People who know me well know that I do not enjoy cooking. Being on a limited diet and preparing meals for one does not help in that matter.
For many years I cooked healthy meals for a large family. I enjoyed cooking back then. For me getting food to taste right for one is not easily done, therefore I no longer enjoy cooking.
Being able to eat some healthy foods cooked from scratch is a blessing.
When I get hungry enough for one of the few things I cook that tastes good to me I finally give up, give in and cook it.
One morning last week I was hungry for a good healthy breakfast. Breakfast foods are some of my favorites. It was good and I enjoyed every bite.
Scrambled eggs with green, red and yellow bell peppers and onions. Bacon on the side.
Thank you, for stopping by and reading my post. If you were kind enough to leave a comment, it is much appreciated.
It amazes me that all of you great writers, artists, photographers and wonderful bloggers follow my blog. I sure enjoy reading your posts and I am learning a lot of interesting things that I never knew.
I am just a country girl enjoying retirement with not much to say…but for some reason I love and enjoy having a blog.
Hugs and blessings to all.

Mags, your simple story made us smile. The way you rediscover joy in everyday moments feels like a warm morning that slowly brings back enthusiasm. There is gentle courage behind your decision to cook for yourself, along with sincere gratitude. Please keep sharing these little lights, because they feel big to us.
Sometimes cooking is just a “task,” but when we eat alone, the meal becomes a conversation with ourselves: a thank-you to a strong body, a memory of the past, and a small gift for tomorrow. You remind us that caring for ourselves is also a beautiful kind of love. Even breakfast can be a meaningful ritual.
Within your words, I feel a message: happiness does not wait for something big— it comes from the courage to continue enjoying life. May every meal you prepare bring new smiles, and may your blog keep connecting hearts that strengthen each other. Thank you for sharing warmth that feels real and sweet like that morning.

Thank you so much Livora for your sweet comment. At this stage in my life I find blessings and joy in so many little things that I did not notice so much in my younger days. I hope that others take time to notice the little things that God blesses us with each and every day. Hugs and blessings to you!

Dear Mags,
Your words feel like a gentle reminder wrapped in grace. 🌷✨ As we grow, the small things reveal their true beauty — tiny gifts from God that were always there, waiting to be noticed. Your reflections inspire hearts (including mine) to slow down and cherish them.
Thank you for the warmth and encouragement you always share. Hugs and abundant blessings right back to you! 🤗🙏💛

Your breakfast looks delicious, Mags. I enjoy all of your posts. For some reason I was not getting notices (and it is so difficult to find blogs without them). I unsubscribed and resubscribed (checking off the enable notifications.) Hopefully, this will work! Have a great rest of your day.

That looks delicious! You make your scrambled eggs the same way I do, with peppers and onions. Yumm !!! I really enjoy cooking too. I do most of the cooking at home, and like you, there are times I love it and times I don’t. I always want to cook something everyone will enjoy, but that’s not always how it goes. I’ve got a house full of very, very, very picky eaters, so we don’t always see eye to eye on meals.
Breakfast for dinner is even more enjoyable than in the mornings. FYI…
God Bless You my Dear Sister.
You Are Loved…

I’m so glad you have a blog, because I enjoy reading it. I cook good things for myself from time to time. I love breakfast foods and am thinking I should have eggs for the last meal of the day rather than carb-heavy things. That idea popped in my head when I looked at the lovely photo of your egg concoction with bacon.

I tend to like sweet things for breakfast, but I like eggs once in a while. Dave makes them scrambled with cheese, bacon or sausage on the side, and a biscuit (which I put the meat in and add some molasses or sf jelly).
I’ve tried a Mexican dish called Migas that looks similar to what you made, but adds jalapeno, tomato, cheese, and tortillas cut into tiny pieces.

What a nice thing to say, Mags! I think one of the things I enjoyed most when I first started to blog was finding new things and new people. Some become blogging friends and some do not. It still gives us a window into a different world view, and that is generally a good thing. Even if we do not agree, it is useful to understand someone else’s perspective and why they think that. Your breakfast looks great!
Sorry Suzassippi about your comment not showing up. The post went out before I was ready for it to go out. You happened to have found it before I could get it back offline. Hugs and blessings.
