. 5 of the 6 emerged today and we expect the last one to go tomorrow or Sunday (it was a day or 2 behind in the chrysalis formation. They are feeding on 5% sugar water solution (as per the instructions) until we release them on Sunday or Monday. It's been a fun science experiment for all of us (and I'm definitely not one for the creepy crawlies!!).
