Do you see nothing but junk food in this picture? Attention authority figures: It is time to turn me in to the bad wife club because I bought nothing with nutritional value whatsoever.
Everyone is innocent before proven guilty, right? Well, let me explain my side of the story. It all started before this picture. Sure, everyone tells you "Never go to the grocery store hungry" and I never agreed until this grocery store run. Erik and I did our favorite past time (sleeping in and made breakfast together), so we got a late start to our Saturday morning. I have a tendency for making food and not eating because I am infused with the aroma of food, so I normally skip out. While Erik is enjoying is homemade toquito( recipe at the bottom) and I got ready.
We head out to do our Saturday ritual(errands and grocery store). We do our Target run, pet co, and now headed for Kroger. My stomach starts to talk to me. I mean really talk to me: where I am looking at Erik as my entree. I try to stay focus by grabbing the list, ads/coupons, and my pen.
We started with ordering deli meat, produce, and then it hit me I am in a grocery store. I tell myself" Lauren, you aren't going to eat here bc your eyes will be bigger than your tummy." Erik is being such a trooper and takes the list to help me out bc at this point people are starring at me bc my tummy is being so loud. I don't know what happened, but something snapped inside of me. I start putting all sorts of stuff inside the basket. (cereals, kid snacks, chocolate milk, and of course chips.)Erik comes back and looks at me. At this point, I didn't think anything of it until I got home. Erik was unpacking the groceries while I was putting up. I noticed I bought ding dongs and thought wow I haven't had those since I was in jr. high. Then, I saw twinkies and more. I took all groceries out of the bags and lay the groceries on the counter. Erik comes in and told me "Lauren, you bought a lot of junk food." I thought to myself "you think" ugh...how are going to eat all this junk food? We just sit back and laugh bc I learned a very valuable lesson. Never go to the grocery store hungry bc you will buy everything!
of course, Cooper was helping in ways of his own by putting up the grocery bags...
Paper or plastic, I think he wanted his treat mommy threw in the mountain of bags!

Warning: Bonding will occur during cooking
Lauren & Erik's Breakfast Taquitos:
Serves 2-3
Ingredients:
-6 eggs
-1 package of bacon
-1 container of hot sauce
-1 package of cheese
-1 package of Tortillas( HEB has the best homemade ones)
- 1 Tsp or so Cayenne pepper
- Salt/pepper or Truffle salt is what we use from Dean & Deluca, William Sonoma, or Sur la Table
- 10 or so toothpicks
Directions:
Gather ingredients up!
Cook eggs as you would prepare scrambled eggs. I add truffle salt and cayenne pepper to give it flavor. (set aside in a bowl)
Next, fire up your griddle (if u dont have one microwave bacon with plate for a couple mins) (set aside)
Get tortillas out and place on plate.
Grab a handful of cheese,egg, and bacon and put on tortilla. Roll the tortilla up like a taco. Once, it is rolled up pin each side with a toothpick to secure all goodness inside. Do all of them until ingredients are gone.
Eat and enjoy!!
Best served with Mimosas or orange juice!
