Let's start with breakfast....

Neil and I enjoy a good Sunday breakfast. So this morning we decided on scrambled eggs, sausage, and pancakes. Pretty simple, right? Wrong, especially when I have been a bit spoiled by a man that loves to cook from prep to finish. Well let's just say I have to start somewhere.

On the menu:

• 4 eggs beaten with a splash of veggie oil, milk, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste.

• 2 cups of Aunt Jemima pancake mix (cheating, I know but I never said we were going to make everything from scratch)

• 4 Italian sausages (leftover from dinner two nights ago)
• Sliced green/red/yellow bell peppers (leftovers from a veggie party platter)
• 1/2 medium yellow onion
• Handful fresh Italian parsley

Now here is where it gets funny and sad all at the same time. So I decided to get to chopping, while Neil worked on the pancakes. But before I started to chop I asked Neil two questions:

1. How fine did he want me to chop the cilantro?

2. How do I slice the onion?

You know you have a good thing when your husband doesn't laugh but instead pauses and nicely corrects me on the fact that I was chopping parsley, not cilantro and then shows me one technique to cut an onion.

Maybe next up will be "how to slice/chop veggies 101" with Neil. haha.
