New Ride!

We made a fun purchase last week.  Bob has been driving a Ford Edge which has been a great car, but it's not the best thing when he needs wood for carpentry items. We had decided to keep our eyes open for a used truck so he could use it to get wood or haul items.

Once you look at something like that on a computer, you start getting inundated with lots more!  He had one pop up that had very low mileage so we went to check it out, and we ended up buying it.



This is his old Ford Edge, it served him well.





And here is his new Ranger, under 10,000 miles on it and it's a 4 wheel drive, so will do well in the snow.







Yes - he's happy!

Cooking Thursday

Today's recipe is one I tried over Christmas, for a breakfast dish made in the crockpot. You turn it on before you go to bed and in the morning it's all ready for you!  Hash browns, bacon, cheese, green pepper, onion and eggs - it was very good.




Overnight Breakfast Casserole

6-8 strips of bacon, cooked until crispy and chopped
1 green pepper, diced
1 small onion, diced
1 - 2 pound bag frozen southern style hash browns
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
12 eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Spray crock pot with non stick spray.
Saute green pepper and onion for 5 minutes.
Place 1/3 of hash browns in the bottom of the crock pot, then layer 1/3 of bacon, 1/3 of the peppers and onion,  and 1/3 of cheese. 
Repeat layers two more times, ending with the cheese.
Stir together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper and pour over cheese in crock pot.
If making this ahead of time, you can put the crock pot in the refrigerator until bedtime.
Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
