Fun Fact: Every time I hear the theme song to the NBC Nightly News, I think of my Mom cooking dinner at home.
Growing up, I remember getting so annoyed when 5:30pm rolled around, and I had to turn off whatever I was watching (probably Daria) so she could watch the news while cooking dinner. What a brat I was! 
Want to know what else reminds me of my mom cooking? The Wheel of Fortune theme song. If 6:00 rolled around and she hadn’t remembered to change the channel before it came on, you’d hear a little shriek coming from the kitchen as the “Wheel. Of. FORTUNE!!!!” chant came through the tv. She has a serious Wheel of Fortune phobia. Don’t ask!
Anyways! Remember when I won a free year supply of eggs? (Random!) Well, I finally cashed in a coupon and got myself a dozen!
Smooth, shiny & white, Eggland’s Best Eggs. Farm fresh and delicious. 
I cracked 1 full egg + 2 egg whites into a bowl that I got from Blue Bunny,
and giggled a bit when I realized it was a “cold activated” bowl. The parts touching the cold egg turned blue! Cool!
I added some dashes of salt, pepper and Franks Wing Sauce, then scrambled them up in a hot skillet with some baby spinach.
One toasted English Muffin, and a melted slice of cheddar cheese later, I had an easy, breezy Breakfast Sandwich for dinner!
This was absolutely delicious, and took about 3 minutes to make. And, hello, can we talk about the CHEESE?
Melty, chewy, mild cheddar cheese. The best. 
Served with half a ‘loupe.
They’re practically giving cantaloupe away this time of year, and at ~100 calories for HALF an entire ‘loupe – it’s a great addition to any meal.
OMG, I keep forgetting to tell you guys – I got the new Larabar flavors!!!!!!!!!!!! Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip Brownie & Carrot Cake!!!!! The folks at Larabar so KINDLY sent them to me to try and I am forever in their debt.
I demolished the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough bar last night and, seriously? SERIOUSLY! Best bar yet. BEST BAR YET! How does Larabar do it? How do they make these bars taste even better than the real thing? I’ll never understand it.
Tonight I think I’m going for the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip bar. Because I don’t have enough peanut butter at home, or anything.
Off to chomp and write. Have a wonderful night!
Jazz music reminds me of my mom cooking dinner! We had to turn off the TV (or mute it) so she could put on her jazz CDs. I love it now though.
oooh what an EGG-cellent breakfast hehe
Oh my gosh, I am so jealous of your Larabar treasures!
jealoussss of the larabarrrrs!
i got the apple pie and banana bread ones today
YAY!!!! Lara bar has new flavors!?! I had no idea!!!! SUPER exciting!!
Daria, what a great show!
I got sent the new flavors too and I just about died when I opened the package; you are going to looooove the pb!
Funny how those theme songs (any music, really!) can jolt us back with memories, eh?
And ZOMG! New Larabar flavors! Must have them! ALL of them! Get in mah belleh now!
New Larabar flavors — I’m a carrot cake fanatic (and must try it!) However, PB-anything has me drooling..
omg. those flavors sound amazing! i can never find the good flavors of larabars…
Egg Sammies for BFD! Girl we are one in the same tonight.
I am so excited to try the Carrot Cake Larabar. Yet to see it but I can’t wait until I find it.
A) Awesome looking sandwich. I just discovered breakfast for the morning.
B) Looks like I need to go larabar shopping!
i’m obsessed with larabars! I haven’t found the carrot cake one yet, but the choc chip cookie dough one is to die! It’s my second fave after cashew cookie.
I can’t wait to try the new larabar flavors! Haven’t see them yet where I live but hopefully they will soon.
omg your fun fact is seriously hilarious because i definitely remember hearing the tv on in the kitchen around dinner time as a kid too and it was either this tune or some cnn one.
i love all larabar flavors! i seriously don’t discriminate. i think they’re all amazing. my favorite of the new flavors is the chocolate chip cookie dough one.
Mmm, I’d never have thought to add hot sauce to eggs – what a great idea! I love Frank’s Red Hot…
PS – wish those LaraBars were easier to find – us East coasters feel a little out of the loop!
ABC Nightly News with Peter Jennings reminds me of my childhood.
I want to try those Lara Bar flavors!
OMG I’ve been dying to try the new flavors! I even emailed LARABAR and begged them to send me some samples because I can’t find them anywhere!
So far, no response
Oh well, maybe I’ll see them someday.
I have been seriously dying to try the cookie dough! I think they made that one special just for me
Wheel of Fortune reminds me of my childhood too but because I watched and loved and my dad was addicted!
wow those lara bars sound unreal! i know what i’m getting at trader joes this weekend haha.
everything looks yummy! i’m usually not a fan of larabars but maybe i’ll have to give them a second try…
So jealous of your Larabar stash! I can only find like three flavors in our local grocery stores. I tried the apple pie. So delish!
I’m very jealous that you were sent the new Larabar flavours. I can’t wait to try them though.
Ooh, I’m so jealous of your Larabar stash – they all sound so delish!!
yum! what brand of cheddar do you like?
i’m a fan of pepperjack cheeses, mainly…gouda is yummy too!
OMG! Those new Larabar flavors look amazing!:) I totally agree though, they do taste better than the real thing! I hope they have these new flavors in stores soon. BTW, your egg sandwich looks great too! I like to make egg sandwiches too, but I love smearing laughing cow cheese on the top of mine. Yum, yum!
Im so jealous of your new larabar flavors! I cannot find all the new flavors anywhere!
I hate that i cannot find the new larabar flavors anywhere…… i want to try their summer one and their new ones but i dont want a whole box…… and now where i know carries them….. just the boring flavors i always eat!
I am so bummed, we havent gotten the new flavors locally yet. I am dying to try them!
Hi Kristin!
Just dropping a note to tell you how much I enjoy your blog. You are such an inspiration! Loved this post – I feel like we grew up in the same house! I’m also an Iowa-born girl with a special place in my heart for the NBC Nightly News theme song. It always makes me think of my parents and dinner and home. My mom has the same Wheel of Fortune phobia your mom has! There was always a mad rush to the TV to TURN THAT SHOW OFF!
Keep up the great work!
Looooooooove eggs.
Have you tried mixing cheese in with the egg? It’s delicious, it really gives it a great taste and texture. I use just a little bit of mozzarella.
