Hello friends in Bella Bella 
Did you feel the recent earthquakes? Hope it didn’t do too much damage. Hello friends in Ontario and everyone else who was affected by the big storm 
Best wishes to you and your families.
November is financial literacy month. It’s when a bunch of organizations come together to raise awareness and share knowledge about personal finance to help people make responsible financial decisions. There are lots of free seminars, and workshops that will be going on across the country throughout this month. If you’re bored, check out the fcac website to create your calender and find out if any events are near you ^_^

On another note, I was inspired by agent Fang’s wraps last month and decided to make my own version. I like to call it the 5 minute breakfast burrito. Because it takes 2 minutes to prepare and 3 minutes to cook :0) We’re all busy in the mornings so this is a good way to have a meal without wasting a lot of time.
Step 1: Grab a soft shell tortilla, some sausage, eggs, and mushrooms
Step 2: Cube sausage and shrooms and crack the eggs over them
Step 3: Cook over stove top on high heat for 2-3 minutes while stirring constantly
Et Voila! Wrap the contents with the tortilla and serve with salsa. The 5 minute breakfast burrito. Enjoy (✌ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞

Random Useless Fact: Here’s a map to show where recent visitors of this blog came from. Lots of readers from North Ameirca and Europe I see :0)
Hey, well the storm did a bit of damage in our city but no like some other surrounding towns and cities. I learned you always have to be prepared. That burrito looks so easy to make especially for those in a rush in the mornings. Thanks for sharing my post mate. Mr.CBB
Glad you guys are okay. Being prepared is paramount. We don’t have to worry about hurricanes and such on the west coast, but people here take earthquake preparedness very seriously.
Thanks for the mention! Pic looks tasty, I’m hungry now. Need food. Bye
Haha, I’ve been thinking about getting a new camera to take better pictures of these things.
Thanks for the mention! The burrito looks awesome!
No problem. Glad you like my cooking.
Those burritos look great. We just go some soft shell taco wraps and I think we’ll be having something similar tomorrow morning!
Good timing. I like burritos because you can use any type of filling you want. I think bacon, mushrooms, and cheese would also be a great combination of flavors.
That burrito looks yummy! Thanks for mentioning my post
Any time. Glad everyone likes the burrito so much.
Thanks for the mention! Have a great weekend|!
You too. And we get an extra hour this weekend :0) #DST
Oh man you are making me hungry, will try it this week!!!!!!
Cool. If the taste is too bland you can of course add salt and pepper to taste. I also forgot to mention as an optional condiment you can add some sour creme
Thanks for the mention this week!
Sure thing. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Thanks for the mention. I live in SD and eat Mexican food about 5 times a week haha but this still looks awesome!
We don’t have that many Mexican places to eat up here in BC but we’ve got plenty of other styles of cuisine like Italian, Japanese, and Greek, and I’m a fan of it all
Thanks for the link love. It’s appreciated.
Thanks for posting your article.
I like your spin on the burrito! I will try that for tomorrow’s lunch since I still have some tortillas leftover!! Minus the salsa as it’ll get too messy to eat at the office.
Thanks for the original idea. I learned if you can wrap it properly you can keep all the juices inside without it being too drippy.
Thanks for the mention! The burrito looks pretty tasty! It’s pretty cool that you have some European fans!
Yeah, but surprisingly little support from the southern hemisphere. Maybe it’s a language thing.
Thanks for the link to the explicit song! I find it extremely catchy..,
It’s hard to find good songs about persona finance lol. Great handle btw
Hahah thank you. My handle makes me hungry
