 Sharp cheddar is my favorite, but any cheese will work great. Try Mozza, Monterey Jack, or crumbled cotija!

Warm corn or flour tortillas are used to wrap up all those eggs, cheese & bacon into a taco!

VARIATIONS The sky is the limit when it comes to add-ins and toppings!

      • Add-ins: Diced veggies, tomatoes, black olives, sliced jalapenos, cooked hashbrowns, or sliced green onions!

How to Make Breakfast Tacos

One of the reasons why breakfast tacos are so popular is because they are so easy to make!

  1. Keep corn or flour tortillas warm in aluminum foil.
  2. Cook eggs until they are just barely cooked, and still shiny. Top with cheese.
  3. Top with bacon, sour cream, and salsa, then wrap!

PRO TIP: Freeze extra scrambled eggs to use for future breakfast tacos! Place scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheese in a zippered bag with the date on it and freeze for up to one month! Easy to thaw and reheat in the microwave and add to fresh tortillas or even serve with toast!

Roasted Summer Squash (With a Panko Breading)

Image
Roasted summer squash is oven-easy and super tasty! Rounds of squash are seasoned and topped with a crispy crumb topping. I love yellow squash in this recipe but you can use zucchini, patty pans, and even crookneck squash if they’re still popping up in your supermarket. An Easy Side Dish This recipe brings out the very best flavors with just a few ingredients and even fewer steps! Squash takes just minutes to roast and has great flavor. The simple crispy coating clings to each piece adding flavor and crunch! Ingredients or Variations SQUASH Naturally, summer squash is the star here (zucchini or pattypan work great in this recipe too). BREADING  The light breading mixture of Panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and some seasonings like lemon pepper, paprika, and salt is what pulls this recipe altogether! OTHER VEGGIES Why not switch up the recipe and add some of your other favorite veggies. Ensure you use ones that have a similar cook time, we love asparagus spears and bel

Fennel Is, Without a Doubt, Our Favorite Spring Herb

Image
Every week we get Down & Dirty, in which we break down our favorite unique seasonal fruits, vegetables, and more.   This week we’ve got fronds on the brain—fennel fronds, that is. You can find fresh fennel year round, but it really peaks during spring. Once you get your hands on fennel, you’ll probably be taken by the pleasant, anise-like aroma and then immediately think to yourself: “Okay…but what do I do with this?” Because as cool as fennel is to look at, and as lovely as it smells, it’s not the most common herb to cook with. Adding crushed fennel seeds to meatballs? Duh! But roasted fresh fennel wedges as part of a weeknight meal? Can’t say that’s exactly in my repertoire.    So if you want to start cooking with fennel, we’ll go over what to look for when selecting fennel, how to store it, and how to use every part of the plant from bulb to stalk to fronds—and more! Licorice haters fear not, there might be hope for you and fennel after all.   What to Look For First things
