Breakfast for Dinner

We love breakfast foods and sometimes we crave "breakfast for dinner". So, if you are also craving breakfast foods, plan a "breakfast for dinner" meal.

Some great "breakfast for dinner" meal ideas are:
Scrambled eggs with bacon and avocado
2 slices bacon
2 large eggs
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/4 avocado, diced
Toast or an english muffin

1. Brown bacon in a small skillet over medium heat, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove bacon.
2. In a bowl, beat eggs with 2 tablespoons water; season with salt and pepper. Pour into pan; cook, scraping bottom frequently with a flexible heatproof spatula, until just set, 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Transfer to a plate. Crumble bacon over top; sprinkle with avocado. Serve with toast or english muffin.

Krusteaz Wheat & Honey Pancake Mix or Krusteaz Chocolate Chip Pancake Mix
Mix and cook according to directions on the box.

"Wine Purse"

We came across this absolutely ridiculous gadget, the wine purse, and just had to share it with our blog readers.

Pictured above, the "Baggy Wine Coast" allows users to have a way to carry wine wherever they go. All you do is place a bag of wine in the purse and close the flexible top. This interesting sack has a rubber bottom to prevent tipping over, as well as a side dispenser. The bag costs about $58.

What do you think of this invention? We think it is hilarious but also ridiculous. Let us know what you think and if you would ever use one of these bags under "comments".

Last night was the spring premiere of one of our favorite television shows, Glee!

Did you watch Glee? Are you a fan of the show? If you watched last night, what did you think of the Rachel and Finn story line? Did you love the music? Let us know under "comments"!

We thought last night's episode was great, but are really waiting for next week's episode, the Madonna episode. To get a quick preview of Glee and the Madonna episode, check out hilarious Sue Sylvester's homage to "Vogue" in the video below. We cannot wait to see what Glee has in store for us this season!

The Look for Less

A trend we keep seeing this season is cut out pattern pumps and/or sandals ("basket weave" pattern).

Miu Miu has a pair of black pumps in line with this trend, however the price is somewhat too fabulous, a.k.a. too expensive for those of us on shoe budgets. Their price $590... Ouch!

However, do not fret. We have found the look for less!

ROSEGOLD makes an almost identical pair of pumps for $158.

Both shoes are pictured above. Can you tell the difference between the two? Guess which shoe is Miu Miu and which shoe is ROSEGOLD. Post your guesses under "comments" and we will reveal the answer tomorrow morning in the comments section.

Ahh Allergies!

According to the Associated Press, pollen is at an all-time high and we are definitely feeling it!

If you suffer from allergies you know the symptoms, but if you don't usually have allergy symptoms, you may this season. Some of the symptoms include: sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose, and a constant headache.

The number 1 natural tip we always hear is to consume local honey. The belief behind this is that ingesting the bit of local pollen from honey acts as an immune booster and builds resistance to local fauna.

Another tip we have heard about is heat therapy. Warmer temperatures is a way to relieve congestion, so people say to try exercising or investing in a humidifier.

Do you have any tips to beat allergies? Let us know under "comments".
