Breakfast Burrito, Camping Style

We've been making these Burritos for years now when we go camping (we make them at home too, easy fast breakfast), they are great!

Breakfast Burritos

Things you need...

large pot of boiling water

Ingredients...
1. Eggs ( 1-2 per baggie, today I used 3 bantam eggs)
2. Anything you would like in your omelet like... shredded cheese, ham or sausage (already cooked), salsa, use your imagination possibilities are endless

Directions...
1. Bring your water to a rolling boil.
2. Crack 2 eggs into the quart size ziplock bag, shake to combine them.

4. Make sure to get the air out of your bag and zip up.
5. Place bags into boiling water for 15-20 minutes. When done carefully take out of pot and cut open the bag. Be carefully of the steam. Your omelet will roll out easily onto your plate or tortilla.

Happy 17th Birthday Cody...

We took Cody out last night for his birthday date... dinner and a movie. We went to Texas Road House and seen The A - Team, good movie :)

* Cody, Brian and I all decided last night we really dont care for going out to eat anymore, its just not worth it, we think I cook better food at home. For the past 6 or so months everytime we go out to eat it kind of sucks, it seems to us that restaurants have went way down hill with their service and their food, or maybe I've just spoiled my family with my cooking in Jenny Crockers kitchen, lol?!?! So startin next year for birthdays we are going to do a family dinner/cake at home then take that b-day person out to a movie of their choice.

My Kitchen Window...

A friend of mine made this comment the other day, "You must have a lot of great windows... there's always sunshine in your lovely pics!" Well I take most of my pics. from the kitchen and we have this wonderful huge window right in front of the sink that lets in all the beautiful sunlight, I love it . (Plus we have a sliding glass door.)

So when I have to wash dishes atleast I have a pretty view. I love looking out this window, one of my bird feeding stations is right out back...

So Whats Out Your Kitchen Window...
