Yesterday
HBear went on a field trip with her class to Art Knapps. It is a overpriced
local gardening store. My Mom met them there to be a chaperone. This is the
first time she has felt well enough to volunteer and they both were excited :)
Now
my Mom can be a big kid herself lol Just picture this…
For
2 weeks now the teachers have been practicing with the kids walking in line and
holding hand. Single file in groups of 2. The BIG trip finally comes and my Mom
takes her 2 kids HoneyBear and Friend and of course veers off away from the
group whenever she sees something she knows HoneyBear would like to touch. Of course
the kids have all been told that this is a LOOKING and SEEING trip not a
FEELING trip!!!! LOL She got chastised and told to stay in line more than the
kids…. Even the kids were telling her not to leave the line LOL. Too funny.
Last
night was a lazy day so we had Breakfast Quesadillas. MMMMMmmmm, they were so
good. I used 2 whole tortillas for each of us so we each had a triangle or 2
leftover for lunch today. I love fresh salsa. So does HoneyBear, in fact when
she took her Star snack this week and picked out tortilla chips and salsa, she
was VERY confused at the jarred stuff. LOL
“No
Mommy not that dips… the gooood dips.”

Adapted
from The Pioneer Woman
1
lb bacon
Butter
1
sweet onion, diced
1
bell pepper, diced
1
jalapeno, diced
11
eggs
1/4
cup half-and-half
Salt
And Pepper, to taste
½
teaspoon paprika
8
tortillas
1-1/2
cup marble cheese, grated
Pico
De Gallo
Sour
Cream
For
the Pico De Gallo: Dice 4 Roma tomatoes very small. Dice 1 red onion same size.
Add a handful of chopped cilantro. Add salt and pepper and the juice of 1 lime.
Mix and put in fridge.
Bake
the bacon for 20 minutes at 350, then remove it to a paper towel-lined plate.
Place
a skillet over high heat. Add a couple of tablespoons of butter then add the
onions, bell pepper, and jalapeno. Stir it around and cook until the veggies
are starting to soften and turning golden brown. Remove to a bowl and set
aside.
Set
the skillet back on the stove over medium-low heat.
Mix
together the eggs, half-and-half, and salt, pepper and paprika in a bowl. Add 1
tablespoon of butter to the skillet, then pour in the eggs. Scramble them. Turn
off the heat and set aside.
To
assemble the quesadillas, place a tortilla on a buttered griddle over
medium-low heat. Add a layer of cheese, a layer of cooked veggies, a layer of
bacon slices, a layer of eggs, and another layer of cheese. Top with a second
tortilla.
Cook
on both sides, flipping carefully, until the cheeses are totally melted and
filling is hot. Repeat with the other tortillas and ingredients.
Slice
the quesadillas into four wedges each. Serve on a plate with sour cream and
pico de gallo.

Ninja doesn't like sour cream... but it totally adds to it! |
Today
is beautiful! It is +23!!!! I love this sunny Okanagan weather! Today we were
up bright and early and went for a walk. We did a Nature Scavenger Hunt.
HoneyBear held onto her list and we picked up whatever we could and put it into
our nature bag. Whatever we couldn’t pickup she took a picture of with her
LeapPad. It was a beautiful morning and we had a lot of fun :) Minus the screaming
SydneyBean did towards the end… she is just so curious! She wants to see the world
but I want to keep her precious skin covered from the big bad sun :)
