Oven Scrambled Eggs

We love breakfast for dinner, cause there is no way I will ever make breakfast for breakfast. Sad, I know.  But making all the good stuff requires so much attention and so many pans on the stove.  So I came across this recipe and all you do is mix it up and throw it in the oven and they require very little attention and no space on the stove.  Yay!  This is life changing, people!  We love to use these for breakfast burritos, for dinner of course.

1/4 cup butter
12 eggs
1 teaspoon of salt
1 1/4 cups milk

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Pour melted butter into a glass 9x13 inch baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and salt until well blended. Gradually whisk in milk. Pour egg mixture into the baking dish.
  3. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes, stir, and bake an additional 15 or so minutes, or until eggs are set. Serve immediately.
  4. I like to sprinkle cheddar cheese on ours right after it comes out of the over.  Mmmm, cheesy scrambled eggs!

Black Bean Pinwheels

I was invited to a fiesta to celebrate a friend graduating from her Master's program. I took these yummy pinwheels and they seemed to be a success. My kids loved them so I am posting them here so we can make them again and again!

1 can (16 oz) refried black beans            
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened             
1 pkg (8 oz) shredded Monterey Jack cheese or pepper jack for a little kick 
1/2 cup sour cream             
1/4 tsp garlic salt             
1 pkg (10.5 oz) 6-inch flour tortillas

Mix cream cheese, shredded cheese, sour cream, and garlic salt with an electric mixer on medium speed until blended.              

Spread a thin layer of beans on each tortilla; spread cheese mixture over beans.              

Roll tortillas up tightly. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Cut into ½ -inch slices. Serve with salsa or guac.            

We only used half of the spread and it make plenty. The rest is in the fridge for another batch this weekend.
