Oreck Dry Carpet Cleaning System



I swear by this stuff.  You can use it to spot clean or clean the whole carpet.  It works wonders and it is a "green" product.  It has removed red wine stains from my cream colored carpet on multiple occasions.  Need I say more?

Breakfast Burritos

This weekend I had a horseback riding clinic. Roughly translated, this means I spent about 4 hours on both Saturday and Sunday at the barn with my horse. To easy the blow, I made Breakfast Burritos

What you will need from Trader Joe’s
Roast Beef Hash
Eggs
Enchilada Sauce
3 Cheese blend
Large flour tortillas


(1) Cook up the Roast Beef Hash in a fry pan with butter, Tabasco, and a pinch of salt. Since this mixture comes fully cooked in its vacuum seal pouch, it just needs a little browning.
(2) Crack a few eggs on top. Mix the whole thing together and continue to stir while the eggs cook into the mixture. --- If you have it, I would encourage diced fresh jalapenos. DO NOT use the seeds. You will regret it.
(3) Place 3 large spoon fulls of the egg and roast beef hash on to the center of a tortilla.
(4) Top with cheese and enchilada sauce.
(5) Fold the ends of the tortilla in toward the center to create the burrito effect.
(6) Wrap the burrito in tin foil and place in the over for a few minutes.



These are a favorite in my house. Plus, they are a filling breakfast on the run. They are best coupled with a Bloody Mary or a beer.



Enjoy!
