Real Life with the Taylors: Making Breakfast Burritos (for dinner)

We're back with another episode of Real Life with the Taylors-- where I help you feel better about yourself and your kitchen skillz.  

Today we're cooking (breakfast for) dinner.  If we had some kind of regular meal rotation around here, these would definitely be a part of it.  

Here's how you make them.

Step 1: Cook some bacon. Baking it in the oven allows you to move on to other steps while its cooking, cleanup is easier, and every square inch of your house won't smell like bacon.

This has to be some kind of record.  Aside from this little post about a delightful combination of favorite things, I have not shared a recipe for over 3 months.

I am so sorry.

a week of meatless meals

I've been trying to incorporate more meatless meals into our repertoire here at the Taylor home for a couple of reasons:

1.)  Having a "plant slant" to your diet is supposed to be a step toward healthier eating.  That is, eating a more plant-based diet is better than one heavy on animal products.  You get more fiber and a wide variety of vitamins and minerals.  Or something.

2.)  I thought it could help us save money.  We cut our monthly grocery budget this year--partly to save money, partly because I wanted a challenge.  Shortly after that, beef prices skyrocketed.  Since I'm not so good at cooking chicken, I needed to come up with some other options.  (Also: we at a LOT of pork).
