Chris’ Disappearing Migas

I love eggs, but until I met Chris, I had never had migas; it is now a staple in our house — breakfast, lunch, or dinner.  It’s super easy, Tex-Mex comfort.  In its simplest form, it is a scramble of eggs, onions, chips, and cheese.  At its best, it has more veggies and fresh cilantro, and is served alongside Chris’ equally amazing black beans (although, I’ve been known to get lazy and add the beans to the scramble).  Here is a heartier and super delicious version.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 red pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 ear sweet corn, kernels sliced from cob
  • 5 eggs, beaten
  • 3 oz chevre, crumbled
  • 1 cup tortilla chips, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • salt and pepper

Directions

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Once skillet is warm, add oil and butter; as butter melts, rotate pan to coat bottom.  Add onion, red pepper, and sweat corn; saute 4-5 minutes, or until vegetables are soft.

Reduce heat to medium-low.  Add eggs and salt and pepper to taste.  Scramble, stirring constantly to ensure egg curds remain small and do not stick to bottom of the pan.  When eggs are three-quarters cooked, reduce heat to low, and add the chevre and cilantro; continue stirring constantly.  When nearly done, stir in tortilla chips; cook for one minute.  Remove from heat and serve.

Serves 2.5 (although I could have eaten the entire pan myself!)

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
