All it takes is an egg and...

Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday. This year, I am particularly thankful for the blessed Friday after, a day my husband gets to spend at home with me and les girls. (Well, he's actually spending it at home installing flooring in our basement, but you know what I mean --) I celebrated the extra whole-family day by making a big hunt breakfast, as my mom and dad like to call it, complete with eggs, soy bacon and homemade pumpkin muffins that I somehow managed to bake while making dinner two nights ago. (Hello? Domestic goddess committee? I'm over here...) As I finished scrambling the eggs and Michael was scooping up Josephine to put her in her highchair, he paused so she could see what I was doing, and said "WOW, look at Mama's nice eggs!" Not a beat (pun intended) went by before we both cracked up (ditto) thinking about how this is the first November in two years that I haven't been pregnant. I told him to get away from me and my eggs -- it's not that I don't like the rapid-fire babies we already have, but I'd like to take a year off!

I'm not sure we've ever had soy bacon. We do eat turkey bacon, but I'm not sure we've ever had soy bacon. I take it you like the taste?

Taste and texture vary by brand, for sure. I think that it has to be appreciated for what it is rather than as bacon. It has that nice salty taste, though -- kind of like Bacos, which are made of soy. My husband, who is a carnivore, thinks it's a worthwhile substitute given the health benefit.
