This post is just for me.

And anyone else who sees a series of instructions or pictures on-line and thinks, 

"Wow, I could never do that (craft) or make that (recipe)."

I've thought that to myself plenty of times and so I just decided to dive in and try a new recipe.

Of course, I got in this mood on a day when I didn't really have all the ingredients that were needed.

But, since this is my real world, and I've learned a lot from watching my mom improvise I decided to make them anyway.

What you ask?

Egg McMuffins seen in all their prettiness here.

Be forewarned--mine look NOTHING like hers!!!

But I improvised here, remember? And so can you!!

First I mixed my eggs (3), water and salt and pepper.

I poured it into my hot pan.

Then because I didn't have slices of cheese. . .I used shredded.

I placed whole wheat English muffins in my toaster oven for a few minutes.

While those were toasting, I flipped my eggs--

I've never made an omelet before but I think that is pretty much what I almost could have made had I stopped at this step.

I didn't have the cute metal biscuit cutter or whatever. . .

but I had some cookie cutters that I keep in the playdo bin!--washed of course!

Buttered the other side of the biscuit--AND

Voila!

 So easy and delicious--I made another batch to freeze: )

These might be an additional monthly freezer meal to add to the rotation.

Improvisation at its finest!!

If I can do it with what I had on hand--so can you!!
