Simple Breakfast Burrito

I had an ingenious idea the other day. While stuffing admit packets at the Law School, I started pondering what I would make for lunch. I'm getting really tired of the usual ham sandwich I've made myself since 1st grade. I remembered I had some grape tomatoes and mushrooms and assumed a salad would be fine. Scratch that - no lettuce. So I settled on an omelet, before I remembered I had tortillas. BINGO! Breakfast burrito it is. (I can also thank Bandit Burrito for the inspiration - I had one a few weeks again and it was amazing)

I realize this is just a simple concoction of a few ingredients, but that's what this is all about. I'm all for as few ingredients as possible - and combining whatever I have in the kitchen.

Breakfast Burrito
- Tortilla
- 2 eggs
- grape tomatoes
- mushrooms
- ham
- Mexican cheese

I would suggest heating the tortilla in the oven while you cook the eggs. Just wrap it in foil and let it warm at about 250 degrees.

I scrambled my eggs first. While those are cooking, cut up any vegetables or meat you want to add. Once the eggs are just about ready, add the veggies. Warm them up to your liking. Add some cheese if desired.

 So simple. The second time I made this I added salsa for some zip. It made it 10 times better.

Chicken and Pasta

You will soon discover that I love chicken. I probably eat it at least 4 times a week. It's just so easy to take a piece out of the freezer, throw some Italian dressing on it, and grill it on the Foreman for a few minutes. Viola! Dinner is served.

I had some leftover Chicken Piccata from the other night and vegetables that will go bad if I don't start eating them. My master plan: boiling some water, cook pasta, throw in vegetables and chicken, and eat.

My spectacular pasta dinner:
- Pasta (I used penne but anything works)
- your favorite tomato sauce (I used Bertolli Tomato & Basil, but honestly wasn't impressed)
- grape tomatoes
- mushrooms
- garlic cloves

While the pasta is cooking, heat a skillet with olive oil and a little garlic. Cook the vegetables until they are soft; add chicken.

Once the pasta is cooked, you're done!
