Even though these are breakfast burritos, they also make a fabulous, easy dinner. Add a side of refried beans and some cilantro-lime rice and you have breakfast for dinner, south-of-the-border style. Center cut bacon – This adds lots of smoky, savory flavor, and cooking the eggs in the bacon fat makes the scramble extra delicious. Eggs – Protein-packed eggs replace the rice in a traditional burrito. Veggies – I use scallions and red bell pepper for these breakfast burritos....

When I make cupcakes, I generally doctor up and change a pre-made cake mix. This makes the cupcakes super easy and quick to make, but they taste great!

I also start with a cake mix that already has pudding in the mix....
