Quick and Easy Breakfast Recipe: Breakfast Baked Potatoes

Here is a new spin on breakfast that's wonderfully simple. You can leave the potatoes to cook as you get dressed for the day, while the eggs and sausage fry up quickly once it's about time to eat. To save even more time in the morning, you can have all the ingredients pre-cooked the night before, and then just reheat everything the morning.

Breakfast Baked Potatoes

Ingredients:

4 large potatoes
4 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
dash of pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 pound ground pork sausage
shredded cheese, sour cream, and minced onion if desired for topping

1. Scrub potatoes well and prick all over with a fork. Bake at 400 degrees F for 45 minutes, or until tender.

2. Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Melt the 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and cook as for scrambled eggs.

3. In another pan, fry the ground pork sausage until cooked through.

4. To serve, cut each potato open and fill with egg and sausage. Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, and onions.

Soapmakers: Why You Shouldn't Use Vinegar if You Come into Contact with Lye

It was one of the first things I learned when I began making my own soap; I read it in books and on the internet: "Always keep a jug of vinegar on hand when you are working with lye. Vinegar neutralizes lye." Soapers, have you heard this? Do you practice the habit of keeping vinegar nearby when you make your soaps?

Summer Squash and Wild Rice Casserole

Squash season will soon be upon us. Yellow Crookneck Squash The time will come when I will make my daily trek out to the garden and be delighted to see that my first yellow crooknecks and zucchinis are ready for picking...and then there will be more the next day, and the next, and the next. It will eventually get to the point where I have grown weary of eating squash sauteed in butter, I've frozen enough of it to last me the winter, and even dehydrated thin slices of it into chips, and still, it continues to produce, and begs for me to pick it.
