Life as an Aced

Eddie LOVES breakfast while I on the other hand am perfectly happy just having a cup of coffee. Every once in while tho I will surprise him and make breakfast. A while back I wanted to make breakfast burritos but didn't realize till the end that I was out of flour tortillas and only had corn -- so instead I made breakfast quesadillas!!! Was a little worried at first but they actually turned out pretty good Breakfast Quesadillas Ingredients Corn Tortillas Cheese Scrambled Eggs Bacon Directions 1) Pre heat oven to 350 degrees and Lay out two tortillas per quesadilla 2) Put cheese on each tortilla then scrambled eggs on one and bacon on the other 3) Bake for 5 minutes 4) Put the quesadillas together then broil each side for 2 minutes NOTE: -I use sliced sandwich cheese for convince but really any cheese works -Feel free to mix this up with different meats and veggies

Monkey Bread is the big new thing on Pinterest. Everyone has their own version ranging from sweet to savory and everything in between. All of the recipes are pretty similar: Get a can of biscuits --> cut them up --> toss in butter and other ingredients --> then bake until its done. Eddie has been craving both garlic bread and cheesy bread so I joined the trend and created my own version of monkey bread Cheesy Garlic Monkey Bread Ingredients: 1 can of Biscuits 1/4 cup Butter (melted) 1/2 cup Shredded Cheese 1/2 tsp Greek Seasoning Parmesan Cheese Directions: 1) Pre-Heat Oven to 350 degrees 2) Open Can of biscuits and cut each one into quarters 3) Toss biscuits in butter, shredded cheese, and greek seasoning 4) Put mixture in baking pan and top with parmesan cheese 5) Bake for 20-25 minutes

Not sure if any one has tried the pretzel rolls at Trader Joe's yet but those are the inspiration for Eddie's Choice Dinner this week. I saw them at Trader Joe's the other day and we used them  as rolls for a sandwich for lunch and they were soooooo good I had to go back the next day and buy more so I could make these burgers Pretzel Bun Burgers Ingredients: -Trader Joe's Pretzel Rolls (sliced for use as a bun) -Ground Beef  -Bacon -Cheddar Cheese Directions: 1) Prep Ground Beef with your favorite burger seasonings then shape into long ovals 2) Cook Burgers and Bacon 3) Top Burger with Bacon and Cheese 4) Let cheese melt while still cooking 5) Prep burger with favorite toppings and enjoy!

I'm really starting to like our tradition of Eddie choosing dinner for Tuesday night. Last week he choose Pepper jack and Bacon crescent Roll up Appetizers and Bacon Cheeseburger Roll ups for dinner.
