Burritos

Burritos are one of the food traditions I grew up with. This is a great Mom meal as it is fast, easy, the kids will eat it, and I happen to like them too. We had these lots growing up, and now as a mother I fully appreciate the beauty of the burrito. I haven't made them in a long while and really have not been taking advantage of this great meal. Don't fear we are now, and we are making up for lost time. Both Andrew and Lexie ate two for lunch yesterday. Don't worry Jess it was with the small corn tortillas not the giant flour ones. Add this dish to your lunch repertoire. It is a good one!

Swedish Pancakes

So here are some delicious Swedish Pancakes. These have become a tradition in my family. It is fun to see this happening in my own little family as I can think of food traditions in the family I grew up in as well as in by best friend, Natalie's family. I'm sure it is not exclusive to our families alone. I remember after fast Sundays as a kid coming home and having crackers with cream cheese on top, and nachos. Natty's fam had Lasagna on fast Sundays ( right?)Hawaiian chicken was always a big hit for Sunday dinner, and Abby's rice, both delicious, and something both my sisters and I make for our families now. I guess it is important what food traditions we create in our families because if you don't think the next generation is going to carry them on, you're wrong. Soda drinking, is one from my family. It is not the healthiest tradition but we all ( all 5 kids) picked it up. It makes us happy and is a little pick me up for the day. We could have picked a worse vice. I did hold out on becoming a regular drinker until 25 and I'm quiting this year just haven't yet, don't doubt me though. Enough babble here is the recipe, it is from my mother-in-law, Linda and we love it:
3 eggs beat till thick
1 1/4 Cups milk
3/4 Cup flour ( you may need to add a little extra)
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Beat all ingredients together, pour on electric skillet or crepe ban or big frying pan or whatever you have and cook them up. I like to cover with berries and a sprinkle of powdered sugar, Lexie likes peanut butter, Andrew jam, and Jeremy butter and about 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. How is he so skinny?
