Yah, I eat at home a LOT these days....mainly because I've taken up cooking over the last few years, but the prices are sure a lot cheaper than eating out (the quality is better at my home, too....<G>)
That said, there is undoubtedly tremendous inflation at the consumer level in food....dairy products, vegetables and pork are all way up, beef and chicken slightly less so. Restaurants by and large have been able to pass increases on so far, I suspect when the home equity ATM runs dry that may no longer wash.
OK, getting down to business, here's a quick and easy breakfast recipe!
Patron Anejo's Breakfast Burrito
Serves 4, if they're hungry....
Ingredients:
1/2 lb chorizo (if you can't find it, use sausage with no casing)
6 eggs
milk (about 1/4 cup)
grated cheddar cheese (1/4 lb or so)
4 burrito-sized tortillas
Salsa and sour cream to taste
In a large skillet, brown the chorizo over med-high heat. Beat the eggs with the milk. When the chorizo is browned, add egg mixture and cook over medium heat until eggs are scrambled. Heat the tortillas for 15-20 seconds in a microwave. Add 1/4 of the chorizo-egg mixture to the center of each tortilla, along with cheese and sour cream or salsa as desired. Ole!
P.S. The ingredients for this entire recipe run less than 5 bucks.....
