Another quick week night meal with a few inexpensive ingredients, packed with nutrients and protein and of course tex-mex inspired flavors. I recommend watching this quick video on how to cut skirt steak. If you do it wrong, you’ll be chewing that meat for dayzzzz. If you cut it correctly, you will have a tender…

Eggs & Avo “Everything” Sandwich
Avo toast is all the rage lately. Quite frankly it’s delicious if done properly. That means 1) finding ripe avocados and then 2) adding some flavor to make it stand out–whether with salt & cayenne pepper or my new favorite “everything but bagel” seasoning from Trader Joes. I love making breakfast and have come up…
Huevos Rancheros
Mexican breakfast eggs, as my husband calls it, or otherwise known as huevos rancheros is one of my favorite brunch selections. Some combination of eggs, beans, tortilla and salsa… yum. There’s endless ways to make this dish and mine is simply based off what I had in my kitchen. You can certainly make it for…
French Toast Sandwich with Sauteed Bananas and Peanut Butter
This Saturday morning when I walked into the kitchen I saw bananas and bread. I got inspired to do something different. I’m more of an egg and cheese sandwich kind of girl but Kyle loves peanut butter and french toast so I got to experimenting. This was super easy to make and a nice weekend…

Open Faced Egg Sandwich
In my family we will pretty much put a fried egg over any left overs the next morning. Leftover steak and onions? Put an egg on it. Leftover sausage and onion pizza? Heat it up in a frying pan and put an egg on it. You get the idea. This open-faced sandwich is a…
Bananaberry Bread
You all know I don’t bake. It’s too much of an exact science and I hate the lack of freedom. I also don’t care for sweets. But Kyle sent this recipe to me the other day after getting an email about snacks that power up weight loss. And with the new year always comes a…
A Breakfast of Champions… Or the Hungover!
