Breakfast Burritos

I find this recipe completely appropriate for this weekend. Why you ask? Well it's because I’m experiencing a month filled with the fabulous Smith family. And if you haven’t figured out by now this recipe comes from them. They have and will continue to keep my weekends busy until the charming Leah is wed in just a few short weeks! This weekend is the last of Leah's Bridal Showers and my last opportunity to spend a bit of time with her before her big day! I also get the pleasure of spending another fabulous weekend away with her sister and my dear friend Abbie. I've begun to love our road trips! Speaking of love, my sweet husband will be taking care of the kids again in order for me to go! Isn't he incredible! He has given me two weekends away in one month!! I'm blessed with an amazing husband for sure. I must add that he did a fantastic job with our little ones and made all the meals himself during my last excursion! No extra work for me, I feel very blessed.

So back to the recipe, a few years ago while I was pregnant with our oldest, we were visiting the Smith's over their famous 4th of July weekend. I was in my 1st trimester and not feeling well most of the time. I became quite the picky eater. If memory serves me right, the night before they served this meal they had gone out to get greasy fried southern/drive in style food. A fan of this I was not! Truth be told, if it had been my next pregnancy I would have been all over it like white on rice! Yes well this wasn't that pregnancy. This was the one when I had an extra heightened sense of smell, which brings me back to the moment when I said, "What’s that horrible smell coming from a block away?". Of course I completely deserved the looks I received from that comment. I couldn't even stand being in the room with the crinkled white bag of seeping grease! I went out onto the porch and could still smell it! Let me just say Abbie was amazing and knew just what to do with a pregnant woman on the brink of a collapse. She took me on a boat ride until we received the all clear from the family compound. I can only guess what those poor people did after they had their meal. I have the image of them dancing around their home with air fresheners because of this crazy pregnant woman! Well needless to say when I arrived, there wasn't a single trace of fried grease in the air and in fact I believe the light scent of berries embraced us instead. So after all of that I was truly delighted to have these scrumptious burritos the next morning ;)
