scrambled eggs and trees
(2 RATINGS)
This is a dish I have served as dinner for as long as I can remember.It came about one night while living in AZ,we were broke beyond broke and had very little food in the house. I put together this little number and set it on the table and immediately my son named it. The name stuck and at least once a week Billy would ask for Eggs and Trees.
