“What is your favorite meal of the day?” a friend asked my husband.
I eagerly waited for the answer.
I’m always looking for ways to make my husband’s day better. 😍
Listening to his likes & dislikes in conversations with others is one way I’ve found is an easy way to grab some new ideas! 😉
I know... I could ask him, but he doesn’t say anything negative about any of my cooking so this is a great way to learn!
His answer:
“Breakfast,” was his immediate response.
“Hmm, really?” I thought to myself. “I would not have guessed that.”
“What's best about breakfast?” asked our friend.
“There’s nothing like a home cooked meal after getting all the animals fed & the cows milked.
And sausage.
Sausage & bacon make any breakfast amazing,” my husband immediately answered.
He didn’t even have to think it through, he knew this was his favorite meal.
Yep.
You guessed it.
Breakfast has become a lot more important in my mind since that conversation.
Does your husband like breakfast foods?
Even if he doesn't feed animals or milk cows, I'm guessing he likes sausage & bacon!☺️
Here is a breakfast sausage recipe you need to try!
My husband thought them fantastic & could hardly stop eating them.
A win in my book! 🥰
