Love me some chorizo! It's my favorite kind of breakfast taco to order from our nearby jalisco. (A jalisco is a type of Tex-Mex restaurant here in San Antonio, specializing in food made from the Jalisco region in Mexico.) There's one about 10 minutes from our house that has the very.best.breakfast.tacos.ever. We don't go out for breakfast very often (once every 2 months … [Read more...]
Kale Quiche Recipe
This recipe is part of the 9 Organic Meals from Costco for $100 Plan. There is just something about a simple, flavorful quiche recipe. Then load it with nutrient rich kale, and you've got a winning breakfast meal! My boys are resistant to green leafy vegetables. So I end up hiding them into smoothies...and 'not-so-hiding' them in recipe like this one. And it's amazing that … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Spice French Toast Bake
I may have gotten a little carried away over the holidays when it came to buying canned pumpkin. The last two years there was a canned pumpkin shortage and I didn't want to run out of it in the middle of the year when there are no cans of pumpkin in the grocery store. Now I find myself with a large stockpile of canned pumpkin, just in case. We make Pumpkin Chocolate … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Egg Casserole with Sausage and Red Pepper
I love the versatility of the slow cooker. I recently discovered the art and science of overnight slow cooking. I love the idea of waking up to a hot breakfast, ready in the slow cooker. And I love the idea of slow cooking a batch of granola or grits, and that it's waiting for me to enjoy in the morning. This recipe works beautifully in the slow cooker. There are no … [Read more...]
Eggs In a Nest
When it comes to doing creative things in the kitchen to celebrate holidays, I try to keep things simple. I like to do something fun with common ingredients that doesn't require too much brain power or time getting ready - especially for breakfast! Here are some fun Valentine's breakfast ideas: Strawberries: Remove the stem, cut in half lengthwise and cut out a tiny bit … [Read more...]
Ham and Cheese Breakfast Egg-Tacos
Having a mixed bag of food allergies and intolerances in our family makes certain dinner ideas and concepts a challenge...but what I love about this one...it easily catered to my egg-free child and my gluten-free child, both of whom happen to be dairy free as well. Ryan enjoyed this ham and egg rollup that you see above...even had a second 'egg tortilla.' Tyler enjoyed a ham … [Read more...]
Salsa Verde Breakfast Tacos
Okay y'all...first of all...these breakfast tacos are AMAZING. My husband, who has become quite the "taste tester" over the years, went on and on and on and on about these being the best breakfast tacos. BUT...this meal wasn't without incident. After dinner, I noticed that Tyler had developed a rash on his chin and by the time bedtime rolled around (not long after dinner!), … [Read more...]
Christmas Day Brunch Recipe Round-Up
Ahhh, Christmas morning. The excitement, the fun, the "wow, I love it!" exclamations, the tearing of paper, the mess, the noise, the utter bliss with your family. Until. The tummies start grumbling and cries of "What's for breakfast?" start to be heard. Everyone does Christmas breakfast/brunch a little differently. Some like quick meals that were prepared the night … [Read more...]
Roasted Poblano Pepper Quiche
Egg pie. That's what my about to be 4 year old called this quiche. He has become quite the sous chef in the past few weeks...always coming into the kitchen and helping me cook. I've started to let him help me crack the eggs (highly supervised still!) and taught him it's better to crack on the counter than the edge of the bowl, and how to keep the yolk from running all over … [Read more...]
Zesty Egg Salad
I <3 egg salad. I really, really <3 egg salad. (I wish that I could include a cute little puffy, pounding heart...because I really like and love egg salad.) If I'm not having a green salad for lunch, chances are I'm having egg salad, on a sandwich or with pita chips. Well, I recently gave my typical egg salad a makeover by including some horseradish and green onions. … [Read more...]
