Breakfast Scramble & Home Fries

We’re overdue for a major grocery shopping.  We’re out of even the basics like sugar in the raw and splenda.  We’ve been “suffering” without out the sweet stuff for over a week now.   So I’m searching around the kitchen and I find some red skin potatoes that I’d eventually peel and make into little [...]
