Transcript

I have 11 days to make whatever's in our freezer and fridge stretch. So I'm gonna show you my meal I'm making today for this breakfast. And we're gonna see if I can actually make it stretch. If you have any ideas what to do with 3 pounds of ground beef, how to split it, what to cook with it, or bone-in chicken thighs, let me know. Because the kids are eating oatmeal this morning, so they're gonna get Maple Brown Sugar oatmeal. And I'm gonna go ahead and make myself two eggs. So we're gonna use this dozen. Yes, it is a full dozen, which makes things direct. So awesome. Two eggs. And if the kids are still hungry after oatmeal, sausage, we do have bagels and eggs. So let's see if they get through that first. While I'm waiting on that sausage, could we just look out our window and look at how dreary that is today? You can't even see the mountain right there. Nope, it is covered in fog and cloud. I think it's a cloud. I think it's a cloud. I have a ton of videos to do today for samples. And look, they sent me some snacks. I'm super excited. This is a beaded curtain. How fun is that gonna be? And then a cooling pillow. Sausage is now cooling. Let's put my eggs. Let's see if these stay dunking or if they turn into flat. And yes, I put it in the same pan because we're gonna use the grease as butter and make it work. Well, looks like they're both gonna be runny. Oops. And here's my eggs and there's my breakfast. And we have one sausage left. The kids already broke into it. But hey, they're eating, that's good.
