I don’t know about you, but unless I’m cooking breakfast for company or for a special occasion, I want to get in and get out of the kitchen…fast! (And breakfast is the ONE meal Peepaw makes for himself…as long as it’s cold cereal or oatmeal and toast!) I’ve never been a big fan of cereal, […]
Tailgate Breakfast Burritos
