I'm a busy mom and I have no shame in prepping a quick meal for my family on any given night. I LOVE breakfast for dinner and I decided I would do an oldie but goodie: Lox and eggs. My husband was introduced to lox and cream cheese during our Hilton Head vacation (how have I known this man all these years and not known that he's never had lox??) so I did my own spin on it for dinner.



It's quite a simple recipe:

I toasted some plain bagels in the oven at 350. I could have used a toaster but I like my bagels super crispy for this. After the bagels toasted, I spread salmon flavored cream cheese on each end. Some people prefer plain cream cheese, I think the salmon adds a little extra flavor. Then, I start layering. On top of the cream cheese is a handful of capers for the saltiness, followed by a thinly sliced tomato layer, topped with a couple of red onion rings and some smoked salmon pieces.

Is your mouth watering yet? No. Ok....

To top it off, I had some mixed greens because you need your greens in there. Finally, I hit it with a little more capers because I love their tanginess.

To round it out, I fried one egg into a mini, cheesy omelette. Y'all, this meal was so good that we had it twice in a row.

Hey guys! So, yeah, I pretty much suck as a consistent blogger these days LOL BUT in my defense, I was totally engrossed in Game of Thrones, Insecure and life stuff that I just couldn't simply find the time. Life, however, has been interesting so I have a minute to catch up with you.

Let's see...my computer has been giving me fits. I don't know what's going on with my iMac lately but I'm going to blame it on the pending Apple announcements coming up, but it has been on the fritz. I have had to do a factory reset twice...yes, twice. In the process, I lost ALL of my pictures from my #weekendinreview posts that I was going to share with you guys. *face palm* But, no sense is going backwards, right?

I just got back from 3 days in Hilton Head with my family for our annual Labor Day/end of summer trip. Here are a few images:

Every now and then someone comes up with idea to necessary, so cool that you know this person has to be (in the words of my day), "living in South Florida like a baller."

I would like to introduce you to the BabyDam. Good ol' Facebook had this pop up in my timeline and my mind was blown.

WHERE WAS THIS THING TWO YEARS AGO?! My youngest one is almost 3 and I could have used this when I first transitioned him from a baby tub into the regular tub. Right now he has a blow up duck that sits in but prior to that we used the Blooming Flower.

When you think about it, the BabyDam is pretty genius. Moms can now actually sit in the tub with the kiddos instead of leaning over the side of it. Do you know how many back and knee problems that causes?? Well, I'm here to tell you that I will definitely be testing this out when I have my next kid because this is too cool.

Unfortunately, this device does not work with all tubs. My master bath has a garden/jacuzzi tub but the hall bath has a standard size one. Let me know if you get it and try it out.
