Hello and how the heck are ya?
Doing well, I hope!
This morning dawns the beginning
of a new school year for my two oldest kids.
My poor middle daughter Emily has been back to school
for five weeks now.
Oh the blessing of year round school.
Not really fair is it?
The dear girl has reminded me no less than
7 bazillion
times how unfair it is
that she is
“……the ONLY one who has school, Mom.
My life is full of despair, it’s just not FAIR!
All the rest of you people are just home eating bon bons
and playing and having fun…
sob, sob,
sniffle
sniflle….
boo hoo.
waaaaaaaaahhhhhhh.”
Can you really blame her?
Life can be hard when you are 9 years old.

And so, for this full figured mother of five
having all three of my big kids back in school this morning
is a calm and quiet blessing.
Though I will miss them, let it be known for the record.
Since school is back in session…

Now….let’s make some breakfast.
Hearty Breakfast Burritos
Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 8 servings
Recipe from Jamie Cooks It Up!
2 dozen eggs
splash of milk
salt and pepper
1 32 ounce bag Southern Potatoes
5 T butter
salt and pepper
8-10 large burrito style tortillas
Toppings:
diced ham
bacon
cheese
salsa
sour cream
BBQ sauce
ketchup
maple syrup
***NOTE: To make these Hearty Breakfast Burritos come together even quicker you can omit the potatoes. End of note.***
1. Crack your eggs and put them in a large mixing bowl. Add the splash of milk and a little salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs up until they are nice and frothy.
2. Heat up a large skillet over medium high heat. Spray it with cooking spray and pour your eggs right in.
3. Scrape the bottom of your pan until the eggs are cooked through.
4. While your eggs are cooking heat up another skillet and add the butter. Pour your hash browns in and cook them until they are golden brown.
5. Heat your tortillas in the microwave, or wrap them in tin foil and let them heat through in a warm oven.
6. Set out the tortillas, potatoes, eggs…..
some yummy toppings and let your family build a little bit of breakfast wonder.
Thanks so much for dropping by, today.
Have a good one….
here’s to a new school year!
We like whole grain waffles topped with peanut butter. [email protected]
Variety Pancakes. Plain batter and then we add what everyone likes in separate bowls. I like mine blueberry or cherry, dad goes for chocolate chip and the kiddos like it when I write messages on them with edible markers and serve with homemade strawberry syrup and whip cream.
My sons favorite breakfast would be pancakes. Or breakfast puffs, but I don't make those on school days. My daughter just started kindergarten this week and is blowing me away because she doesn't want to eat breakfast…she always wants to eat breakfast. She loves breakfast burritos, oatmeal, and cereal. We're going to try to start doing more smoothies (any recipes for those would be appreciated!).
My kids love scrambled eggs. They would eat them every day if I let them. [email protected]
A lot of the time it's just cold cereal but when time permits they love either pancakes or french toast.

Each of us is different. Two like pancakes, two prefer cold cereal, and one will eat everything and anything and requests something different every day!
My son would eat cold cereal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I let him! His other favorite is german pancakes. Thanks!

My daughter's most requested breakfast is sausage and eggs. I make them for her whenever we have the time!
