Yummy Easy Breakfast Burritos.

This is one of our favorite meals, awesome any time of day and easy to prepare.

In a skillet, fry up some hash browns, I like to use olive oil, it's better for you then the cheaper alternatives, and season with sea salt & pepper, or Mrs Dash.

In a second skillet saute lightly:

Diced onion
Chopped garlic
Chopped chili peppers (or any fresh peppers from your garden, yum)
and diced turkey bacon (the one un-healtyish splurge in this dish, but it is better then the swine alternative)

When your potatoes are ready then add your sautee mixture, mix it all up and then move it all to one side of the skillit.

Crack several eggs in a bowl and add to the empty side of the skillit. Stir the eggs and start the scrambling process, then mix the whole shabang together.. I only takes a minute or so to finish up the egss, stir constantly.

Throw a big scoop in your favorite Whole Wheat tortilla, add salsa, cheese and sour cream.

Enjoy!

For the picky eaters, just put it on the plate, we call it Cowboy Breakfast. A little ketchup and even the pickiest child is eating peppers and onions.. HAHA

Mama's Overnight Yummy Porridge.

Here is the recipe for my overnight porridge. You throw all the ingredients into your crock-pot before you go to bed, and then when you get up breakfast is ready and boy is it yummy!

c = Cup T = Tablespoon

  • 1/2 c Brown Rice
  • 1/2 c Oat Groats
  • 1/2 c Barley (whole or pearled)
  • 1c Rolled Oats
  • 1/4 c Polenta (or cornmeal)1/2 c Millet (or Quinoa)
  • 1/4 c Hulled Buckwheat

You can substitute any of the grains above with something else, sometimes mine has way more Rolled Oats then anything else, it all depends on what's on hand, and the budget of course.

  • 1/2c Whey (or Buttermilk, or Milk)
  • 1/2 c Raisins (or any other dried fruit)
  • 1/2 c Turbinado Sugar (or any sugar you like)
  • 4T Milled Flax Seed
  • 1 T Cinnamon
  • 1/2 T Sea Salt
  • 3 T Butter
  • 7 to 8 c Water


Stir it together, it will be very liquid, it needs it as it will cook all night. Turn your crock-pot on
Low put the lid on and go to bed. This porridge will feed many mouths.

It should be sweet enough and just plain yummy, but some like it sweeter. And left overs should be put into a cake pan pushed flat, and refrigerated. Then during snack time, you cut it into squares and put a dollop of whip cream on it, and you have Porridge Cake, the kids will love it (my hubby like me to make whole batches for him to have in the fridge, he likes to have it at work, filling and tasty all at once).
