This easy breakfast nacho recipe makes every bite delicious! My inspiration was to add everything I love in a breakfast burrito but to eat it on tortilla chips! YUM! Ever since living in NM I have loved finding the best breakfast burritos wherever I go. When I went to grad school in a little town called Socorro, they had a place called Burrito Time and they served the best breakfast burrito ever. Not only were they cheap, we are talking $3 or less, they were fast, seriously delicious and the burritos were huge. Perfect for a poor college student! To make these nachos I pretty much took what I loved from their breakfast burritos and piled it on top of tortilla chips. And you know what? It was sooooo good. Like, I want these all the time good! To make these breakfast nachos, it’s as easy as frying up some bacon, cooking some potatoes, making some scrambled eggs and then combining everything on top of delicious tortilla chips. You can fry up some jalapeno, but that’s totally optional and only for those who like a spicy addition to their breakfast. Then I add diced tomato, shredded cheese, and top everything off with one of my favorite store-bought salsas (you can totally make your own though!). I love the Herdez Green Salsa and will eat it on anything and everything! Ok well, maybe not dessert! But it really adds the perfect final touch to these breakfast nachos! And hey, if you only have tortillas and no chips, no worries! Just pile everything in a tortilla and make an awesome breakfast...

Yummy fruit on any day is so refreshing and this orange juice smoothie is no exception! Not only do you feel good drinking it but it makes your taste buds wake up! The combination of strawberries and bananas is a personal favorite and the added orange juice gives this smoothie an added zing! Give it a try! You won’t regret it! What is it about smoothies that make me think of warm spring or summer days! Shorts, swimming pools and playing outside! Riding bikes, sprinklers and working in a garden. I can’t wait for warmer weather! This strawberry banana smoothie with orange juice is so easy to make and if it’s not summer yet it will bring you warm thoughts! Honestly it’s still really cold where I’m at. We are lucky if it reaches the high 40’s, and I know in other parts of the country it is way colder. But I still love to make smoothies even on cold days (as long as the house is warm!). This smoothie is super simple to make! Simply add orange juice, frozen bananas, and frozen strawberries to a blender and blend! Easy as that! This recipe makes enough for four glasses, if you want to share it that is! The fruit gives you lots of energy and is sweet with all the natural sugar in it. You won’t even realize you are getting several servings of fruit in one glass! Your kids will love it too! If you love this orange banana smoothie you have to try some of my others! They are all amazing and delicious in their own unique...

Let’s get your mouth watering today! How about a nice fluffy, crumbly, moistened, sweet, and enjoyable apple crumb coffee cake recipe. Yes please! Whether you’re wanting a crumbly, sweet breakfast or fluffy, moist lighter dessert, an apple coffee cake is your solution. I rarely bake with refined sugar and have instead learned to bake with honey, applesauce, bananas, and other naturally sweet ingredients like in my banana muffins. However, for the crumbly topping on this apple coffee cake recipe, I added some brown sugar… coffee cake always needs a little sugar. I’m a HUGE fan of Bob’s Red Mill whole wheat pastry flour. It’s the only flour I use. It creates the most light and fluffy baked goods. If you have not tried it, the time is now. You won’t regret it! I look forward to hearing your feedback on this apple crumble cake recipe. Print Apple Crumb Coffee Cake Recipe Fluffy, crumbly, sweet, and enjoyable... everything required in an apple crumb coffee cake recipe.

Easy Sour Cream Coffee Cake, is a yummy treat to enjoy throughout the day, no coffee required! This recipe is the best sour cream coffee cake I have ever had, hands down. It is moist, bursting with cinnamon and topped with a killer cream cheese glaze! When I was little I thought coffee cake was made with coffee or you could only eat it at breakfast while having a cup. I know, kids will think the craziest things! (I also thought to wear fake nails or eyelashes you had to first pluck out your own, I know… little weirdo.) I have to be honest, I have never made one before, but I have eaten my fair share and this is by FAR the best I have ever tasted. I really think the secret to this one is using a lot of sour cream in the batter. Plus, I added a touch of almond extract to give it a little extra oomph and it sure did work, wow! Easy Sour Cream Coffee Cake Directions: Spray a bundt pan liberally with cooking spray, set aside. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl, set aside. Cream together butter and sugar. Add in eggs, vanilla, and almond extracts. Stir to combine, I used a stand mixer for this recipe but feel free to use a hand mixer. Slowly add the dry mixture and little at a time to the bowl, alternating with the sour cream until combined. Scrape the sides as needed. Make the brown sugar filling. Pour 1/3 of the cake batter into the bundt pan and smooth out evenly. Sprinkle...

These pumpkin banana muffins are light, fluffy, and perfect for the Fall. They are meant for breakfast, but don’t be surprised if you’re tempted to eat them for every single meal throughout the day. I made a batch this morning and my three year old wanted them for every meal AND snack! He’s now in bed with a stomach full of these deliciously fulfilling healthy pumpkin banana muffins. This is my VERY most favorite time of the year. It’s right before the holiday season kicks off with Halloween, the weather is starting to cool, leaves are changing, AND it’s prime time for comfort food. I’m already a huge fan of quick breads and have a special weakness for banana pumpkin recipes. I created these Chocolate Pumpkin Banana Muffins a couple years ago and have not looked back since. If there’s a potential recipe where I can continue to combine banana and pumpkin, create I will. I know I repeat myself, however I love sneaking healthy ingredients in recipes without anyone knowing. Fabulously healthy grains like chia seeds and flaxseed are easy to add into muffins such as these. Also, I have tried several different whole wheat flours and now only use Bob’s Red Mill whole wheat pastry flour. It keeps your baked good light, fluffy, and healthy. Trust me. It’s a must try. SO if you’re wanting to keep this pumpkin banana muffin healthy, you can spread coconut oil instead of butter over fresh-out-of-the-oven muffins and drizzle pure honey on top. You can thank me later. Now hurry and go bake these addicting banana pumpkin muffins. Print Pumpkin Banana Muffins...
