Pinterest. Plan. Price. Prioritize. Prepare. Partake. [working title]: Breakfast &pb cookies

I told mom I would make these breakfast muffins so she'd have them before she had work early Tues. or wed. - forgot mon. pm and most of tues until around midnight- decided to go ahead and make them anyway. Benny & Pace came over when they smelled the bacon & started begging of course ha. We happened to have a big bag of frozen hash browns from Schwann's for some weird reason so I used half of that- but if I do it again I'd use less hashbrowns. the ratio was a little off for my personal taste. It was a little too starchy. Pretty tasty still.

yummy bacon at 1ish am!

crispy hashbrowns

uncooked hashbrowns

gross looking egg mixture

and finally the finished product

Today was Peanut Butter cookies day to celebrate Dad being able to eat again after his colonoscopy. I came up with the idea last night so I went ahead and mixed up the dough for this Paula Deen recipe. My goodness was that dough ever tasty!! I think it was that Mexico vanilla I used! I refrained from eating too much, stuck it in the fridge & left it for this afternoon. Mom and I wondered how this would go because it doesn't have flour, baking soda or anything obvious to cause the rising. But as you can see it did indeed work. They were good but mom and I preferred them in straight dough form!! yum =)
I decided we needed more and before the Paula Deen ones were done I wasn't sure if it was going to work so I started on a second batch with another recipe I'd seen last night when I was looking on Pinterest for crunchy peanut butter cookies. This one doesn't have flour either but it does have baking soda. Since our eggs are only medium size I added a 2nd (calls for extra-large i believe) so the dough was pretty runny. As you can see in the picture these cookies were looking like giant pillow cookies (although that may have been because I didn't want to have to use a whole other cookie sheet (small one is missing) for just 4 or so cookies so I made them bigger blobs than I should have). I thought they'd be nice and fluffy (how I love them but they were for dad so they were supposed to be crunchy) but I guess for one thing they ended up in the oven too long. They turned out chewy in the middle, crunchy on the edges and so hard (sticky) to eat that it detracted from the taste. I never got a clear "read" on them- they even reminded me of the taste of pork rinds at one point!!!! obviously I don't highly recommend this particular recipe.

-oh & fyi I used crunchy pb for both recipes because it's Dad's favorite.
