Today’s Recipe: Cheesy Bacon & Asparagus Omelet

Did you know? National Men Make Dinner Day is November 1. My DIL, Ashley, knew just the person to assist with the task. Namely her hubby, Brian. He is the breakfast maker at their house, and who doesn’t love breakfast for dinner? So they broke out the fixins for omelets and got crackin’. Egg crackin’, that is.

While the bacon is baking, pour a cup of coffee and relax. (Notice Brian’s “mapron.”
One of the ladies of the chatroom made and mailed it here to the farm for him.)
