And that moment…..when you charge your camera battery and pack up your camera up for a vacation (camping) only to realize days later that you left your camera on and the battery ran out.
#worstdayever
Thus 2 whole photos were taken all trip and then my camera stopped working.
#FAIL #FAIL #FAIL
I think that means I should order a spare battery so this doesn’t happen again. Orrrr I’ll wait until it happens 2 more times and then finally splurge?
The reason I share this terrible, terrible story is because the photos I did get while camping were of our Garden Scramble with Breakfast Sausage. It’s what inspired me to make this recipe in my own kitchen in the first place!
2 weeks ago Blake and I headed to Gooseberry Falls National Park in Northern Minnesota with our good friends Abbie and Jeff and their two little rascals Charlie and Kara. Blake and I are sort of amateur campers; I used to go when I was a kid and so did Blake, but it’s been years since either of us have gone and we really don’t have any gear at all. Thankfully Jeff and Abbie brought the motherload of camping gear, including a sweet camping stove. Which is legitimately the best thing ever.
We put the guys in charge of this particular breakfast. Tasted so much better than it looks 
Which is part of the reason I kept the eggs whole instead of scrambling. I just haven’t nailed down how to make scrambled eggs look appealing. Baked eggs it is!
Feel free to add whatever kind of veggies your little heart desires. Especially if you have certain ones in your garden that you need to use up.
One day I will have this problem. For now- I’ll have to rely on what’s in season
This was totally one of those meals that tasted better the second and third time consumed.
Bake eggs. I could eat you all day errrrry day!
Do you have a garden?
Do you have any camera horror stories?
