P.S. what can you not cook without???

What are you making Aunt Mary???

Sooooooooooo this past Saturday eve I was making pumpkin-chocolate-chip cookies for our church's Thanksgiving feast the next day. (Finally got my hands on Sister Kathy Karlson's famous cookie recipe..waiting my WHOLE LIFE FOR IT!!! Hee, hee!!!) So i'm just working away when my nephew Odin walks up!!!

.

He says, "What are you making Aunt Mary?!" 

I'm about to respond back to him that I was making cookies, BUUUUUUUUUUUUUT... before I could actually even respond back to him, he interrupts me and says,

 WHAT ARE YOU MAKING AUNT MARY???

 A MESS??? 

Are you making

 a mess Aunt Mary???

I just busted up laughing, IF YOU KNOW ME IN THE KITCHEN...then YOU KNOW...it's getting crazy!!! There's two three things about me you should know: 1. I don't work quickly 2. I don't work neatly 

3. I DO WORK

Oooops Recipe, buuuuuuuut...

Ummmmm...Soooooo yeah...be careful when your pouring the chipotle-raspberry sauce on your breakfast sandwich!!! 

I was liiiiiiike...OOOOOOOOOOPS!!!!

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT...

YUUUUUUUMMMMM!!!!

Mary's Breakfast Sandwich
This is basically what I eat every morning, sometimes I switch out the chipotle Sauce for Ketchup and Tapatio! Or a Lenders Little bagel instead of Daves Killer bread...or ribs instead of bacon...you can be creative with your leftovers...use that BRAIN God gave you!!! 

Recipe
Ingredients
1 Slice of Daves Killer Bread
1 pat of butter
1 Egg Cooked however you like ( I prefer fried)
1 slice bacon Costo Pre-cooked bacon OR Kraft Cheese (I try not to do BOTH)
Costco Raspberry-Chipolte Sauce

Directions
Toast buttered bread in a pan til bread is browned
Cook egg
Add cheese slice to egg as it melts on to if you choose cheese
Microwave bacon slice if you choose bacon 
Cut toasted bread in half trianglularley...that's THE RIGHT WAY to cut bread...combine it all together like a sandwich and put your sauce inside...IF you need further directions than this...you either NEED HELP or you need to hire me for COOKING LESSONS!!!! Hee, hee!!! 

*If you don't NEED to bother with HOW MUCH YOU EAT....Although...MOST OF YOU DO, you can use two slices of bread, 2 eggs, etc.. and make a WHOLE sandwich!
