38. I am the omelet Queen.....Mexican Omelet




It appears that there is a mixed message when it comes to eggs and egg consumption...but I think they are perfect packages of healthy protein and I have been dabbling in all kinds of breakfast omelets....some could even be a great lunch or dinner....

I love this omelet...It has some of my favorite flavors....green onions, red peppers, tons of cilantro and cheese....topped off with some taco sauce....this is delish!!!



Do you like omelets?

This is simply ...2 eggs...scrambled....add some chopped green onions and chopped red peppers...tons of chopped fresh cilantro....and salt and pepper....then cook ...flip...add some good cheddar cheese....and top with taco sauce....

Scrumptious!!!!

41. Merry Christmas!!!!



Wishing you all a most Blessed Christmas filled with amazing times....new memories....old traditions...lots of amazing food and even more laughs and great times...today we celebrate the Birth of Jesus Christ....Happy Birthday Jesus!!!! All we need is time to be grateful and to take it all in....and enjoy the little things that make this day super special!!!! It is so much more!!

“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,
stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.”

― Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
