We've all been there; we come in from working outside and everyone is hungry. You open the pantry door and you don't have a clue what to make. To you it looks like nothing but I have a few tricks I have learned from living where there isn't a store right down the road. We plan ahead because it can be a couple of weeks or even a month before you can make it to town again. I have learned from my Mother and my Grandmother how to make something from just about nothing and stretch what you have. I hope it helps!

School is starting soon and when the girls were young they loved to make "Hole in ones." I have heard them called alot of things, egg in a basket, toadhole, etc etc. but at our house we always had a knack for coming up with our own names for things. So Hole-in-ones were what we called this quick breakfast. I always had a sweet little Teflon pan that the girls have called the egg pan for ever, and I think each one of them has one like it.
Melt a spat of butter in the pan on medium heat, then with a small cup cut a hole in a slice of bread lay it in the pan, crack an egg in the center. (if you have your own hens and a rooster, crack the egg in a small bowl to check it and then pour into the center of the egg) let the egg cook till firm enough to turn, flip and let cook another 2-3 minutes depending how you like your egg. Easy and fast.
