    This was pretty good, I loved it. Just wish it had some potatoes in it, I usually like my breakfast burritos with hash browns or fried potatoes in them.

    Can you tell me how much the carbs would change if I left out the onions and peppers? My 4 year old granddaughter would not eat those lol. Thank you.

    My husband was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and I have had type1 since 1995; the doctors keep sending on a marry-go-round and not giving me straight answers as to how to do his meals and such; I have dealt with you in the past and knew I could get a good answer on the meals. Thankfully I found a bunch of recipes he likes and low carb.

    Excellent recipe, it breaks the habit of cereal, oatmeal and bacon. I would recommend this meal.
