No, we weren't beamed up to the Mother Ship. Partner in Grime had a birthday, turning the big Three Two, and we decided to stay close to home.But what for a special Birthday breakfast? Bacon. It's timeless.Bacon Breakfast Burritos. I started with some fried bacon. Then a couple of those formed and frozen cheap hash brown patties (bachelor food found in the freezer) were fried until golden and crisp in the bacon fat (this is SO not "part of this nutritious breakfast!")
That was topped with scrambled eggs to which was added a pinch of chili powder, the bacon and a little sprinkle of white cheese.
Then, the secret ingredient. Jalapeno corn salsa.A couple of cups of frozen corn, thawed
A handful of Cilantro, chopped
2 small jalapeno's chopped (I left some of the seeds in to make it hot)
1/3 sweet onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
a few dashes of salt
juice of a couple limes (approx. 2-3 teaspoons)
Let sit for a bit to let the flavors blend and served with slotted spoon.
This was really easy and will be good on the garlic roasted pork tenderloin I cooked and put in the fridge for him as I drive back to Indy in a couple of hours to go on duty tonight.
Serve as is in a rolled up warm flour tortilla or, if you're like me, add some sour cream and crushed red pepper before bundling it up.
It's brunch, so that sort of counts as lunch which means we also get dessert.
Key Lime Cream Cheese Pie (Recipe in the comments) No, it's NOT traditional key lime pie and is not trying to be. But if you like citrus and cheesecake, this is a super easy dessert made with things many of you will have on hand and requires no baking.
It was a HUGE hit. I would be willing to bet it will be gone by Monday night.Fueled up, it was time for some more weekend fun.No, we didn't eat too much. Why do you ask?
