Cowboy Cakes - A Country Breakfast Dream

CowBoy Cakes

Prep and cook time 20 Minutes - Calories Infinite! 

Alright, So this delicious breakfast is yummy fun and really adorable to eat!  

 Ingredients 

1 pound Bacon

2 table Spoons Butter or EVOO

6 Slices of Wheat Bread

12 Small Eggs - Check the Carton

Black- Pepper and other Seasons - Optional

Shredded Cheddar or American - Optional

Salsa Or Country Gravy

In a 12 Inch Frying Pan on near High Heat- Cook the bacon till it starts to  ribbon slightly and  has crispy edges but is till malleable. Drain the greese ( never in a sink) and let cool for a minute

With  a smaller cookie cutter or in my case a white wine glass cut out circles from the bread, You can usually get 2 out per slice as to reduce waste!

Then Grease your Pan with the butter or evoo and tuck the bread circles into their cowboy cake homes

Now, with a spoon or butter knife grab the Bacon and wrap it around the break to make it a ring around the bread, I put the ribbon side up to make it more cup like make sure that the ends touch if you can!

Then, if you so choose you can sprinkle a bread of cheese on them, Then with a bowl crack an egg at a time and then transfer the yolks and just a bit of the whites into your Cowboy Cakes

Dash on some Pepper - I also tossed on some oregano and sage on 'em too. I did not add salt because one its bad for you and two the bacon already has enough :) 

Bake at 420 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes - depending on how you like your eggs, however I recommend for this recipe for the eggs to be over hard.

During this time, now only are the eggs cooking but the bacon is contracting and hugging all the inside ingredients to make it a perfect bacon cupcake.

Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. Then with a spoon or butter knife, I used and absinthe sugar spoon ; Remove the cakes slowly and transfer to a plate!

  Now all you have to do is enjoy. Topped Great by Salsa, Country Gravy or Ketchup!

Serve with a fruit or vegetable - i.e grapefruit, tomatoes, or orange slices. Enjoy!

A new Trade! For a new Direction and New Groove

So I was fortunate enough to meet Charlene and her Husband, A nice soldier who has spent nearly the last 10 years defending our country abroad. Well they were nice enough to make a fair trade with me for a new Nuvi Garmin GPS Unit and an 80Gb I pod classic. So they now have my Bass and Guitar so that her husband and her son can learn to play together!

So it Begins

Well, Here is my Goal I have 4 dream cars that I want. However I would never consider myself a greedy person, so we will start off with one.... The four cars, above mentioned are:

1.   '57 Ford Fairlane Hardtop Convertible
2.   '63 Ford Fairlane
3.   '63-67 Lincoln Continental 
4.   '63  Thunderbird

Now any of these cars would make me a really happy Texan and one can find these cars pretty easily here in Texas. The least expensive of the cars, the 63 Ford, can be bought  for anywhere from 1200 dollars here in south Texas to an easy eight thousand and up. The 67 Lincoln can be found restored at just under 40k.
The Goal of this Blog is to account my journey as I barter my way from a  Deco Crosley phone:

to one of my dream cars.

The target goal is one Year and the rules are as follows

1. All Items must be bartered; a quid pro quo kind of scenario never money involved.
2. I cant trade people, animals, or souls.
3. And The Dream car has to be able to be driven away...safely. 

So join me in my adventure as I go from Deco To Classic, from 0 to 60 and in less than a year!

So if you what do you have to barter with? What would you give me for this phone? Stay tuned to see what I will trade for it!
